Averygoodun's Personal File

The GIMP is not behaving. I've been trying to save my progress for a couple of hours now, and no can do. I can and have saved each layer, but can't save it as a whole, even merging the layers.

I'm not sure what to blame, the program or the computer. Probably the computer.

grr, anyway.


Also, rude people suck.


That is all.

Photoshop and I have been making amends today. However, I think I need to get a book and actually learn how to use it properly.

( This took me all day and this is just the background! )

Here's another tinted plant.

Okay, how's this?

( Not what I first envisioned... )

I need to post these so I have them somewhere in case Geoff needs to make more room on this computer for work stuff.

( Photoshopped pics )

Well. I spent longer on that than I intended. Oops.

Geoff and Babe have disappeared. *shrug* I'm sure they'll turn up somewhere at some point.

In my search for them, I got on my bike and rode a bit. Not a very long ride, in fact it was a very, very short ride, but it was good to do. Even if it does prove that I am pathetically, horribly, shamefully out of shape. *shrug* It's my own darn fault.

But having the house to myself leaves me in a quandry. What do I do now? Do I paint? Hmm. That would be a very good thing to do, but I think I might wait until the light is a little dimmer so as to control the lighting of my arrangement a little more.

Write? That's another good idea. Question is, what do I write? There are the meme prompts I owe to maddyriddle and pigwidgeon37, there's the half-written chapter of SMHC, there's the expansion "No Comparison" needs, and then there's the graphic novel I have yet to start. Of course, I really need to figure out the main character's past before I write very far into that one. What was her role in the Apocolypse? Why are They out to get her? What is her motivation in being the Guardian?

Speaking of which, remember this pic I posted a while ago? Well, here's what it's based off of, which is what I'm thinking of using as my cover image for my graphic novel.

( The Guardian )

I think I'll limber up with the prompts first. :-)

It's been a while since I've done anything that's not, um, fandom related, so I thought I'd bring out the GIMP tonight and play around some more. This is the result:

( Untitled, as always )

Reloaded to show edited version. Geoff didn't like the void of the previous version...


And because I'm feeling very medi'ochre' (sorry, I can't help it) at the moment...






*HUGS* TOTAL!
give averygoodun more *HUGS*

Get hugs of your own

Still not done completely, but I think it's working a little better now.

( Dear Heart )

I'm satisfied enough that I've put it up on my deviant page along with a bit of story text.

Next up will probably be a cleaned up version of "The Book." Maybe.
