This is why I shouldn't be allowed access to graphics programmes...

I've got me a new graphics programme (well, a newer version of my old one, which hated Windows 8 and expressed this in its refusal to do anything), and I've been messing about with different tutorials. So, I have a couple of weird things I've accomplished, which I'm quite pleased with.

The first is a manip of Sherlock and Tzophiya from my daemons' verse:



I put a watercolour/sketch effect to it, because it helps hide the seams a little. The Grey Lourie pic is from here. Tzo should probably be a bit more grey, but she went a little funny in the processing.

The other thing I did was a Holmes family crest, which was inspired, as most things are, by a chat with joonscribble. We were joking about the motto of the Holmes family crest being 'for science!', and that made me want to actually decide what it might be like, as I'm a bit of a heraldry geek. Here is my interpretation:



( Nattering about the meaning behind my design. )

And that's all for my random art projects for today. I did so a manip of John and Subira, but I'm not happy with it, so I'm going to give it another go. For science.
