How could you do that to my country!

Hey! It's my country too!

It's also a sort of sarcastic joke on what could have happened if the "worker class" of Sweden had rebelled like in, for instance, Russia. The words written around the hammer and sickle are of course ironic allusions to the character of the hypocrite ideology that communism - at least in the form we have seen through history - is.

I know it took some time before I could get another drawing out, but with school and all that, I have to radically change priorities.

Very cool

Alright, so I got this Intuos₄ tablet as my birthday gift (August 20), I installed the software, tried it out, and here's my first 'experimental' image:

NOTE: I am absolutely certain that you have noticed the abrupt end of the mountain chain in the background, the reason for this being that I forgot to scroll.

I've got to say that I love using the tablet; finally I can paint and draw decently with colours, use all the practical computer functions that I normally would not be able to utilize while drawing by hand, and, of course, I will not have to scan my images anymore.

Nice for a first experimenting

I eagerly await more from the tablet!

Splendid work but most importantly Grattis!
Hoppas att du får en grym dag.

[abbews]

Amazing
Gratulerar på födelsedagen!

[Aanker]

Jag tackar naturligtvis för gratulationerna!

Either way, I hope that I can make more sophisticated and detailed images in the future. I love working with shades of blue, so expect oceans, distant mountains and skies.

Yet another 'experiment' (not as much work put into this one as the previous):

I like GIMP.

Still WIP, I've got some details to add here and there, but the main surface is completed.

[abbews]

Magnificent.

[Aanker]

Thank you!

I think the head should be smaller, though. Thoughts?

You created all that with GIMP ?

And your first experiment was simply stunning ! +rep man !

[Aanker]

Oh, and I changed my profile picture.

Some work I have done on the N:TW campaign HUD for the TGW mod. A few buttons have been remade, too:

Still using GIMP.

[abbews]

It's almost so I'm thinking of buying you Photoshop, if I could afford it
Great work mate.

[Killerbee]

Awesome work mate !

GIMP ftw

[Aanker]

Haha, thanks guys!

Oh, and abbews, I wouldn't say 'no' to that offer...

On a more serious note, however: the reason I use GIMP 2.0 instead of PS Elements is because, most importantly, GIMP can handle channels, which PSE can't. Also, the way the brushes react to pressure on the Intuos tablet feels more like drawing in GIMP than in PSE.

Try Photoshop CS5, it's the best out there. PSE is a bad version of PS.
