Description This is my submission for the coloring contest here [link]

I used GIMP for the coloring, but I'm not very good at it. My daughter, who has autism, tried helping me by doing some of the coloring. I was able to clean up a lot of her "help" but kept some of it too. I refused to keep the massive amounts of green peppers she wanted for the background though. There may be a partial one hiding, though...

I know my style is nothing like the other submissions, but I'm really a traditional artist at heart and so I colored this as I would have if I were coloring with real paints.

Hey, this looks good.
But..How do you color things in GIMP?
When i take lineart into the top layer, It's not transparent D:
Please please tell me the secret. ;-;

Thanks!

There is no secret. The entire background and everything was done by pixel by pixel (and with a mouse too), because I couldn't figure it out either. Boo to GIMP!

THAT SUCKS.
Yeah, nobody can figure it out for some reason, i don't think you can in general, what a suck-ass version of a lame-excuse for an art program, eh? XD
Unless you plan on doing, you know, an entire thing just in that.

I think i like MSpaint better though.
