Painted on Surface using Fresh Paint app.
I've surprised myself by REALLY liking the Surface (the OS is just a very futuristic feeling system and I love the physical design of the tablet and keyboard) and Fresh Paint is a fabulous app (although slightly better on desktop Win 8 as there are a few tools missing on the RT version that I could do with...)
For a version one product both FP and Surface are impressive things... Am looking forward to Surface Pro far more than I thought I might be before Christmas.
As for the characters and the picture? They're based on the Graphics class mascots:
the Stylus Frog and the Yodelling Flamingo of Shame (given to the student who has done the silliest thing through the week and always given with a cheer from all of the students). It's a mark of affection and all students are keen to receive it week on week.
They're hoping to go out on an adventure in April. Still tying up the ends of the loose threads but... 80/20% likely to happen and, if it does, it'll be a hugely exciting adventure for them (and me) (and the students).
