Old game for TV...?

Question

Does anyone know what this is called:
It's a thing you hooked up to your TV and you can create pictures and whatnot. I think it was made in the late 80s or early 90s. I keep wanting to say it was called Virtual Painter, but that doesn't yield any search results. I remember there was a nasty looking monster that you could add to the picture you create...I think some could be animated too.

I know this is probably a weird way of explaining, but it's all I can go off of from memory. I would like to know what it is so that I can find and maybe buy one, for nostalgia's sake :-)

Answer 1

There was a few different ones of those. I always wanted one and never got it. The one that was advertized was the V-Painter. Which stood for Virtual Painter. There were a few others which came about the same time but were more lo key including the Video Artist & Virtual Artist. They were around between 89 and 92.
