MyPaint-Tan

 


Anthropomorphization of the free and open source drawing program, MyPaint.

I've been using MyPaint a lot for creating sketches and lineart in the past couple of years. And since switching to Linux Mint a few months ago, I've been making an active effort to create art using only open source software. For the past weeks, I've been working mostly with MyPaint and GIMP, as well as taking a look at what Krita and G'Mic can do. It's taken a while to get used to new tools and programs (which partly explains why I slowed down with deviation submissions recently), but I'm growing accustomed to working with them and it's amazing how much work can be done with free and open-source software!

And I know I'm not the first one to do this, having seen a couple of other MyPaint-Tan character designs by different artists. Just wanted to try coming up with a design of my own as well.
