Description Why hello all!  I think I've mentioned lately that I've had no laptop for the past four months or so, which, of course, has meant absolutely no art at all from me. >< Today, however, I finally got a new laptop running!  On the downside, a new laptop means a new operating system, and a new operating system means that my old art programs and equipment (scanner) no longer work. That being said, I've been quickly jumping at new strategies to get into the art scene once again!  This picture is the first result of a self-taught crash course with GIMP.  Although I still find the program a little awkward to use, I think (and hope) that it will be suitable for my needs.  I used the program to clean up this picture from a little pen sketch that I'd made in the margins of a notebook at work weeks ago, and had photographed-- the original sketch was about an inch high!

I hope that later works to come from me will look a bit less messy. =3

Huzzah it's Larry! Getting used to a new OS is always annoying, I dread the day where I'll have to do it too. I'd say look for a torrent for Photostudio, but it may not even work properly with Windows 10. I know some SAI users were having issues with it. Well, I do hope we'll see more art from you in the future!

Yes! I really just want my old lame art program back, to be honest.  GIMP technically works, but everything seems to take a lot more steps than it should have to.  Also I need a scanner badly.  If I get this all straightened out, I'd expect more artworks to be forthcoming.

I thought it was a really nice program! There's a chance that you might be able to get it to work on Windows 10, or perhaps you can downgrade. I'm not really sure how it'd work. Torrents are always risky too. Well I hope you get a scanner soon, I've missed seeing your work! I hope all is going well for you!

As a little update, I've gotten a lot better at GIMP over the past few days, AND I got my old scanner to work!  So yep-- I should have more art soon.

A fitting subject for your return! And Larry looks as colourful as ever.

Welcome back, from someone who knows the pain of being away from something you were fairly committed to for a long while...

Atticus-W In reply to SanyaWaffles [2016-05-03 00:12:51 +0000 UTC]

Windows 10, of course.  I'm really not digging the whole "remove the borders from every icon and make them all the same color" thing, but, yeah.  Such is "progress." >>

I used a program called Arcsoft Photostudio ( www.arcsoft.com/photostudio/ ).  Seems to be long dead, now.
