I come bearing gifts

Sup forums. I've been away for a bit because I couldn't come up with $15 for my internet bill. It was like, $200 a month, I paid $385 last month, and usually they'll accept "I'll give you $100 in a week, just keep the internet and phone on until then", but this time they weren't feeling generous.

So I had to keep myself arou-amused in other ways. I played through every Wii game I owned (which is like, what, 7 games). I then watched Disney movies, bathed my cat, and became the Nerevarine for the 4 billionth time.

SO ANYWAYS you may be wondering "Why the hell is this in the graphic subforum?". Good question.

My PC was gathering dust in the corner, so I needed to get on and do something. So I started playing in Paint/Paint.NET and finishing projects I never planned on looking at a second time.

I had fun playing with graphics. I enjoyed doing the outlines, found the shading entertaining by experimenting with different hues and values, and working in x6 and zooming out when I felt I was finished, only to laugh at new found images that appeared phallic (speaking of zooming, when you first open MSPaint and select the magnifying glass, then click the image, you get a different zoom value that you can't get by clicking the options. I found that, and the "hidden" option under x8 to be a buried treasure of sorts).

So here's what I did over my brief "vacation". Bear in mind I'm no graphic artist. Yes, this stuff sucks, but I had fun doing it and screw you, my amusement is all the matters.

Also, for some of the images, I couldn't perfect things (read: got lazy) on the character, so I just ripped it from the Graal body who's filename I cannot remember right now. Just pointing that out so someone doesn't inevitably notice the similarity and be like "WTFSTEALER".

Not asking for suggestions or anything, just want to share my good time and show you beautiful people what I've been up to without your bright shining faces and kind words.

I started coloring parts of the skirt and noticed something I hadn't seen in the line art drawing.
