they'll have to pry this tablet from my cold, dead hands

Okay, I can see myself becoming addicted to this thing. Not only does it make the basic work like erasing about... eleventy billion times easier to do, it means I can trace and doodle stuff and basically take what I've been playing with in my more recent graphics to the next step.

Want to see some trial sketches? Ha, yes, that's what I thought. I did one of the Impala and then one of Outcast!John, who is one of my favorite Johns of all time ♥ Both sketches are basically traces--a layer I drew into that was placed on top of the original image, with a few modifications. Because I am just not that good yet.



(imagine Castiel up there on the roof ♥)



Probably I should get some sleep now. Probably.

IMPALA FTW! And awwwwww. SHEPPARD! His crazy hair and his "omg is that my ex-wife?!?!" clenchy haaaaaaaaaaaands! *snorfles him*

It's very addicting, even me, I cannot function without it!:D

I've already found that I actually prefer using the pen to the mouse most times... it's a bit easier on my hand, even though the mouse is supposed to be ergonomically correct.

I brought a tablet for my daughter and she too is completely fixated with it, and shares the same comments on how easy it is to erase and clean up a drawing.

I've only used the thing for about... five hours now? And already I can't imagine how I got by without it. I even had a fairly decent and sensitive mouse, and basic stuff still look a lot of care and trial and error.

Well your artwork has always been brilliant. I'm sure this will just make it even better.

I think it's the zoom zoom that I love most about these. *g*

Also, just so you know, Castiel on the roof, hands held out in the currents and soft, eyes-closed grin in place has been my happy zone for the last day or so, when I mostly want to kick silly people and then remember that I am improperly balanced right now with the bum knee, and would probably just fall over. So, thanks. *hug*

I kind of want a "Castiel is my copilot" bumpersticker now, though... :)

Eee, Castiel riding on the roof also makes me very very happy! \o/

*soothes your poor knee*

You are so cute.

Zooooom!

*is cute!*

And every now and then Dean will take a corner a little too fast, or suddenly speed up, or suddenly slow down--hey, it's not like Castiel's going to be horribly mangled if he tumbles off the roof and Dean needs to find some fun where he can on these trips--but when he eventually slows down and sticks his head out the window to look up and check on his weird-ass roof-riding angel, Castiel still sitting there, all unruffled and peaceful-seeming (even if his hair is a bit windblown).

"You know we were doing ninety when we blew by that cop," he says.

"I know," Castiel says tranquilly.

"That's breaking the law," Dean adds, for clarification. "The speed limit was fifty-five."

That bit of knowledge doesn't seem to bother Castiel at all, that he's used his these aren't the droids you're looking for mojo on an officer of the law. Instead, Castiel asks how long until the motel, and if perhaps they could go fast again.

Dean's life is very strange.

I love them BOTH!!

Oh, wow, these are amazing! Look at the hair on Outcast!John! Just as wild as in real life. And the shadows on his jacket.

(I wish there was a piece of tech that could make me able to draw.:)

Aw, thank you so much! I used to draw all the time when I was younger, but I've sort of lost my ability, beyond doodling in the margins of my notes :D
