Cintiq

Posted on August 28th, 2008 by Sacha Chua

It’s 2:51 in the morning. I’ve just spent the last… umm… six hours getting the Cintiq mostly sorted out, and I have barely enough time to get enough sleep to be barely functional tomorrow.

But it’s worth it.

Okay, it doesn’t seem obvious from the quality of my drawing, but it’s certainly fun…

    Give ArtRage a go if you haven’t already – the free version is plenty for a really good play, and it’s a lot of fun.

      It looks great, and it works under Wine! The graphics update very slowly on my Linux box, though. Maybe Wine isn’t using the Nvidia acceleration. I’ll be sure to check it out next time I boot to Windows – it looks like quite a bargain. =)

    And there is Artweaver and project dogwaffle both Windows only, but worth a look ;-). My personal favorite for many years has been Painter, but this is Windows only and needs a lot of resources, but it is still the best out there.
