I just plugged in my Graphire tablet I bought like a year ago, but I never really used it, since I wasn't satisfied with the results. Now, however, I found that I actually could use it, and I came up with this:

Tell me what you think, eh?

My tea's gone cold,I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall
it reminds me that it's not so bad
it's not so bad

I'm thinking of buying a Wacom as well.

CeRbErO: How do you use such a small working area? I am puzzled to think that you can produce that image with such a small tablet! Can you tell me the limitations and or advantages of a 4*5 Graphire?

I'm assuming you had to zoom in a lot because of the size of the tablet. So how do you produce long smooth lines that go across the whole screen?

Cerbero: Nice pic

Galen: isn't the graphire from WACOM, too?

Why are you looking at me? I'm just a Signature.

infinity: yes it is, but i think galen is referring to the wacom intuos

me? Me? I've been chosen? Why.. I've never won anything! This is great!

I think the hand/arm/sleeve should be a bit bigger since it appears this being/thing is pointing directly at me, and would most likely have its arm extended slightly, not to mention its far freakier to have a big demented forced perspective finger telling me that i've been chosen..

nice feel to it, maybe do a few versions of it so the other people get chosen and dont feel left out.

Thanks for the crits everyone.

I noticed too that the hand is quite small... Maybe I'll do another version later on.

About the Graphire.. It works very well with the small work area. I draw the pic in a higher resolution than I intend to have it when it's finnished. The long lines, I just sketch 'em, and build the lines up...
