one would think (or at least i did) that it would be easy. not so. i have ventured back into the realm of digital art... via photostudio, (which is pretty much exactly the same as photoshop so far as i can tell). while i remember spending a long time on the few pieces i made a long time ago, it was nothing like this. i have spent about for hours total on THIS so far, it is nowhere near being done. at all.

this may take a while...
