I'm sharing this now to continue to motivate myself to get better with using the tools I've got for myself. As y'all can see, I've gotten the flat colours of the character done, and am looking into getting the texturing done, which..... is the problem I'm currently experiencing.

I dunno how to apply texture to the colours I've place in GIMP.

So.... enjoy this cel-shaded (MS-Paint) rough look at the character.

The mask was a cool coincidence tho- the original colours I went with were the same as Vivec's guards. I didn't wanna ultimately, so I flipped it around and I really like the idea presented, especially with the halfway exposed/raw metal face mask. Looked interesting, so I left that mistake in and wanna roll with it for a while.
