More art that I've been doing lately. Still nowhere with my fic-writing mojo, although I signed up for a team at
mating_games which means at least a 500-word thing every week \o/ buuuut that's about it, oops.
Ummm ArtRage has been great, but in terms of coloring I've been finding Photoshop easier to work with. I do love the way the oils work on ArtRage, but I'm not quite getting the hang of manipulating those. And I've always preferred to work with watercolors (like, you know, back when I was taking 6th grade art classes, lol) and the adjustment to digital is just kind of iffy for me.

( Viking Warrior )
And then yesterday I learned how to make vectors!
Well, not quite. Because you really kind of need Adobe Illustrator for that, and I just don't need it enough to justify a purchase. BUT there were a few Photoshop tutorials for how to make vector-like images, so I went and got my favorite image of Daenerys Targaryen from this season and did this:

Just simultaneously made me laugh and cry. I haven't gone past maybe 15% of the third book, so a lot of the specifics of S3 I don't really know yet, but I've basically been spoiled for all the major events so I'm well aware of the fates of most characters thus far.
( Spoilery talk, so cutting off here )
