More from meglyman
A sketch commission from doctormo on dA promoting Ubuntu Linux and free software. In the spirit of free software, this is copyright Meg Lyman under a CC-by-SA-NC license, which means you can print it, make derivatives from it, do anything you want with it, as long as you post it under the same license and don't profit from it. Refs to my sketch would be nice, too. BIG version available here: http://meglyman.deviantart.com/art/.....hools-74272446
Martin did the most awesome inking job, using the free Inkscape vector program: http://doctormo.deviantart.com/art/.....hools-74008022
Go! Look! It is awesome.
Also, Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/

Free software rocks. I do all my digital art (OK, so there are only like 6 pieces, but still), scanning, and color correction using Linux.

Oh, yah, Inkscape 0.46 has the ability to "paint" any shape thicker or thinner, and moosh it about. Two of the settings for that tool are designed to thicken/thin "lines" (intended to work on shapes that pass within the brush's circle). Plus, it has the paintbucket tool, which is good for filling. The sculpt tool works on as many objects as you'd like selected, so you can grab a bunch of lines and sculpt them all simultaneously or just grab one and tweak it. The "thinning" mode is also useful for trimming lines out of where you don't want them. :3
I know. It blows my mind that Linux developers have done such a good job creating programs that have the functionality you need. It's far from the Microsoft programs' functionality, but enough that I don't need windows at home anymore. That rocks. Lots of people can't make the switch yet.
I would be careful about saying something like open source software (as opposed to Linux the kernel specifically, mind you, which is what I assume you meant) is "far from the Microsoft programs' functionality." It *isn't* far from it (even in some cases surpassing), and that's why a number of people, for what they do, are able to switch. The functionality of third party programs written exclusively for the Microsoft platform, however, is another *coughmonopolyabuse* issue. Excuse me
Yeah, good point - my bad. I specifically meant programs written for Linux that I use regularly, and I really meant 'bells and whistles' rather than 'functionality.' I can do everything I need to, but sometimes I wish program X could do all the cool stuff that Microsoft-written program Y does.
Probably could have worded it better, but I didn't intend it as a complaint or insult, but as praise. It's amazing what those Linux programs can do, but it's even more amazing when you consider that it's all free, open, and friendly.

Linux, yay! Cute arts of meglyman yay! I use Debian myself, and good stuff going to Ubuntu often flows on as good stuff to Debian (and eventually the rest of the FLOSS sphere). I'm a bit concerned of the implication here is that we're importing bugs from MS now, though. Or have I misinterpreted things?
Yay, Debian!
Hmm, that's not the implication at all. Martin changed the speech bubble several times, and I can definitely see how you'd think that - it used to be clearer. The intent was that MS was trying to come in to teach the kids - to brainwash them, and the Linux penguin teacher was protecting them. I'll let him know.
