Looks a bit like a kobold, imo

[Shook]

Goatbold perhaps?

:v

I dig it, eyes are quite bulging though. I suppose that's where the alien part comes in.

also comrade shook is giddy because he has completed a SECOND COMMISSION WOO

You can get commissioned to do those? O___O
^{I wanna try doing a commission!}
Awesome bird!

[WillowLuman]

There any good places to advertise for commissions, aside from setting up a personal site or using DeviantART?

[Talvieno]

I've had a dA account for three years. It doesn't seem a very good place to get noticed.

[WillowLuman]

It's pretty easy to find commission work if you're willing to draw other people's characters (and can do it at least marginally better than the people who created those characters). But, from observing my dA friends, therein lies the path to the dark side.

[Bauglir]

Tumblr maybe?

[Talvieno]

Define "the dark side"...

[WillowLuman]

Migrating to other, more sordid gallery sites and doing the artistic equivalent of giving out $5 blowjobs.

Or, falling not quite as far, filling your gallery with other people's ill-conceived character designs.

Was fiddling around with a neat desktop background of Hatsune Miku in gimp. First I found out that the invert looks hella cool.

Then I tried layering and erasing so that the original colored Miku shows up under the inverted colors. Made for a neat effect.

so yeah.

[GiglameshDespair]

I feel like the hair part that's still inverted needs to be re-colourised, as well, but other than that it's pretty cool.

Or maybe even leaving part of the face and eyeball inverted. Is possible to fade into? Though, I suppose that'd leave a nice chunk of gray in there

Something like this?

Basic strategy here was, draw a path to delineate what I don't want inverted (this was the most time-consuming bit), Select From Path and copy that to a new layer. Then, duplicate that new layer. Invert the background, then on the lower duplicate, Stroke Path with the Smudge tool, with Emulate Brush Dynamics checked, an Acrylic brush I downloaded from who knows where, Jitter set to a largish value, and the brush itself made fairly large. Then blur, then Stroke again. Then select from path and use one of the other select tools, set to Intersection, to select only the eyes - hit delete to clear up the blurriness there. Then go up to the top layer, and Stroke Path, again with the Smudge tool, but with a smaller, simple round brush. I took a few screenshots, if they'd be helpful for anybody.

Stupid art trick: Smudge tools, when Jitter is enabled, act as a really effective spot blur.

Bauglir, you are a god. Saving that to my hard drive.

I toyed around with the pathing tool in gimp, but couldn't figure out what it was used for.
