I've always rather wanted a Graphics tablet. Yesterday, I bought myself one.
Testing *g*
I was inspired by
astolat 's fantastic new fic
Old Country (a Supernatural/Harry Potter crossover)
In the story, Sam and Dean end up at Hogwarts after the end of season 2. Sam learns magic and obsessively researches in the hope of finding a way to save Dean's life. This picture isn't a scene from the story (which is told from Dean's POV) but is instead a moment with Sam. Late at night, Sam takes a break from his studies.
Wacom graphics tablet (whoohoo!) and Corel Painter 3 (which came bundled with the tablet). The combination turns out to be fairly straightforward to use. I spent ages trying to get Sam's hand right - and in the end gave up. I might try to fix it another day.
