Ooo, graphics tablet huh? I’m going to get one of those this year as well, I think. Which one were you looking at getting?

Well at the moment this is the one I want…
http://www.wacom.com/cintiq/12WX.cfm
It’s only US$999 which is a lot less than I thought I’d have to pay for something this good. Although it will still take me a while to save so don’t go expecting the comic to magically improve any time soon.
There’s a good review of it over at http://gizmodo.com/
Just run a search for… cintiq 12wx review

The one I was looking at was this:

Not an onscreen tablet, true, but larger, with more pressure sensitivity.
And it’s cheaper than the cintiq you’re looking at.
Still, I’d really want to see one in a store to get a better feel for which one I’d want. And it’s a fair way off at this stage, I have a European holiday to pay for first.

True that’s a metric arseload bigger but the pressure levels are the same and I’d prefer to have the screen. I’ll get a bigger one down the line when I’m rich… or have just saved for a looong time.
Hey all, hope you had a fun and safe holiday season. Mine has been busy busy busy and while yes I did get to borrow Mass effect over the hols I can honestly say that it isn’t the main reason for the lack of updates… I mean 18 hours game play in the last month is nothing… pathetic even! No I’ve just had a bad case of the I’llpostsomethinglaters and of course later never comes.
But the holidays are over and everything seems to be settling down… the next page just needs to be coloured but if I have a new years resolution it’s definitely going to be no more “It will be up by this day” promises… cos I suck at those. But I do have a whole pile of sketches from my work notebook so there’s a chance there’ll be some kind of something up sometime…
Also I’ve decided against saving for a new pc, which would have saved me a bit of time in the comic creation process. Instead I’ll be saving for a sexy drawing tablet thingy which, once mastered, will save me a metric arseload of time on the comic. This will be entirely due to the fact that at the moment my inking skills stubbornly refuse to improve and I’m murdering all my lovely pencil drawings and then spending a good 6 hours a page cleaning up all the lines… the tablet will allow me to just scan the pencils and the ink straight onto a new layer… for those that don’t understand what I’m talking about… this is an awesome thing YAY!!
