Talk about anything in here.

I got a new 'toy'! =D

Postby Fantasy Dreamer » Wed Mar 04, 2009 3:09 pm

And by 'toy', I mean expensive electronic device that I have had my eye on for a while now. XD

Not sure where else to put this, but I got my tablet today! Yay! Right now (until I can look at the box that is) all I know is its a wacom. I've wanted one for a while now. I tried it out today and its amazing! I just need to figure out how to 'calibrate' it so it works with my manga studio program, because its horribly off whenever I draw in the program. XD

But I finally have one and "I'm sooo happeh!" (happy) XD

A very nice toy indeed. Can we expect to see lots of great art from this new toy? ^_^

I have always wanted a tablet, but the cost of getting a nice one, and the amount of use it will likely get, just dont add into my budget well. :(
Depend on it. God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.
- J. Hudson Taylor
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

well, kaji, I plan on using mine a lot. I just need some time to adjust to it and to figure out all the 'tricks' that go along with it. Anyone who has any pointers/suggestions/tips, I'd appreciate it! o.o

And yes, when I draw something decent with it (what I've drawn now is poor because I'm still adjusting to using it XD) I will post some of it!

Yes, yes! I'll definitely post something once I draw something worthwhile with it! I'll have all next week to play with it though, cause I'm on spring break! Yay!

Mmmm, I remember when I got my tablet.. Such bliss!

Congrats on your new toy! Yea!

I have no tips other than to practice!! Practice!! Practice!! That's the only way you'll figure out the quirks of your tablet.

Yes, purplefire. Thank you! It is bliss! I'm falling in love with an inanimate object, but you know, it happens? Its like my new baby or something... I'm treating it with such care. XD Its kinda sad, really, if you think about it. Oh well.

Haha, actually, I was thinking about naming it. XD Is that ridiculous or what? Ok, I admit its odd to name inanimate objects, but people do it all the time with all kinds of different stuff! So I don't feel as weird. o.o

Yeah, getting my lines to be smooth was the hardest thing to get used to on mine. The pen pressure feature would pick up my every wobble. Actually, I still have trouble with that. Eek.

XD I've named a few of my favorite things, so maybe it's not that weird.
Now, when we start talking to them, thats when we worry! o.o

Oh, believe me, I know! But with practice, I'm confident that I'll get better at it.

Yeah, true. I don't usually talk to inanimate objects... not the ones I name... I do call whatever I stub my toe on stupid, does that count? XD

Ok, so I'm guilty of talking to inanimate objects... I don't think I've talked to my tablet...yet.

Thanks. And I've wanted one for years, so it took a while for me to get mine as well. But the waiting and saving all paid off! Yay!

I Love it! I got it to work in manga studio, and I drew something (not quit presentable). I'm still getting adjusted to the 'sensitivity' as it were, but I'm loving it even more!! I'm definitely pondering naming my tablet now. XD

And randomburrito... I got mine on amazon. You can look them up there... it depends on what dimensions you want it to be as to how much it cost. The 'smaller' ones are less than the 'larger' ones.
