This is a thread in which I want you to post - your own - photoshopped pictures, gags, or cartoons. Of course, this could also just be a drawing or done with Paint/Paint.net. If you'd like to do some photoshopping yourself, but don't have the money to spare, and you can't do piracy, Paint.net is the perfect program to use (it's even better than Photoshop, in my experience). Here's a picture of Nappy I made:
There is already a thread for pictures you want to share that aren't your own. I have basic Photoshop skills - I can edit, merge and retouch stuff pretty well, but not much beyond that. I draw a little bit, often in the anime/manga style even though I don't watch/read that stuff. My sisters do, and they got me into drawing it, because it's quick, low maintenance, low cost and relatively easy. Here are some of my sketches. If you want proof, this should be enough, if not I might do some suggestions if I don't dislike you and you ask nicely.
That's some pretty good stuff you've got there. And why don't you just use one of your drawings as an avatar? They're surely good enough.
Well, I made my avatar myself using both Paint and Gimp 2.0. I absolutely detest the interface of Gimp, but hey, it works.
You mean the current, or the last one? Anyway, I hugely prefer Paint.net. They have a sweet, sweet interface.
Oh, no, the last one was just an EU3 logo I found, this one I made myself (as in, took the first Tyrannosaurus Rex picture that had its head tilted the right way, and then pasted on my epic sunglasses).
Speaking of, you should change your location to "The Netherlands, Pangaea". That way, people will recognize you as a part of the one and only Dutch Race.
Well, on Pangaea, I think the Netherlands were fully submerged. Also, I think people know by now. And if they don't, meh, whatever, they can hit me up on Skype or something, not only does it say my location, I still have a pretty recognisable accent, which I sadly can't do anything about. ...not to mention, it completely kills the joke, if you ask me.
Yeah. I guess. But your accent isn't half as bad as ParadoxianLPs accent. Not that I find a strong accent a bad thing, sometimes I think it's just really funny.
Yeah, his accent is quite heavy. Still, last week, I went to a congress where I literally couldn't tell what the hell one of the speakers was talking about, he had such a heavy accent...
Do you watch Para? When I first told you about him, you had no idea who he was. But I never have any problems with Dutch accents for some reason. I guess that's just because the Dutch language has the same sounds, and I know which sounds people are trying to make.
Hmm, I think you posted one of his videos here once, I've been watching him since. Shivers go down my spine when someone pronounces English words as if they were Dutch.
Thanks for all the compliments. Not really sure, but I guess it's because it's not very reflective of me. It's something I do as a leisure activity, not something I treasure. Some more stuff: I'm still learning to draw bodies well, as you can tell from my mess of the proportions of the girl on the right. I'm surprised at how well the boy on the left turned out though. This one is the finished product of the first sketch I posted. The colouring is digital, done with a combination of PaintTool SAI and GIMP. @Chelsea366, what anime/manga is your avatar from?
It's not from either. It's a picture of a character from the Touhou series of games, Remilia Scarlet. I have always used Touhou avatars. You are very skilled at drawing, I agree.
