I am anal about pictures. I am ESPECIALLY anal about pictures I use for avatars. If there is something wrong... the person looks to old.. they have horribly styled clothes... or just dont look right... then I wont use it.
Something else that bothers me is other people in the background... I dont want to see seven people, when the only person I am interested in is the one! And that brings me to my latest triumph! Using only paint... I have turned this picture:

Into THIS picture!

Now knowing what I do about some of the stuff people get up to, I know this isnt a big triumph... I just felt like I should share... because its the first time I have ever managed to pull something off like this XD
And finally, if anyone out there wants an annoying piece of picture painted over to let the rest shine through... let me know! And I'll share my technique >_>
