following a sudden bunny trail

[gwendolyngrey]

First finished "thing" from 2011!

Okay, so it's really just a quick, digital painting, but I still had a lot of fun doing it.  I've never actually done any digital painting before (crappy oekaki dreck from when I was 16 does not count) and I wanted to try something new.  I don't have a tablet or even photoshop or gimp so I used the online drawing program on deviantArt and just drew with my mouse.

And let me just say that "painting" on the computer is nothing like painting with a real brush and paints.  It's much more immediate, but also much less responsive... or perhaps that was just my mouse.  If I had all the nice technology I could see myself really getting into digital work, but that day is still quite far off.  Although I think I'd be much happier doing costume renderings this way than with pen and watercolor.  Guess I should probably start saving for photoshop...
