I hate you…

Jealousy is a horrible thing. And I still hate you.

Wow, just wow. Haha. Where did you get your Cintiq, and about how many limbs do i have to sell in order to get one myself? Also…how sensitive are they? And how versatile? I’d rather hear from someone that uses one than a review on a website.

That is quite possibly one of the most sexiest things I’ve seen in a long LONG time… I’ve dreamed about getting one of those for ages and I’m only a Freshman in college… Goodness…

Hey Ho
First excuse my english i’m an stupid german guy. I’m an lucky cintiq owner too and got a question about your brush size that you are drawing with. In your video it looks very thick. I’m drawing my comics with an 3 Pixel brush on an A4 Site (300dpi), what are you using? Love your work. Best regards from Lehre Germany.

Man, I’m jealous. $2500 dollars for a Cintiq. Maybe by the time I get to college, I’ll be able to afford it.

Ok, so I know that the film was FFWD’d but at what speed? I mean holy geeze Hawk! How fast did you really do that? Using the Cintiq like that, how long did it take you to ink that one comic? Like always, amazing work my good man.

I was always curious… Do you sketch on the cintaq as well or do you do that on paper then scan?

2008-01-31 19:47:47

that was an interesting video.

Inking is tough for me… even with a wacom.
i guess theres no substitute for good arts training.

(now where does one get good arts training?)

Let’s go over the jealousy checklist:
# Tablet…check
# Talent…check
# Visitors…check
Okay, we’re good here, except for all the jealousy.

All I have to say is, who do I have to have sex with to get a monitor like that for my PS work?

Dear lord. WAAAAAANT. I’d even settle for the 12″ one that I’ve seen. But even that is about a thousand bucks. ;.; Why must the shiny things all be so expensive?

That looks like one of the newer Cintiqs. What happened to the older one you got, Hawk?

Comment by Hawk
2008-02-01 12:49:25

It’s the same one.

Oh. No surprise your lines are always that smooth - the comic you’re inking has the dimensions of a bl**dy BARN DOOR!

Ah, and: Well done!
