Description First piece with the new Wacom! All the stock was entirely repainted with the exception of the glowing butterflies - which are brushes. Took me two days on and off to put together. I am very satisfied with the result and love the control the tablet gives!!

This fulfills two of my manip requests: a dark or fantasy manip with a cat and butterfly requested by ~phreakyevil and a manip with an ocean cliff and waves requested by =RLDStock . Sorry to combine two in one - but I am desperately trying to finish the requests!

Beautiful work dear! I wouldn't go in there! Well maybe if Divya were with me.

LOL - Well, I won't be coming with you! Too creepy!

Although this is a stunningly well created image, its title troubles me! Living with six cats, the thought of a dead cat is a terrifying nightmare...

Aww - I'm sorry hun - I'm a cat lover too, so there was no harm intended. I was just using that old saying "curiosity killed the cat" to describe the image

yes... I know, but it disturbs me nonetheless to think in that direction.

Thanks!

If you can afford one, you should defiantley get one! I can't belive how much easier it is to do a manip with one! And I am now finally able to "paint" like I have always wanted! I am in heaven

I'm afraid I can not. They're much too expensive (the good ones). I've found some for less than 50 euros (about 65 dollars), but I doubt their quality.
I can only imagine. Too many times have I had the problem with painting with my mouse and it's not moving the way it's dragged. Well, I guess I’ll just have to wait till I finish the college and get the job.

=Madam-Natas told me she has an Aptik (I think that is how it is spelled) and she recommended it if I couldn't afford the Wacom. I can't find the link she gave me, but she is really cool and I'm sure if you asked her, she'd tell you all about it!

I'll try googling it but I'm not sure is it on sale in my country.

I guess I'll just have to visit all stores, compare the prices and quality and then to decide which one to buy.

Aww - thanks! I wasn't sure if the subtle creepiness would come through, so had to give it a good title
