I'm a relative newcomer to the world of Photoshop. For starters, I've never had much of any artistic merit, and thus have never dabbled with the program for lack of purpose. However, I recently decided to have a go at it, even if just to see if I could amuse myself for a bit. This is a product of such, from November 23, 2008, actually... So relatively early, since I started using the program early that month, I believe?

Regardless, just playing around with some colours and appearances, etc. It's simple, I know... But I like to think that simplicity can be equally meaningful to the right eye. ^^ All of the brushes used here were downloaded from dA, though I don't have the original files on-paw, so I can't recall who did them. If I can find out, however, I'll post proper credits here, as they all did a lovely job with them.

I think this is best when full-viewed, though I suppose that's up to you, the viewer, in the end.
