Worm wrench

16. December 2008

This worm thingy is something I drew up quite recently. It was made with an old Wacom drawing pad, which I found in the trash. It was working fine, but the pen was missing. The person that threw it away might thought it was useless, or had bought a new one. I had been thinking about buying a Wacom pad for a while, and was thrilled about the find. I bought the pen for a fraction of the cost for a new Wacom pad, and have enjoyed it ever since. This happened some years ago, and it is still working fine.

The picture was made with ArtRage 2.5, which is a nifty little painting application. It emulates real paints very successfully, and is much lighter and easier to use than Photoshop. Regarding the price tag, it is very friendly at $25. The Photoshop to ArtRage ratio is almost 1:40, with Norwegian pricing on Photoshop. I’m not saying Photoshop isn’t worth the money, but ArtRage is much simpler and cheaper for doing digital painting. As for the moral of this post I might say, pick up the stuff you find in the trash?
