I just finished a new piece.

This is a character I designed based off of photoshop- my contribution to the OS-tan meme.

I decided to portray PS-tan as a mercenary sort of character because of how expensive the software is and how efficient it is. You gotta give ‘em credit- there is a lot of fantastic open source design software out there, but nothing yet has come to match the speed, power and usability of Photoshop. That’s why Adobe can charge such a high price for their product. It is among the best design apps on the market, if not the best. After all, the intent of the software is for photo manipulation- yet look at how many people use it for everything except photos. Since it’s such a versatile program with a multitude of useful features, I decided it should be portrayed as a versatile, well equipped assassin, fearlessly striking down the competition.

And that’s my little nugget of fun. This was a monster because it’s more like 3 pieces in one. The left and middle piece were inked line art colored in Photoshop. The right piece and the bust were pencil sketches painted with wet edge brushes in Photoshop.

Later on I’ll post a larger version. I may post a couple of source files as well.
