So I was having some issues with my new Wacom Intuos for weeks and they had gotten so bad that I was forced to restart my computer every time I wanted to paint, Now it seems the bugs have worked themselves out so I was able to finish this...and now I want to work on more art but I don't feel like drawing so I don't have any linework to colour.
But anyway, back in 1999 I got Typo O Negative's "World Coming Down" album and I wanted to make a character based on the song "Pyretta Blaze" but nothing would really materialize for me for over a decade no matter how much sketching I did whenever I listened to the song. That is nothing would materialize until now...and all it took as screwing around in Sims 2 BodyShop.
Like Agathe Bauer , Pyretta Blaze is a Neo-Child as well as a former superhero (she and Agathe were actually part of the same team) with the ability to generate and manipulate green flames, but she can only manipulate the flames which she creates. After the First Wave a confrontation with the Horseman Adramalech left her with physical burn scars on the left side of her body as well as a few mental scars. She now leads a group of individuals known as "The Judged Ones" across the dark wasteland.

Have you tried to install a different driver? I had problems with my bamboo tablet quite often too. Changing the drivers always did the trick. But it could also be that drivers from older tablets may interfere too. I know a lot of people who use Intuos and it works flawless for them. But then again, my design class had macbooks, so I have no clue about other laptops.
Oh yes, Type O Negative! I really love them and it's so cool that you decided to even base a character on their music. Peter Steele was such a badass, handsome man with a unique voice. I am really sad that he is dead⦠the music world lost one of the coolest bands and singer. And lol, sims body shop is really cool and fun to play around. I also like to use avatar creators and the gaia dream avatar site to get inspiration or ideas for new characters XD
Great pic, I like her angry expression and I love all that greeeeen. The jeans turned out really great with the textures!

Well, I read that the whole putting the laptop to sleep thing is common for newer tablets. I uninstalled my Graphire driver, which sucks since I was hoping that I could alternate between my two tablets. : (
Type O Negative was and still is amazing. I was first introduced to TON back in...1997 when I saw the video for "Black No. 1" on Beavis abd Butthead. I bought World Coming Down back in 1999 and loved it. It's a shame we'll never get to hear new material from that beautiful voice ever again though. : (
Gaia has so much new crap now that I don't even know what to do anymore. I still have an account there, but I've kind of left the site. I should go back up there and dress my avatar for Xmass.
Pyretta couldn't be inspired by TON if I didn't include an assload of green right?

A bit. For awhile there was A LOT of lag in PS and Sai, but I think the issue was that I still had my old Graphire's software installed, but aside from losing my pen pressure whenever I put the lappy to sleep (which I can fix by stopping and restarting the tablet's services) it seems fine now that I uninstalled the Graphire software.
Thanks, dude. Here's hoping I can make some more. : )

Nice work. The scars and textures of her clothing came out very well.

W00t, I seriously dig this! She looks dangerous and she must be really powerful too. (Green power signature color always makes me think of MK's sorcerers and Ermac and they surely possess power.)

Thanks. She is pretty dangerous, being burned up and haivng your beauty ruined by a Demonic Warlord will do that to you. I was thinking of the same thing about her green powers. I normally refer to my Doctor Faustus as my own Quan Chi though. XD

Only your character is probably better

I don't know about that. I can't seem to work her into every single plotline of my story.
I should draw her superheroine look at some point.
