These are the first two pictures that I properly finished with Krita. The first is another person's character, the second is a fanart to a series I'm reading. I did the second one first.

(all characters are (c) Currygom) (first drawing I properly finished in Krita, it allowed me to get the hang of things)

Since the characters don't belong to me, I won't place the drawings under an open license. If I ever draw anything original though, I'll place it under CC license. At this point I think I'm slowly starting to get used to Krita. I've noticed a distinct lack of tutorials for Krita on Deviantart, so after I draw a few more I may try to make a tutorial (more tips welcome ).

By the way, Krita's .jpg export option seems to be faulty in both the Linux and Windows version: the output tends to be a lot of noise. Is this a known bug, or should I submit a bug report?

Hi! Nice images . I'm not aware of problems with the krita jpg output -- after all, we're not doing anything special there, we're just using the standard jpg library.

Strange, you'd think that it'd be a big bug already. I did a quick test on Windows, version 2.6 pre-alpha, KDE Development Platform 4.8.1.:
1. Create new custom file (default settings)
2. Scribble around
3. Export as .jpg

The scribble: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/9dr4t
The output: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/ztzui
(also, the file got named .jpe instead of .jpg)

If I try to open it in Gimp, Gimp will display it correctly, but before that it will say that the image has "an embedded color profile: sRGB built-in", and asks me if I want to convert it into RGB workspace. Could it be that the embedded profile causes the output to not be displayed correctly in some image viewers? (any way to just use "normal RGB" by the way, whatever that means?)

The .jpe file extension is because somehow the system associates .jpeg as the extension for jpg files, which doesn't work on Windows. If gimp can open the jpg file correctly, then I think that the file actually is correct. I'll do some tests of my own on Windows, though.

Alright, thanks! It'd be a bit awkward if Windows users can't export correctly.
