That artwork has come together nicely. I wish I could draw like that. I can do technical drawing but not artistic stuff.
I like the Bitcoin gyroscope (or whatever it is) above the whiteboard. Is that a pencil or cigarette in her mouth?
A....USB drive! And the whiteboard is actually a monitor. Maybe I should put some stuff in there...

I speeeeeend way too much time on this project. Anyway, here's what I done. 1. I run everything through the ink pen, which make everything a bit more clear and sharp. Then, I turn up on the brightness and contrast to clean out the grey lines. Not everything is rendered painstakely, but that can easily be arranged when I get around to color and then further cleanup. 2. I finally figured out the multiply mode of the layer. Started coloring the hair with the base color. 3. I redrew the left eyes, digitally. These eyes are now 100% more awesome than the sketch version. Here's the download... http://www.bitcoinservice.co.uk/files/18 Price: 0.10 BTC.

Thank you for the continued baconage. All that bacons are really nice.
I raised 1.4(0.10 which was by me....since I can't download my own artwork for free).
That mean, I get to take home 1.26 BTC, while bencoder have the rest. That mean, I made .20 USD this week at the current exchange value.

http://www.bitcoinservice.co.uk/files/21 Price: 0.10 BTC. WE HAVE PREVIEW! Thanks bencoder for adding this feature. So, what the latest revision so far? Base coloring for hair is DONE. Cleaning the hair of remaining stray lines is DONE. Next I believed is 3 layers of shading. I am using this tutorial as a guide, even though I used GIMP.

http://pastecoin.com/download.php?file=16 Price: 0.102 I jumped again to another download host, looking for the best deal. This time, it's forum user genjix! I have two things to complain though: 1. WHERE IS THE PREVIEW IMAGE THAT I ASK FOR? 2. 2%? You dare add them to my price? That's unexpected behavior. As for what I am doing to the art in this iteration: I am redrawing the lines to be crispy clear with a GIMP tool called Path. It is a very POWERFUL tool. Heck, I might as well draw digitally instead of scanning in artworks. Now, at the same time, I am also shading. I finally figured out how to do that by manipulating the opacity. Combined with path, they're a piece of cake. I didn't know all these thing before I started drawing for bitcoin. For those who download...Thanks for the continued baconage!

I really recommend you learn how to use Illustrator, it is a wonderful program. Much more powerful than the GIMP path tool. Even so, if you want to continue using FOSS, try inkscape.

One off NP-Hard.

I am a linux user and I don't use expensive photo editing tool. Beside, GIMP is good enough for me.

Coloring process = digital touchup then actual coloring. If you download the latest artwork, you would already know that yes, of course, I do touchup.

http://www.bitcoinservice.co.uk/files/53 0.10 BTC Decided to switch back to bitcoinservice.co.uk because they have preview displayed. So what I did in this artwork? More shading and more redrawing the lines. It's rather slow work sometime.

The Bitcoin logo on top of the monitor now looks like the Ritcoin logo.
