I BOUGHT A WACOM!!!!

After installing my brand new Intous3 A5 (I didn't buy Bamboo after all...) I doodled around a bit, and after 15 minutes PS froze and I couldn't access the tablet settings on the Start Menu, so I had to reboot my computer. However, after rebooting everything seemed fine and I could start drawing this!

It's made from scratch in Photoshop CS2, and took around 9 hours to finish.

I can't believe I survived without a tablet before. It's awesome. No, beyond awesome. I love being able to sketch directly in PS. The lineart was sheer joy to do (well, maybe except all the scales...), and for the first time I could try painting clouds and water. I think I failed, though...

Critique is appreciated!

Photoshop CS2, around 9 hours.
