Alright, I'll go ahead and post the math. A few months ago, I really needed to figure this stuff out, so I did my homework. Not many of you will find this useful - most of you will be fine just guesst ...

Had mine since last summer. I had the 15 inch contiq for a couple of years before that. I use an intuous 3 at work. My take: The Cintiq is only better than a regular tablet in the preliminary phases o ...

You can't eh? See, there's these things called eyelids. If you ever want to 'imagine' what it might be like to not be able to see, you've only got to, you know, close them.

My father has one arm. He lost his other arm it in a bike accident when he was 12. He's the most adept person I know at just about everything. If I could do a quarter of the things he can do, I'd be w ...

Is Andromeda* going to come back and tell us what the hell happened? Cmon. I hate threads where the person who starts it bugs out after the initial post and never comes back. I personally think that a ...

Free advice so take it for what it's worth.

Dump her and move along.

What you wrote shows that you feel that her behavior showed you disrespect. Disrespect is a subjective thing - sometimes it's ...

Not bad! Your mecha designs are hot, and your figure drawing is rally decent too. Color me pleasantly surprised. Nice work Ambi.

I'm in. Cool idea. Also, I vote for Exploring Alien Ruins.

Yeah I know - hence the detective work.

I want to see some stuff too.
(googling)
ahh, here we go.

This yours Ambi? More porn stuff eh? Didn't you work with Ron Jeremy on your 'storyboarding hell' job? It s ...

I'm with Balistic, Andy and Eyewoo.

The problem isn't lack of dedication. The problem, Matthew, is that many (most) opther artists don't share your opinion about the artistic process. You have got ...

oy, capt'n

old Cintiq user here. I got mine in april or may 2002. It has been my workhorse for the better part of the time since, and my screen is still in awesome shape. I can't imagine that th ...

Jfrancis, cool!
I have one too. The film winder is broke now, and I haven't gotten around to getting it fixed. Have you taken many photos with it? Do you have the 'punch', or do you gut the frames ou ...

I'll try to come. Where and when? Send me a private message and we'll establish email contact.

Oh, I forgot to mention the try-before-you-buy problem.

My advice would be to ignore the stores, and talk to people at the distibutors. They may have 'demo models' that aren't being demo'd at the m ...

re: tablet vs. cintiq.

I own both. I've had a cintiq 15x for several years. I've had a fujitsu stylistic tablet PC (with outdoor screen) for a year and a half.

In terms of mileage, I've gotten w ...

I have a 15 inch Cintiq. Have had it for two years now. Love it. Use a small intuous 2 at work

Fair nuff Swarm. Didn't want to hurt any feelings. I respect your opinions and your process. But I did want to be honest. Brutally honest. You contribute enough around here that you deserve direct fee ...

Aw heck, now I feel bad. I should add:

Zhuzhu - Your deft brushwork makes my eyes pop. Your skills are amazing. And I do wish I had your amazing level of motivation. You seem to be attempting to pe ...

Aargh. I can't bear it any more. It's "Emperor's New Clothes" time. Many of you are thinking it, but I'll play the bad guy and out -and-say-it:

a) Zhuzhu, you should change you handle to spamspam ...

Jin,
Did you have a 'tracing paper' loaded? By default, the tool color is set to the 'underlying' tracing paper pixel color.

All - Anyone know any way to import other image formats NOT as a tracin ...

Should have been a speedy, but it took too long. About 2 hours. I based it on a funny looking UAV I just saw on the tube called the "goldeneye 100". Sucked the colors from a neat photo I found of it h ...

I love your work. I really really love your work. So deft! I used to be an animator, and I will always have a softspot for the swift and sure hand of a good animation illustrator. Simple, fast express ...

Background: I live in Vancouver BC. Canada is very permissive on the subject of Marijuana use. I have many friends who are heavy marijuana smokers, among them many talented artists, including some who ...

Mon, those are beautiful. The lineup characters remind me a lot of John Schoenherr. You've captured the looseness of some of his Analog pen and ink illos. Nice! The creature is wicked. That blue skin ...

Spooge,

I've got some long winded feedback for you. I hope you'll find it useful, and not presumptuous or arrogant of me to give it.

I'm a big fan of your work. Not in the standard fanboy "OMG t ...

JFrancis: so do I! Except the film cutter - I used to cut my pictures out by hand. I inherited my father's old collection of reels, and I've added to it over the years. I've got a lot of really neat a ...

Idiot,

I have an unorthodox suggestion. Bear with me.

As you probably know, the main problem with drawing from photo reference is the flattening of the shapes. It limits you to copying 2d shape ...

Captain Fred,
Hope you don't mind an overpaint.
I have the same problem when I do interiors. Can't look in as many directions as I want. I used a five-point perspective guide I made to bend the POV ...

Relatively speedy - ~3 hrs. No reference used.

Briscola, that Harris/Burtynski pic kills me. Sweet! I'm really liking how minimal your brushwork is getting. I'd kill to be as clean and swift as tha ...
