Sup guys ^__^
Everything that needs to be said has been copied from my DA account:

"Work in progress.

The sketch is still quite crude and i will be redoing the eyes. (this was done in about 30 seconds a few weeks ago) Stylistically, this is a departure from my usual habits of trying to make everything uber realistic... I quite like this more laid-back approach in terms of style.

I'm kind of stuck at the moment in deciding how to define the arms for this guy without screwing up the pattern. This is my first time experimenting with anything digital, and with anything involving complex patterns... Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Also, Gimp friggin' sucks. Using this program makes me want to gouge my eyes out with my bare hands and whip them at the apes who coded this junk."

EDIT: Looking at this again, his shoulders are lopsided... bah

Hmmm...
Did you save over the original of the picture, or did you save this as a copy?

If you still have the original, I'd try drawing the arms in Gimp and worry about the pattern later.
If you don't then if you still have the paper version of the art, I'd draw it there, and rescan it.

Yeah, this is just a copy of the scan that I edited in Gimp. I'll try what you are suggesting tomorrow with regular lines and perhaps with vectors, although I'm not clear on how to properly create paths.

Thanks for your time
