Modern Art!

Paintshop Pro is an odd beast, and I suspect it's smarter than I am. In my attempt to make an icon I like, PSP outsmarted me with its wily layers, and I came up with some odd results.

Though they're not large images at all (28 Kb and 33 Kb) I stuck them behind the cut so I don't clutter up peoples' friends pages.





The hand (which I added in PSP along with the glass) had been too big, so I copied it out so I could resize it, but something funky was happening with the layers and only parts of the areas got copied.


The icon is sort of coming along, but I ran out of time tonight before I could finish it.



I want to darken the bandana "tails" and work on his hand/wrist more tomorrow. I think I need to darken the outline of the glass he's holding... and is the juice too brightly/oddly colored? I know it's unnaturally colored, that's fine, but is it distracting? Maybe I should mute the colors a little...

Bedtime!

It looks nice with the colors. And, I just noticed this, but are they naked? XD I ask because it appears that Kaidou is naked (from the part of his body just under his head). If so, yay! Nekkid chibis! :3 I think the glass would be a little clearer if you darken the outline, and the color of Inui's juice is perfect. It wouldn't be effective unless it were oddly colored or radioactive now, would it? ^_~

Heehee! Now what would sweet, innocent chibis be doing naked? ;) But yep, they are. Of course it's just for totally innocent reasons... their clothing probably just fell off during a match or something... Really!

Cool, thanks! I'll be working on it more tonight post-work.

Of course that's what it is. ~smirk~ I am convinced that no TeniPuri chibi is either sweet or innocent. They are evil. Don't let that cute exterior fool you. ^^

*giggles* Sounds accurate to me!

The icon looks good to me. :-)

Thank you! I'm still fiddling with it -- hopefully I'll eventually get to a point where *I* like it, too. :)
