one comment on all the GIMP things two pages ago (*is always late on topics that interest me*) GIMP, when you can code, is an amazing tool because the coding is relatively easy to add to or manipulate. Personally I can barely do basic code, but my brother rewrote gimp so that he can do some amazing things with it. However, for the casual user with money or a friend with a bootleg disc, off the shelf Photoshop is better. GIMP is a great tool, but I have both, and with no modifications Photoshop does more, and does it better. There was a time with photoshop that in a picture of any woman, I could add two cup sizes and make it look real.
blackwing, I love your art <3 If you would let me, I'd like to make a request and can even pay for it
Also, seriously, any artist with this kind of ability deserves praise. I wish I could do that, you have a true talent and I'm glad you use it. I'm especially glad you choose to share with all of us.
Skullfucking. Any questions?
