Gimp/Inkscape experiment
I had an idea for a project today: to take photographs and composite in highly two dimensional illustrated characters. I'm sure this has been done before (Who Framed Roger Rabbit? etc.), but the image of a Miyazaki-style sea strider popped into my head, almost exactly as I've rendered it here.
I'm not sure about the result. Think I'll have to try a few more and develop the style a bit.
