 Messing around with zoom feature in GIMPshop
Program is terrible, crashes left and right!

Edited picture with pencil, ink, smudge tools

Picture is of Lightning in Final Fantasy XIII-2. I like games :)
I play them competitively, for the story and to mess around with different systems (mechanics, not consoles).

All previous screenshots were edited so participants pane and such were removed.
Paint was used, as GIMPshop loves to crash every two seconds.
