Here’s something I did back in 2005, but I still like it for the most part. Back then I was using Open Canvas instead of Gimp, and a little Photoshop on the side. These days I only use Gimp.

Proud areas for me are the hands and the contact between the generalized hand and the boot, the twist of the torso, and the paint application. Unfortunate areas include the collar and what it does to the attachment between torso and head, and also the aggressive highlight on that dumb ear. I wish I hadn’t done it like that.

The palette is neat to me; it’s a strange combination of my usually separate rustic, earthy hues and my florescent 90s go go boy colors.
