Description
Eh, it's been at least a couple of weeks since I last submitted something. Just been busy at work lately, and most of my free time has also been spent catching up on my gaming backlog (too many RPGs to finish)! Rest assured, I always have something in the works!Anyway, this is what it looks like when I work with MyPaint 1.0. It's an open source program which I use to create rough sketches and digital lineart. Superb customizable brushes and the ability to freely rotate and flip a full-screen canvas is what really makes this a handy tool! I'm still relying on PS and Flash for colors and vector art, respectively. But I'd also like to learn how to go completely open source with GIMP and Inkscape.
As for the pic itself, it's Sweetie Bot with Cyberia Heart, something that I would've drawn sooner had I known they'd be this adorable together! I have several half-finished deviations like this right now. Hopefully, I'll get around to finishing them one-by-one.
====================
Edit: All finished!

Beautiful lines. Where'd you get those Custom Brushes?

Most of the brushes here were from the included Deevad brush set, grouped together since they're the ones I use most often.
However, the first three brushes (with the eye) are personalized ones based on the Deevad 2B Pencil brush. I just changed the settings to simulate how a mechanical pencil draws in different lead sizes, and also created custom icons for the three.

Oh, I see. Thank you for answering my question. Are you ever going to upload them to share for others to download those 3 brushes?

I haven't tried to export/import brushes very often with MyPaint, so I don't know what files to include and how they should be compiled if I were to share the pencil brushes.
But basically, under the Deevad brushes (Set #2 by default) I picked the "deevad/2B" pencil and just made presets, changing only the radius as follows:
-0.35 = 0.3 Pencil
0.05 = 0.5 Pencil
0.35 = 0.7 Pencil

Thanks!
Turns out that there's a few details that need fixing, but I'll make some edits and get these two ready for coloring.

It's already adorable, and I'm looking forward to seeing what it'll look like when it's finished.

Thanks. I actually have something else in line to be uploaded before the weekend, but I'll get right back to this afterwards.
