Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me.

Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang.

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Cintiq UX?

Journal Entry: Wed Oct 13, 2010, 2:34 AM

Mood: Confused
Listening to: un taupe for work
Reading: job descriptions
Watching: mah screen
Playing: paint monkey
Drinking: Espresso O_O

anybody experience with it?
I still have the problem that I fight with tendo every time I am working too many hours with my normal GT. It's generally a problem of holding one arm position too long I guess - since I don't have the problem with a pen on paper or brush on canvas.

Since I *have* to work digitally on some bigger projects I'm frustrated. Intuos is fine but moving around the paper is one thing I miss. Especially if you have a problem with straight lines (like I do) on screen since I normally flip the paper 45° at least.

And: how's the screen color? Does it work or do you need to adjust 1 million times after finishing the image because colors sucks and black turns out to be totally grey?

I'm looking forward to buying one myself, but the 21" is too expensive and would take too much space on my desk. However, they updated the 21" already, and not the 12". So I don't want to buy a 12" if they intend to update it the next month. Wacom doesn't give any answer on the question of when they'll release a new version

Will Christmas be good to me this year???

I really think I would draw better and faster on this than on my tablet.

~jaggedice200 Oct 19, 2010

I used one at school, it was the small version 15inch screen, I think there only 2 sizes. I enjoyed it, I was able to do straighter lines and it was closer to working as if I had a pen and paper. If your going to make some money off it, then its worth it. I'd get one now but I need to save up for it.

~VanillaChii Oct 16, 2010

Software wechseln kommt nicht infrage, oder? ^^"
Bei Sai kann man die Bilder ganz einfach drehen, ohne, dass alles so eklig verpixelt wird. Komisch eigentlich, dass das bei Photoshop nicht geht, ist ja angeblich so ein Alleskönner xD

`trenchmaker Oct 16, 2010 Professional Digital Artist

ne, dafür sind einige Aufträge einfach zu speziell (im Sinne von ich brauche Raster und nahtlose Zusammenarbeit mit Indesign). Ich würde ja auch zu Painter wechseln, aber bei 116 cm Illus mit 300 dpi ranzt mir das Programm schon nach Sekunden ab. Photoshop läuft einfach verdammt stabil- oh Wunder- bei horrenden Auflösungen.

~VanillaChii Oct 16, 2010

Ah, okay... hm, dann wäre die Anschaffung eines solchen Tabletts wohl echt zu überlegen ^^
Wobei ich vor zwei Tagen mein Wacom Intuos4 bekommen habe und mich frage, ob es überhaupt noch besser geht *_* *begeistert*
(Der Wechsel von Trust zu Wacom ist einfach krass xD)

`trenchmaker Oct 18, 2010 Professional Digital Artist

Intuos habe ich im Moment. Das ist gut, nur kann man es leider nicht immer drehen =.= und ich merke, wie ich verrenkt am Monitor klebe und versuche mit 1 Px Brush die Details förmlich in die Oberfläche zu kratzen. Arg... ich liebe es, aber mein Rücken schreit "No way!"

~VanillaChii Oct 19, 2010

Oh je ^^"
Na da merkt man dann deutlich den Unterschied, ob jemand nur mal hobbymäßig ab und zu mal ein paar Stunden rumkritzelt oder das wirklich beruflich macht...
Meiner Meinung nach geht die Gesundheut vor, aber das musst du wissen

~Rita-Ria Oct 14, 2010 Professional Traditional Artist

Kann dir leider gar nichts dazu sagen, aber ich lese mir alles genau durch - Weihnachten + Geburtstag stehen vor der Türe

(obwohl ich wenig Hoffnung darauf habe)

*ghostfire Oct 13, 2010 Professional Digital Artist

I got the small cintiq about two months ago after ten years of using the graphire and intuos. It's really made my drawing arm feel a lot better. I use it on a stand on my desk, rather than keeping it in my lap.

~Douglas-Brightglade Oct 13, 2010

As for the trouble with your arm, I would suggest something I learned from my teaching classes. The following is a technique we suggest to students who are testing, drawing, etc...

Try to keep your arm in the same position only 20-30 minutes at a time. In between, take a 2-5 minutes to stretch out your arms. A good way to stretch is to cross your arms in front of you a few times. After taking a break you can go back to work. If you start to feel tenseness or pain in your arm, stop immediately and take an hour break if possible.

This is obviously a suggestion, and I know that sometimes you can't take breaks, but if you can, it does help.
