My first pic using layers!!!

Now that may not sound too great in writing, but let me tell you this:
The following picture took me (in total, I did it over a couple of days) about 3 or 4 hours.
There was no base sketch - I did it FROM SCRATCH on the computer.
I don't use a tablet.
I did it all freehand - no curve tools or fancy brushes.
Without a guide, I figured out how to make an image transparent and how to use layers.
I used GIMP version 2.2 (or something like that)

Let me tell you this... it is BLOODY HARD TO DO.

So here is the pic... hope you like it. (sorry about bad quality.)



I was inspired by the Olympic spirit in Club Penguin, Team Red vs. Team Blue. As you can tell, I'm a team Red fan :-D

No,what I'm using is called GIMP. It's free and it's really good, It can come up with amazing results if you know what you're doing.
