So... I got the Cintiq 13HD. And it's amaaazing! I have a few issues I need to settle before it becomes perfect (like colour calibration, the HDMI connections problem and the wobbly stand), but seriously, this is one incredibly awesome machine. I love it

One thing I hope that it'll allow me to do is make inking more interesting. Inks have been the bane of my existence for the last five years or so, hah, but inking with the Cintiq should be a lot more fun. And I needed a test piece, so I grabbed this goofy-looking sketch of Kopa I've had lying around for a while and went for it. I'll need some practise, but this definitely helps. The pressure sensitivity on this thing is also a huuge difference from the Intuos (not sure why that is), so it makes drawing on it a real joy. The 13HD is a bit small, but I think I'll get used to it - A5 is my favourite size to sketch on anyway.

So, yeah. Still getting used to the idea that after all these years, I actually own a Cintiq. Wheee!
