Hand and Tablet…

ast week was my birthday and I received a new Wacom Bamboo tablet as a gift! I’ve never used a tablet before and was quite excited to try it, so I quickly got it all set up and sketched a quick picture of my car. It’s obviously not perfect and would need quite a bit more work in order to make it a finished piece, but it allowed me to test out the tablet, which works great! I’m not sure how I ever got by without it actually. It took me a while to get used to it, but the pressure sensitivity is fantastic for painting in Gimp. I can’t wait to try some texture painting with it!

Also last week I did a quick render on my hand with some particle clouds I’ve been tinkering around with. The idea behind the render is that some sort of alien is behind some laboratory glass and something goes wrong in the room causing a ruckus and the only thing that the observers on the outside of the lab see is an alien hand coming up against the glass! Scary!
