PSP will work with a Graphire tablet. The tablet and pen basically replace your mouse as your pointing device, so you can use it with just about any program you would normally use a mouse for.

I'll warn you now that getting used to the tablet takes a little time. I didn't like it at first, and there's still some things that I don't use it for, but for brush work, shading and blending and the like I can't live without it now!

If you haven't used a tablet before I'd suggest hooking it up and then putting your mouse in the desk drawer for about a week. Just use the pen to do everything that you would normally do with your mouse. Use it while you web browse, use it with PSP, use it to check your email. Do everything you would normally do with your mouse but do it using the pen. That'll help you get used to the way the pen works, what it's good for and what it really isn't good for. By the end of the week you'll be comfortable enough with it that it will be second nature to use it for PSP or whatever you plan to use it for.

Working with the tablet is easier for me because I'm left handed, but use a mouse right handed. With the tablet I can draw with the pen in my left hand, and that gives me a lot more control over my lines than pushing the mouse with my right does.

BTW, from what I hear PSP is every bit as good as Adobe Photoshop, so as far as that goes you certainly won't be suffering from an inferior program if you use PSP. Hell, at $80.00 for the full version I might even consider picking it up and trying it out for myself.

These are fantastic, maybe you could help with some stuff, when I'm not such an idiot, of course.

Let me know what you have in mind Rave and I'll see what I can do.

It's a difficult process, first I have to get Sara to get off her lazyy ass and draw the pics (I do the writing) and then I would ask you to color them for me, of course I would give you a blank sketch and a pencil colored sketch.

Yeah, let me know when you've got something together and I'll give it a crack. I've got to warn you though that I work pretty slow on stuff like this, so it might take me awhile to finish something for you, but I'll be happy to try.

I love Steve Lightle's Legion work. When I saw this sketch I just had to color it...



P.S. to Abin: still working on the one you sent me. I'll get it finished some day, I promise!

Looks great, Loser dear.

Hmmmm... not really sure WHAT is going through Shvaugn's mind at that moment... I NEVER try to knee someone who's giving me presents

Thank you Princess!

Maybe Jan just transmuted the flowers out of thin air to prevent her from going through with it?

Sweets for a sweet couple, dude. I've been a Jan-and-Shvaughn partisan from way back, and much more could have been done with them before the TMK mudslide *sigh*

They were always one of my favorite couples too, especially during Lightle's all-too-brief run at the beginning of v.3.

So Lou, Where is it? All those others are Absolutely Great...

But you know which one I'm waiting to see...

Equisite! Marvelous, as always.

Thanks guys!

Oh, and just in case you missed this part of the post...

Okay, one more for the Jan fans in the house. I started this one a long time ago (before my old computer blew up) and only recently finished it.

Here's Element Lad in his Cockrum designed 70's costume, drawn by Colleen Doran...

Gorgeous idea, sketch, and color. Yet that outfit (always the best color scheme for Jan, I felt) raises the same question in my mind every time I see it:

How did that green upward arrow ever get past the prudes at the Comics Code Authority?

One of the true mysteries of the comics universe

Could have been worse. Imagine it was a big green arrow pointing downwards! I bet that one wouldn't have slipped by the CCA!

BTW, little known fact (or maybe not so little known?) that costume was originally designed as a costume for Colossal Boy, hence the upwards arrow, indicating growth. For some reason they (I don't recall if it was Cockrum, the editors or DC itself) scrapped the idea and then brought it back later for Element Lad after Gim's Cockrum era costume (which was a rejected Ultra Boy design) was introduced.

I can't remember where I read all of that.

It's so professional looking.

The pics on page one, the ones of Sketch Lad, Lash and Faraway Lad, did you draw them?

This was worse

The pics on the first page (from Loser to Looks That Kill Lad) were drawn by LMBPer Freekinos, with colors by Loser.

Gawd, I only wish I could draw like that! No, as Crujectra said those were drawn by Tony "Freekinos" Scott, who I fully expect to see drawing comics for a living sooner or later.

As for my own talents, I'm afraid my drawing is more similar to Cobalt Kid's than it is to Tony's.

You're not kidding Reboot! This was a costume actually used in a CCA approved book? I'm surprised they let that happen.

Well, it's not like the arrow's pointing down

I found this Moy sketch awhile back and I just had to color it in honor of High Priestess Viviane's birthday, which is tomorrow (October 4th). Hope you like it Terry!

Awesome coloring job, Lou!

Not to mention totally appropriate for KGZ/Viv's birthday tomorrow. She'll love it!
