A Little Sketchy — Description
Yesterday I spotted this [link] in the Daily Deviations section and thought 'Wow! You mean I wouldn't have to take five hours to digitally ink my pencil work, just to have the inking look blurry and crappy anyway? Sounds good to me!' So I dug out two of my recent pencil sketches (even though I'd drawn them less than a week ago, I'd somehow already managed to lose 'em), and set out to follow this awesome tutorial.

To my dismay, a few steps into the tutorial, it dawned on me that, oh yeah, I no longer have Photoshop, I'm using GIMP. No wonder I'm not finding these options. Shit. Well, there goes that idea.

But the basic concept stuck with me, and after awhile of fiddling around in GIMP, I finally came up with... this. Yeah, it's a lot less work this way, but it shows, too. My pencil sketches just aren't clean or even enough to be line art. But it's still good to try new techniques once in awhile, I suppose.

One more thing. I'm aware my gallery is still overflowing with Quackerjack and/or Megavolt (mostly Megavolt) stuff. I'd like to say I'm working on fixing this, but I'm not. I guess it's not healthy to lie to myself. I love Bushroot and Liquidator. They're still my first OTP in the series. And yes, I still fangirl badly over Liquidator, and over Bushroot's adorable spinach tail. But when it comes to inspiration for those two, I find I have none. I bother saying all of this because I feel badly about it . Bushy and Liqui don't get enough attention as it is, and the fandom is already in abundance with Quackerjack and/or Megavolt stuff. But unfortunately I can't control where my inspiration comes from, no matter how much I wish I could, so Bushy and Liqui are, for now, on the back burner on my end. Sorry folks
