very good first Marsey :marseyclapping:

I'd consider adding a white border around it to match most other Marseys and makes it pop out on dark backgrounds

Agreed its a great marse. I've been using the stroke selection w/gimp (on an underlying layer) once I have the outline +feathering +del background to get the right thickness, but sometimes it still yields choppy results, dyk if there a better way to round everything off? (I know it often doesn't matter though when it's scaled to 200px across but still lol)

A "trick" I like to use when making Marsey edits is cutting out part of the prop and then add that part on a new layer above/in-front of the Marsey. This way I can make it look like Marsey is wearing something, or make it look like she is behind something in a way that makes sense.

Consider cutting out part of the front rim of the hat and add it back on top of Marsey's head so that it looks like she is wearing the hat and not standing in-front of it. Hope this advice made sense.

Having the ears poke through the hat is a relatively easy way of getting that effect too.

PPT? As in PowerPoint? How

yeah. its actually really easy to copy things from paint to ppt and then use all the rotation, layers, scaling, shadow, etc features in ppt. but it's easier to draw and crop and color and stuff in paint. you don't even need to save intermediate steps, just select whatever and copy back and forth

This neighbor has never done ghetto image editing in powerpoint.

It's actually pretty convenient for super simple stuff because stuff you add in PPT is vector based and if you're familiar with any MS Office interfaces, then your tools are all in the same place. I did that a lot as a student when I needed to just make some quick presentation slides because I could usually get it done faster than GIMP would open.

But I'm going to need assurance in this form: ground your son. Don't ever let him use rdrama.net again. Take his phone. Rdrama.net is super toxic because it's about enjoying and creating internet drama. For your kids sake don't let him use it

I make all my diagrams in PowerPoint because I've never put the effort into learning Visio. I convert it to pdf and nones the wiser.
