Pirate Aiwa

Wow I feel so... egotistical posting this, but it was sort of an accident.

I created a thread on my school's forum asking everyone the all important question, "are you a pirate? or a ninja?" And asked everyone to draw themselves as a pirate or a ninja. I just did a sketch initially, and then slapped some color on it for fun. I gaussian blured the crap out of it to make it into an avatar, and then realized that when I did that, it got rid of the sketch lines and made them look like shadows, and if I just painted on top of the blurred colored sketch, I could clean it up and make it look like the sketch was never there.

So..naturally I had to try it. And here it is. n_n;; It worked so well it might actually be my method from now on.. we'll see...

So tis me. Forever pirating. X3
