An Awesome Showcase! [XaiakuX Various Arts]

[XaiakuX]

I've tried using GIMP myself and honestly. I couldn't get used to it as I did when I used Photoshop. GIMP is a little....different. Though I still think it came out really well in the end. Hopefully you can get back with Photoshop soon enough.

Sucks you're stuck with GIMP, but that still looks decent, dark, and gritty.

I kind of shudder to think how my stuff would be affected if I was stuck with GIMP. I haven't ever used it before, but I think it would really affect the quality of stuff I crank out. :\

Well, the thing that I found about GIMP, is that it doesn't effect the quality if you place in the effort it takes to make it look good. GIMP takes more work than Photoshop to really make a piece look good. This banner/avatar really only took me about an hour. I just wanted something different than what I was rocking in my avatar/signature.

Thanks for the compliments, though. Good to know I can go so long without doing anything artistic and pick it right back up. I don't know how frequently I'll be cranking out banners and graphics. Or even drawing or writing, but being back on this forum, it's likely to happen sooner than later.
