Coffee, when I read that you used inkscape I was pleasantly surprised because I've been playing with that program to work on art for my website .. yay vectors! I wanted to make something that can stretch to fit tablet screens when zooming in without getting pixelated ;)
Anyway... then I found a tutorial on drawing OOTS style chars with inkscape and I've been playing with that, let's just say I had no idea that it took so long to draw these lol (I just figured some people were incredibly adept with their tablets!)
and.. inkscape is such a kickass drawing program. Everyone should try it out lol.
Anyway, I thought I'd share a drawing.. sorry for copying Serrin, she's my favorite character (and then I tried to OOTS-ize myself lol)
