PhotoMaster and Rod wanted to see a redhead with green eyes. Here you are! :hehe

Again all inking and coloring Gimp. Also, not very advanced, this was quick one.

Any thoughts?

Red hair and Green eyes are my favorite combo too (must be the Dutch blood running through my veins; lol). Reminds me of Christmas. Link below proving my statement (three years ago; I made another statement similar around 7 years ago, but couldn't find that one). lol

I know; ImageShack eventually loses my work. I tolerate it since that's life. Price to pay for being a free service. Heck, they recently hosed an image that I just posted today for whatever reason. I retouch for fun. Anything more serious then I host it myself (very rare that I do this). Some folk mention if I have a website or not and I say no. I'm just an amateur having fun and helping those when I can at that time. When I'm gone, then whatever I've done on the web will eventually succomb to bit rot.

I've gotten monetary offers for some of my images, but I can't accept any of them. Worker's comp doesn't allow me to make so much as a penny. I guess my stuff is already suffering scourge of bit rot! :cry

Nicely done Kim!

You do excellent work, and like O said very quickly!

For some reason though the red hair looks brown to me.
Could be my monitor though.

It does lack some fire Rod. Like Auburn red by the way.

@Oregonian: That speed is in this style. I will do a different style work in Gimp in near future, but then I'll have to work several nights on one image.

@PhotoMaster: I know what you feel, I was unemployed for some time, couldn't earn a cent without losing benefits. The situation here (Finland) is quite catastrophic economically, so I really hope this will not happen to me again.

@Rod, lylejk: I thought the same about this redhead. Hair color and a bit of pose was robbed from a picture of a friend. I guess the lighting makes redhead a brunette... But that friend is a real redhead.

Due to injuries, I am in my situation for the rest of my life.

I'm sorry to hear that. Life's very unfair.

On the bright side, you have your talent and cool toys... :bigthup
