I wouldn't make graphics if I couldn't use Photoshop. xD Nice work, I'm just thinking the "Fearless" text on the avatar is a little hard to read, though.

I agree about the text, but the downside of working on GIMP, is that text editing (which I'm notorious for due to Member of the Year.) is next to impossible to do. It's tedious and time consuming. So I went with something basic just to get rid of my silly face as my avatar. I'll probably work on something to match my new banner.

Ah well, best of luck you're able to get Photoshop again soon! xD

Thank you, and I dunno how to go about getting photoshop without paying $10 a month. I know $10 a month isn't a lot of money, but I have enough things taking money out of my account on a monthly basis. I'm sure I'll figure something out without doing anything illegal.

Awesome stuff fam *badumtiss*

And yea, i hate gimp. Which is why i stick to pixlr express. Pixlr does have Advanced mode akin to Photoshop and Gimp, but i stick to the slicker interface.

Hope you get photoshop back soon tho fam.

As if that's any surprise. Something's kept us friends this long.

Hahahahaha. I told you. GIMP doesn't have a quality issue if you're willing to put in the time to make it happen.

It's not as unique as you might think, though. I derive a lot of my style from Tombi. Cait was the one who got me into graphics, as well as taught me how to do a lot of it. She's always been stupid talented as far as art and creativity. That's why her cosplays look stupid amazing. So, it's because of her that my banners really look the way they do. It also helps to find some high quality images, or else these banners would look like poopy. So a lot of credit goes to those artists.

Here's a Mimikyu: (Something that doesn't have my name plastered on it!)
