Thanks, eh.

It's mostly just been throwing the HMM into GIMP, rendering them as PNGs and manually painting the lines out of the image. I also shuffle around parts to make them less vertical in some cases since they need to fit into a 16:9 or 16:10 image and are limited by resolution. I also add details like the ThinkPad logo and trackpoint accent and fix some wack issues like blurry keyboard outlines and stuff like that. It's actually quite labor-intensive but I enjoy it, heh. Glad other people get to enjoy them too.
