I got no comment on the cintiqs. As I don't use tablets to draw... though I may wanna try one in future. But I do have a comment about your art. I checked them out. Bizarre. And awesome. Me gusta.

pixel art must be tough with no pen. i tried my hand at it properly for the first time a couple of days ago and it was hard enough with my set up. i found pixel art to be pretty boss tho'

I guess for your first question about non-public art portal entires being able to show up on peoples follow feeds. Yes, they should.

And about the ergo-cintiq thing, assuming your preferred comfort in drawing, I'd say go for it! I think cintiqs are nice although I want the 13"HD, maybe the companion so I can draw wherever I go, but I haven't decided yet. Currently I have a Bamboo with Photoshop CC on a Macbook Pro, unfortunately cause I'm so busy with school, I haven't been able to actually make digital work with these mediums. All of my previous digital work was done either on my iPad 2 or on Illustrator CC or Photoshop CC with a mouse.....Anyways, I personally don't mind getting the smaller Cintiq cause I've worked on an iPad before. But you seem to want a bigger screen and be able to move it around as you draw so I'd say go for it Sucho. I hope that answered at least one of your questions.

Looking forward to seeing more of your art too, have a nice day!

how is an ipad? i do tend to like bigger surfaces so i can expand a drawing if i like, but honestly the pick-up-and-go is probably my bigger issue. its hard to work as brisk as i like if i can't freely move the display, and an ipad does seem like a more cost-effective treatment for that. i take it there are pen peripherals for ipad programs, and does photoshop work on it?
i'm dense with what ipads can do, last pda i had used a green + black lcd screen.

And yes upload those badass backgrounds!

sucho 2014-03-14 16:08:57

i will have a good look then and see what good ones i can find! unfortunately many i have to rush so the cartoon makes it out the door in time, but there's a couple nice splashy ones i could probably upload.

As far as a drawing setup, Scott Kurtz at PvPonline.com has given his 2 cents for Cintiq tablets, and he LOVES his 13" HD. He also loves the online art community, and loves spreading wisdom and knowledge whenever he can. He might be willing to talk with you about your own setup.

If you don't mind drawing on a flat surface, I'm sure you could mount it on a lazy susan kinda thing, built into a table, have a brass locking latch at either end... plenty easy engineering things, if you crave comfortable working conditions.

I'd love to see the backgrounds, of course... are they on Harry's site? Also, will he be attending as well? Last lame question: will you be bringing clay to the party? That would be rad....

Yeah, non-public art posts show up on your fans' feeds... just do one a day, and they'll all be up in no time. One a day is hardly spam :)

its more that with my eyes, i tend to want to pull my drawing pad up close and personal for some details, as well as rotating for strokes. its a good idea, although i don't own the desks we're using (renters) and weirdly i've been looking up lazy susans for other reasons over here, and they're stupidly pricey for what you get. dont know why that still surprises me in the UK.

the backgrounds aren't posted/saved anywhere which is why i haven't made good on the promise of upload yet - i'm waiting for Harry to get a breather between projects so he can help me with extracting them from his cartoons. i've got a small list, but if people don't balk at them, i'll be open to putting up requests.

as of the moment we're both planning on going! here's fingers crossed that ad revenue $$$ post-income tax feel the same way :X

VicariousE 2014-03-27 07:10:11

Oh crap, I forgot about that tax BS! I don't think it's in the NG Wiki... wonder if Tom could post an IRS link or something :p It's a shame we plebiscites can't donate our NG ad-rev, to offset the tax burden for the artists here, or even if it's possible.

How about a narrow drawing desk (adjustable angle)? I half feel like I should sketch a few things out that might work... lol, maybe I'll make one up, throw it in back of the truck, you can try it out at the party!

sucho 2014-03-27 07:10:11

haha, aww. don't trouble yourself. tbh i'll probably always fall under the category of hand-me-down tablets, and the next time harry gets one it means i get a cintiq which aint too shabby.
