Doodles 12: Just like clockwork.

I visited your IV Studios website. Well done! What service provider are you using!

I use GoDaddy, though I wouldn't necessarily recommend them. Not that I've had any major issues, but there are a lot of little things about their site design and service that have bugged me.

How much do they charge you? Have you tried other service providers?

I have a tedious self-study course in anatomy which I read up on at a café, so I can have some human noise around me (living alone in a new city). I procrastinate by making drawings of princesses and superheroes, which I give to children coming to the café. It usually makes them smile (and blush, and hide their faces in the parents' laps, which is also cute).
This went to a Dutch tourist girl today:

Oh, you took a photo of it before handing it?

[Turi]

Those smartphones are nifty things.

[McDuffies]

My dumbphone makes photos too. It doesn't post them in forum though.

More playing with my new tablet! =D

[MariaAndMichelle]

Oooo! So pretty!

That's it, I give up on drawing.


P.S. What tablet and did you use Photoshop or...? I have a tablet but have hardly used it so far.

[McDuffies]

I can draw like that. Only I don wanna.

I got a cintiq! =D They're expensive as hell, but I've been doing enough graphic design freelance work that it just made sense. They're kinda like a small monitor and you actually draw on the screen with the stylus. They are magic and rainbows. =3

MixedMyth's stuff owns, as usual...

Last night I got bored on Facebook, and decided that space suits are ridiculously fun to draw (they are! Don't try to deny it!!). I then asked if there were any characters people would like to see in space suits.

Luckily, my FB friends are just as weird and goofy as I am, so I got at least 7 requests...some of which I haven't gotten to yet. Then I got even more bored and decided to colour all of them, too! Here are three of them...Perry the Platypus from Phineas & Ferb, Zippy the Pinhead from Bill Griffith's comic strip of the same name, and Spider Jerusalem from Transmetropolitan. (is it obvious I had the most fun with that one? Well, I did ;p )

Zippy looks so happy in his space suit

We got those at work... I wish Icould afford one!

Cintiqs are very cool, and while I don't really need one for the amount of design work I do, I absolutely love the features video on Wacoms site for the 21UX. It's very well done.

[Risky]

I have a Compaq L2105tm. It's waaay cheaper. And is object-based (cameras I think?), so you can draw with anything (pencil, finger, your palm). However, no pressure sensitivity and if you rest your hand on the screen it thinks your palm is the stylus.

I did look at getting a tablet pc instead...although I'd avoid compaq. Had a friend who kept running afoul of their laptops. It would be nice to be able to bring my art anywhere, as it were, to work on it. But I went with the cintiq due to insane levels of pressure and tilt sensitivity, color accuracy on the screen, and the fact that I can swap it from one computer to another...meaning that if the computer dies, I don't lose it. It was a tough call, though.

I have the smaller version. I couldn't justify spending two grand on the big one....plus I kind of like holding it in my lap and the like.

FTR the compaq I mentioned is actually a huge $150 monitor, not a laptop or pc. I've used a couple of HP convertible tablets but they both overheated and died. Mostly I'm using the monitor as a monitor, but I do try to use it for art occasionally.

That sounds like a kind of thing a couple of classes in my highschool had, a sort of electronic white board more than a drawing tool.
