Lots of fun stuff with backgrounds here, been practicing them trying to get them to not be terrible. Been skipping lines entirely for them and just painting and it seems to have been turning out OK, but still got a long way to go. Think this one turned out alright all things considered. Finished this over around 2 days after telling myself I would do it on time, but then work happened and you know how it goes. Due date do date.
If you are interested, here is the GIMP 2 source file.
