Everything I tell Godmachine is good, he gets and hates it. lol Anyway, I have one and love it. 15334 Post 2009-03-09T19:50:57-04:00 397359 997 2009-03-09T19:50:57-04:00 Oh man, it'd be like Star Wars, "you'll be more powerful than you can imagine" Guaranteed. I spend 2K on mine, knowing how it has changed my life, cured world hunger, as well as my lung cancer, I would have gladly given 3K for it. Srsly, for a real deal illustrator like yourself, it would only be a HUGE asset. 15334 Post 2009-03-09T21:06:26-04:00 397437 2865 2009-03-09T21:06:26-04:00 <blockquote><cite>jimiyo said:</cite> Oh man, it'd be like Star Wars, "you'll be more powerful than you can imagine" Guaranteed.

I think even the $1000 would be good. I havent used that one, but I bet it's tight. 20SWX is one huge mother so its pretty cumbersome to move with. I think the $1000 is almost portable. or IS portable. That'd be awesome to have. <blockquote><cite>jumpy said:</cite> has anyone tried a modbook? would it be similar drawing experience?</blockquote> danidraws.com uses one. she's on twitter, and draws in the morning on ustream, maybe you can catch her? @danidraws ... twitter. 15334 Post 2009-03-09T21:21:50-04:00 397456 2865 2009-03-09T21:22:14-04:00 Ya it's purty kool. 15334 Post 2009-03-09T21:47:04-04:00 397482 2765 2009-03-09T21:47:04-04:00 you draw on a screen 15334 Post 2009-03-10T00:02:06-04:00 397635 2940 2009-03-10T00:02:06-04:00 Well I guess, if this is what you do for a living why not use the best tool for the job huh. 15334 Post 2009-03-10T00:03:45-04:00 397638 506 2009-03-10T00:03:45-04:00 The untrained eye will think it's an ugly out of date monitor. 15334 Post 2009-03-10T00:22:28-04:00 397668 40 2009-03-10T00:22:28-04:00 <blockquote> danidraws.com uses one. she's on twitter, and draws in the morning on ustream, maybe you can catch her? @danidraws ... twitter.</blockquote> thanks Jimiyo, thats helpful stuff 15334 Post 2009-03-10T00:25:36-04:00 397675 3804 2009-03-10T00:25:36-04:00 I got the 12wx and it's full of win. The drawing area is still bigger than most tablets? The only difference is I guess you will technically zoom out more often with the smaller screen? I don't know. The motions I use for drawing don't take up much space, and I move the canvas more than my arm. I'd like to have the big one kind of like I'd enjoy a corvette, I guess. Not really because it's necessary. 15334 Post 2009-03-10T03:17:54-04:00 397807 997 2009-03-10T03:17:54-04:00 <blockquote><cite>heavyprints said:</cite> I got the 12wx and it's full of win.

Your Avatar, is that a preview of a new design or something? It looks cool! 15334 Post 2009-03-10T03:47:11-04:00 397824 2765 2009-03-10T03:47:11-04:00 I got the big one, and I could never look back. it's AMAZING. My linework has doubled, my undo's have been cut in more than half, and there's no substitute for looking at what you're actually drawing. Bigger is better, I mean why would you draw on computer paper when you could draw on 11 x 17 bristol? Do it man, and then write it off and laugh at the IRS. 15334 Post 2009-03-10T04:26:01-04:00 397837 3175 2009-03-10T04:26:01-04:00 It's been a while since this was posted, any more feedback on these? seriously considering getting one, pretty good prices at the moment (but perhaps that means a new model soon?) 15334 Post 2009-10-07T04:05:01-04:00 2766621 33601 2009-10-07T04:05:01-04:00 I've got the 12WX and love it. I use it mainly for painting textures for 3D models, its made my work flow so much more efficient. Just buy one! 15334 Post 2009-10-07T04:50:03-04:00 2766901 1280 2009-10-07T04:50:03-04:00 The WX is the one i'm looking at, will probably buy it 15334 Post 2009-10-07T05:07:09-04:00 2767011 33601 2009-10-07T05:07:09-04:00 my Cintiq is so awesome that if I had that extra cash I could buy a second to work on two at once, and I wouldn't mind the small one for my laptop either. I had to work forever to make the money to pay this off but it was worth it 15334 Post 2009-10-07T06:22:40-04:00 2767221 4435 2009-10-07T06:22:40-04:00 also I save all my illustrator actions as buttons on the tablet so I cant automatically do stuff like "select all/same stroke color and expand" or select all/fill-color and pathfind/add to shape area" plus having "ctrl+z" and space-bar right on the Cintiq helps me a lot. I still haven't started using the buttons on the actual stylus yet 15334 Post 2009-10-07T06:29:24-04:00 2767271 4435 2009-10-07T06:29:24-04:00 Everyone pretty much hit it on the head up above. Mainly I like mine because you can view a reference image on one screen and draw directly on the other. The shortcut/quick keys on both sides makes everything go a lot smoother and faster.
