So yesterday I got a new image program called
The GIMP (go download it - it's free). I messed around with it a little bit last night, but today I really got into it. So far, it's a little complicated to get used to, after using mostly Paint for so many years. Now that I'm getting the hang of it though (not to mention the handy user's guide I found with Google), it's actually pretty nifty.
The sad thing is, my only reason for wanting a new image program was to make my new icon, for which I've had the idea floating around in my head for a few weeks. It did come out just like I wanted though.
