I worked on this image,
on and off for about 3 days.

That's pretty neat, Wallace.

My PC is built to some MIL standard. The most prominent feature is... a liquid drain hole on the underside, because the standard demands that it survives a spilled coffee.

That's really cool.

I like the camouflage look but don't put it down in a forest because you may not find it

Holy batman, Wallace, that is a stunning piece of work ! :clap

Really inspirational !!

I guess some of the elements are stock images (the handle, the pen and the display for example) ?

This reminds me very much of an article about the designers who did all the interface design for Blade Runner 2049

especially this one:

Nice work Wallace.
I don't get the pen wire though, is it for charging the pen so that you can zap alien enemies in jungle?
Because it looks tad short and there is no socket for right-handed majority.

Beautiful creation, Wallace, your effort on it has given a very perfect image with plenty of superb details. Well done!
Thanks for sharing it. :clap

Really cool result, Wallace; I bet it can even survive a virtual 20 foot drop.

That's pretty neat. :bigthup

I guess the wire is for a pen that needs to be plugged in to the device (ie. not wireless? I am clueless as I have never had a tablet)

Thank you everyone,
for all your wonderful comments.
:jumpclap

The wire attached to the pen,
is only (theoretically) a tether.
To keep the pen from getting misplaced or lost.

I served in the Armed Forces and everything,
that wasn't tied down or secured in some fashion.
Generally became lost,
misplaced and often damaged.
:hehe

The image was created from scratch.
With Exception of the pen, USB ports,
carrying handle and small locking mechanism,
that's positioned near the bottom right corner.

Everything else was created in GIMP.

It was fun to do and I'm currently thinking of other stuff,
that I might want to try and replicate.
If you have any ideas or suggesting.
Feel free to let me know and I'll try and make it happen.

Thanks again everyone.
:tyspin

You are a true Gimp master Wallace. I like this button, is it a mouse or detonation button?

Wondering why I'm getting this error message while importing this .xcf file? Did you create this in Gimp 2.8.22?

It's suppose to be a mouse.

I checked the file properties and it's metadata.

It appears that there's some left over information.
For the images I used to help create this tablet.

These images were posted in my previous post.
I'm not sure if this data can be removed in GIMP 2.8.18 or 2.8.22.

Wallace - love the tablet; do you have a 'military drone' to go with it?

Thanks OMG,
but sorry to say.
No I don't have a drone to go with it.
