My Ergonomics Poster !! :)
 Arrgggh me hearty! LOL

Also, here's a pic im working on :S

It started out as a sketch but i wanted to color it in photoshop, but i left my scanner at home D:
So i took a pic with my camera, urrggggh the quality is so bad and looked horrible with colors. So, since im too lazy to re draw it in photoshop, i wanted to try and color it black&white, because i suck at colors and i don't think I've ever done a B&W pic before. So far i think it looks good, even tho if you zoom in, you can see how bad the lines are haha
