Artist's Comments

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

aiwa, this is grand! If you keep up this method (which is fab), I suggest sharpening your edges with a small brush.
