Chaps are leather over pants, usually without a crotch area for movement, that protect the legs from rubbing and help hold onto the saddle or animal better.
here's a reference I was going to use. LINK
You have a classic Cowboy look. like they used on the tv or in movies.
Here's some pictures of modern rodeo cowboys. Link

ooo, those are chaps... I laughed at the mention of leaving the xxx part out. XD
Yep old classic wild wild west tv.
You have to do better hat and vest!
I have faith in you!

In some kinky corners of the world people use shiny leather assless chaps in some uh, interesting ways. XD
Depending on how this striped shirt works I might have to try a plaid or check board shirt.

assless... XD cometbird redline that word.
Interesting ways? wooo.... now I am curious~

Oh don't ask me Xuv I have only heard of these interesting uses. I do not know of them myself. Although I suppose a google search would give you a good idea of what those might be. XD

nuu... I am too afraid of the transparency and mightyness of google search. DX It has no sensor or whatsoever that would prevent me from seeing things I don't like to. DX
Which is why I prefer to ask in a restricted age website.
People will have to try hinting it without being too explicit. XD

Well... uh they are pants with nothing covering the naughty bits. sooo... yeah.

Precies and straight to the point!
See? That save me from having nasty surprises!

And I didn't have to say much at all!! I'm working on that striped shirt some more. now. Doing the recolor still. :I

Oooh, I bet you looked awesome.

ooo... Me can't wait to see~

Stupid vertical stripes... Rrrgh...

Just curve it a bit~

One stripe down.

hehe. you can see in my layers the hotpink background I work with. XD

hmm... why is your background hotpink though?

The checker board pattern of the alpha layer starts to hurt my eyes after a while. and the blue and green seem to show well on hot pink. I think I said before how I change that background color fairly often. I might turn it to a taupe soon. :3

lol. I was going to comment since when GIMP come with hotpink background automatically... XD luckily I didn't mention that to make myself a joke.
Yep, you mentioned.
hmm... I do enjoy the checkerboard pattern. But if I ever put background, it is either white or black and seldom different shades of grey. No other hues, just monochrome/grayscale.

I tend to miss things on white backgrounds. It's just not a color that is kind to my eyes.

Got all the stripes on. that took a lot longer than I thought. Even with Kawaii's technique. :I

Chaps! It's taking a while but I'm getting there.

hmm... the stripes look kinda... untidy...
I prefer the random two stripes style you had previously instead of making it all stripes. Feels like jail uniform.

The chap seemed to be going on well.

I had a computer update which crashed everything. So I'm gonna have to use the screen shots to remake these :X
\
But thank you. I'm not really liking the striped shirt so much. The chaps are almost done, they did look nice with the boots when I layered them. :3

Which is on the upper layer? the boots or chap?

What kinda computer update? Windows? That is an ouch!

Actually it was my virus protection program, whenever there's an update it force closes everything else. It's a major pain. At least I've been saving in .png so there's not too much I need to change around.
The boots go under so sadly you don't see the design but it's how boots and chaps go. :I

... :< I have the layers slightly off. Boooo.

But me likey the swirly design...
I don't install any virus protection, I am a virus detector myself. *proud*
Most virus program always fault with my so legal activities and slow the computer performance. D:

I know. The swirls were really fun. Maybe I'll make some denim or something that can be worn under the boots and chaps...
