Ever since Mab summoned a present with the magic words "Snootch to the Nootch" ye old brain imediately tried to devise a way to bring Mab and Dan to Leonardo, New Jersey. After watching the cartoon a bit, decided to give it a shot. Went for the View Askew style as somewhat of a backlash against all the anime styles that seem to pop up EVERYWHERE! (I mean, jeez, there was cartoons before Japan ripped off of Disney, you know.)

Now, sadly, I don't have photoshop, and I tried downloading GIMP but the download page looks like a bunch of random files and no setup execute, so I'm going to slowly colour and clean this up in MS Paint, which is kinda hard. Anyhoo... going to make Silent Dan's coat colours the same as his robe, and work on Mab's purple get up.
So, what do you all think?
Hehe! Somehow Dan reminds me of when he was a hitman. :P
I'm not familiar with GIMP but I'm sure there are lots of people that could help you.
And here I thought I was the only one who made the mental connection. Even though that would mean that Mab's secretly got a very bad swearing problem ;)
About GIMP: Just head to http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html and grab the "The GIMP for Windows (version 2.2.12)" file and the "GTK+ 2 Runtime Environment" for the system you're using. Should be pretty straightforward from there :)
As for installing Gimp (in Windows I presume, since in pretty much every other system you say something akin to "GIVE IT HERE!" and it gets installed automatically).
First you click on this link to download the runtime library (don't just save the link, it's a list of sites to obtain it from):
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-win/gtk+-2.8.18-setup-1.zip?download
..then you unzip it, and run it (why they put it in a zip file, I don't know)
Then you do the same thing with the GIMP itself:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-win/gimp-2.2.12-i586-setup.zip?download
..just unzip it, and run it. It will ask you a bunch of questions, but I think you can just go with the default settings in most cases.
One of our CGFX teachers did something highly illegal this year, by giving us (comp gfx students) free copies of Photoshop CS2 for home use. Oops! (She even put a bloody keygen in it)

Haha.
Pwn.
Art goes in the Tower of Art, DMFA related or no.
our teacher gave us a trial version of the software that expired after 90 days... and then I went out and bought elements as it was the most I could afford.
:nod Elements is good. It has most of the power of Photoshop (plus a couple of tools Photoshop doesn't have), at a fraction of the price.
I first found it in a trial version, on a magazine cover CD.
I liked it so much that I (eventually) bought a copy.
After I bought a new computer, I upgraded to the latest version (4.0).
I doubt Photoshop doesn't have it. I think you just have to know where to find it.
Wow, art's so bad everyone's trying to keep quet about it, hehe.
i like it =3 clean it up a bit more and i'll probably like it more!!
Well, since you're talking about the Gimp, I'ld almost want to say "Don't try it...Or only at your own risks...".
See, I've almost NEVER had any problem or bug with my laptop, with any program or game. The very worst I had was the processor getting to hot sometimes, that's all...And I downloaded The Gimp yesterday, with all the special packs. I installed it, launched it, it crashed. I installed it again, it worked, but it didn't find the special brushes which are coming with my art tablet (and an art tablet without those brushes is almost useless...). I closed the Gimp, and it made my laptop crash. I ran it again and uninstalled the program of my art tablet to see if it would work with the Gimp once I'll install it again. Well, to make things shorts, the program didn't want to work AT ALL once it was installed. And when I uninstalled it and try to install it again, the setup itself starting crashing at the middle of the installation without any reason at all. Guys, I really freaked out yesterday. Finally I took some pilot for my art tablet on the Internet, and after a lot of pain and reboots, the art tablet started working again, finally, with all the brushes working on photoshop. No needs to explain that I uninstalled the Gimp and its packs yesterday...And while I was on the Internet, windows downloaded 11 patches for windows and installed it! When I turned on the laptop yesterday, it took more than one hour to launch because it wanted to check all the files on all the discs! At least, it's not broken, but now I have, without any reason at all, a stupid error message everytime I launch windows, while everything was working perfectly until yesterday morning.
Blargh, thank you The Gimp! ><
So you're warned : try it at your own risks...I only hope that (bad) chances of life just made it bug in my computer, and only mine, and that the program will work perfectly fine in any other computer.

I've had more problems with Windows itself than with Gimp. I use fine it at work, and that machine is really weird..
If you have photoshop, you shouldn't be using Gimp.
If you don't have a valid install of photoshop, what's it doing on your machine?
And having photoshop and gimp at the same time is likely to cause you grief...
I just wanted to give it a try, that's all, mostly because I have an old version of photoshop. And seeing the result with The Gimp, perhaps photoshop is old, but at least it works well : I keep it! XD
