I picked up a CycloDS at the beginning of the month. I’ve been wanting one for the better part of a year now, and I finally got one when I found a little extra money from my second job I picked up on campus. That and all the time I spent at work over winter break I sure helped out too. But I’ve been wanting one of these for a good while, the biggest draw for me was a piece of software (among many others) is called Colors.

It’s painting software for both the Nintendo DS and iPhone/iPod touch platforms. The software isn’t perfect, but considering it’s a portable app on the DS, it may as well be considered so. It’s a really nice piece of software, lots of fun. Even has playback so you can see how a particular painting was done. The best part about it is that since it’s being well used and now has an app on the iPhone/iPod there might be more development on it, with the hopes that he might even include local networking on a single canvas (openCanvas anyone?)

Well posted above is my first run with the software. I’m still a little slow with it, but I’m starting to pick it up. I hope is that since it’s loaded in my DS, and my DS doesn’t go anywhere without my CycloDS that I’ll be tempted to draw more often. I even set up a new gallery just for drawings done on Colors and oekaki as well, incase I get back into that. But anywho, just a little painting that I thought I’d share.

Also, if you would like to watch an animation of it being painted, you can go here to view it. ^_^
