I typically work on images with 2000 or more pixels in width and then shrink them down. As I was writing a recent GIMP tutorial [link] encouraging others to do the same I had the sudden curiosity about what my results would be if I didn't. So I gave myself a 600 pixel wide canvas just to see what would happen.

I feel like I need a lot of regular practice to improve my painting skills but I don't feel I have a ton of time or attention to dedicate to it. So even though I have been getting unsatisfying results I have decided to keep going and I have made a regular practice of doing these micro paintings which are about 320 to 350 pixels in width when completed. Here are my first four. Hopefully I will begin to improve eventually.

My favorite is the dude in the upper right; it's imaginative and the lines are a little sharper than in the other pics. I also like the blue-greenness and the lighting...he really looks like he's underwater. Ol' Bedpost over there...he's just a little too blurry...I keep squinting at him. Anyway, and the word that comes to mind when I see upper-right is "dogfish". But that's too obvious. So dogfish are a thing; they're a type of shark (and a really good beer). What do we know about this shark? It's in the order Squaliform, which is a cool word. But wait, there's more: they're venomous! A venomous shark? Yes! Their dorsal fin is coated with venom. So I propose the name Venomous Squaliform.
