So, as some of you may have heard, there's this new raster graphics editor on the scene, called Krita. Well, it's not exactly new, since the first version came out 9 years ago. But it's only recently that it's gained some popularity.
I thought I'd give it a try, and got it for myself. Messed around with all the cool brushes, then wondered what I could draw in it. Figured I could draw Flare as an initiation. Then I thought it well to make the drawing relevant, and added the silly dialogue. Started out as a simple sketch, but sometimes I just get carried away, y'know.
(The lil Lurigo there in the corner was a last minute addition)

Anywho, I absolutely love Krita! It's kinda what you'd get if you were to mix Photoshop and SAI. Best of all, it's free! Should be using it more often in the future.

There's currently a Kickstarter for version 2.9. It's for funding the development of additional features. Head on over there, throw an euro or five at them, really excellent piece of software they've created.
