Has anyone used such a product ? Thanks much.

Knucklez Great software, Knucklez. It will take me awhile to learn how to use it, but I will sooner or later. My problem is that I am not a good artist. Once I learn how to fully use the software, then I have to take classes on how to make something that looks good with it.
