Taking a break from vector art and He-Man–a self portrait to appease my tremendous ego:<\/div>\n

This started out as kind of a quick random sketch done for the sake of fulfilling my Friday post (hence the self-deprecating word balloon and the super hi-larious t-shirt text). I felt somewhat lukewarm about it, until I stumbled upon the idea of using an abstract color scheme. Now I’m actually pretty happy with it.<\/p>\n

The style of this piece resembles an Oekaki<\/a>, but rather than using a dedicated Oekaki program or interface, I just used the pencil tool in Photoshop to sketch and color this. The simplicity of sketching with the pencil tool is something I’ve been enjoying, and I dig the pixelly pseudo-16-bit look.<\/p>\n

Post Script:<\/b> Perhaps you’ve noticed the advertisement on the sidebar for Skill City<\/i>? Check it out–it’s free and fun, and… what do you know, my dear<\/i> friend and longtime crony Jacob<\/a> designed 90% of the visuals. Seriously, it’s good stuff, and I will gladly play anyone a game of Librum Confundo<\/i><\/a>! My screen name on Skill City is “Ohsnap”–drop by and say hi!<\/p>\n

**EDIT** It was brought to my attention that I should have warned people that Skill City is for Windows only. Sorry!<\/p>\n

**EDIT#2** For whatever stupid reason, I had comments on this post turned off. I am an idiot. Comment away, if you so desire. Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience!<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
