Cold cold war warriorsteemCreated with Sketch.

Another good for nothing procrastination drawing. I have been talking on the phone all morning. I hate talking in the phone. So I made this drawing of a Swedish dragoon talking into an old fashioned phone.

Made with Krita of course.

"I'm still unconvinced your cat being stuck in a tree is an army matter, Mrs. Johnson."

"I have with great certainty come to the conclusion that Mrs. Jönsson is a communist collaborator! The other day she said she felt sorry for the Vietnamese! Do you believe I have been eating her pepper cookies!"

I love it! Given that 90% of phone calls now involve unsolicited sales pitches, I think the expression is perfect.

Do you do all your graphic arts with open source tools? Photoshop is the last thing tying me to Windows and I'm dying to ditch it. But Gimp is just not there yet.

I only use open source software, but I agree that GIMP is very far from Photoshop in quality and the development is very slow. As I mostly make graphics and art for the screen I have been able to use Inkscape and Krita, both of them much better tools than Gimp (and that name never was the same after Pulp Fiction). I do use Gimp for simple operations and batch operations. Crop, resize, colour correction etc. but most of the tools in Krita are better and more intuitive. The transformation tolls for example.

When it comes to repro you won't be able to do anything useful in open-source. Adobe and Pantone have a de facto monopoly through its patented colour technologies. So I have to see the colour corrections on adobe software before printing anything that is not greyscale.

Hehehe I like this one. The expression of dislike is clearly palpable looking at this character. I like that you used purple to paint the skin as well because he's a cold cold war warrior.

Sweden is a cold place!

The drawing really looks like an officer during the cold war era making phone call. Your drawing looks nice and creative as well thumbs up @katharsisdrill

picture expressions show things that are not good at receiving telephone news

Probably a Soviet submarine close to his summerhouse.
