no worries about the late reply @veryspider
i will check out Krita again... i picked up a Samsung S3 on sale, now that the S4 is freshly released... it's pretty awesome... not a full PC but i have been using Infinite Painter on that for most of my recent stuff... from Creature Feature 39 or so maybe... it uses Wacom tech for its pen too... better than Surface Ntrig in my opinion
