well, as you can all see, i finally managed to get that picture i've been working on uploaded in its completed form. the only part that annoyed me was the fact that to get it on my computer, i had to use my camera and transfer it from there, as my moms scanner was too small to get it fully scanned. the paper is 9"x12" and i don't think theres a scanner out there that can scan anything that big that doesn't cost in the range of up to 500$ or even over 1000$. if anyone knows of a scanner that can take that size paper, i would be grateful to know about it.
