I GOT one of those things this week (when it comes to technology I frequently have very, very little willpower). Did the strip tonight with it, which is cool and practical (plus it was some very reasonable financing, in spite of being expensive).
However, the thing that made me get it was that I am wanting to continue doing The Geeks Domain but I always end up stopping for a couple reasons. 1) Each strip takes about 3-4 hours to do (pencils, scanning, inking, coloring, lettering, etc), and 2) I don’t have that time when I’m taking a class (grad school). I kinda tested how long it would take me to do a sketch in color from scratch of something that isn’t my own creation and it took about an hour or so for a large figure sketch (did a freehand copy of Ranka from Macross Frontier). Maybe a little less if one removes the time I spent setting up the workspace and what not.
So in short, yay! (I call this sketch, “Sad Girls in Space” XD )
