Scanner here isn't very good, but this was an early attempt at lithography along with some typeset work for a bookarts class I took. 

Text is from "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien, edited out a word to make it Skuzzy safe. :)

Real cool, and one of the best books I've read. And I don't read much. :D

I would say they are very close,

Nope.. nowhere near close.  If you're thinking current versions (CS4 and 5) vs off the shelf GIMP.  But GIMP is much more suited to drawing than Photoshop is IMO.  I gave GIMP a test run a little while back and can see it's utility but I much prefer CS4 for editing, retouching, etc of photo's.  Generally when I'm messing with an animation or avatar I'll tweak the image a bit in CS4 then save as jpeg and take over in Paintshop Pro.   

That said Ink your work in GIMP is phenomenal.  I don't have the talent, the patience, or the minds eye, to create art like that.

i have one of the 3, it doesnt take much to just have fun with your art if your going to make something in GIMP/photoshop. meh, so what if i dont have talent or the "minds eye" to do it, if you have the patience then i guess you can just mess around until you get a result.

Ah, I know, was just having fun. Speaking of tips, which version of the Tablet would you recommend? I know the Intuos is better than the Bamboo version, but is it that much better to justify the price?

I have the Bamboo "pen and touch"  and it works great..it has up to 4 touch points, but I don't even use that aspect.I just use the pen, and shut off the touch. 

I never used the other so cant say.....

Hey, I haven't been on the boards in a while, lots of real life has needed  priority for me for a while.  I've posted a few of my drawings here, though it's been a while. 

This it's the one I'm working on right now. It's a portrait of my girlfriend's daughter, about half done at this point. Lots of shading and refining left to be done, but you can get the .  It's not scanned yet, just a phone camera pic, so not as lot of detail from the pic, but it is there, I promise. It's just a camera phone pic, so don't be too harsh.
