IMC, which is less than a week away! And this summer, I'll be working on my first graphic novel; It'll be a multi-Artist anthology of Hans Christian Anderson stories. I'm doing Thumbelina! I'm thinking of documenting the process of creating this project. Maybe it'll help out other first-time Graphic Novelists. We can learn together :)
Anyways, here's the review video I made over the weekend:
I screwed up the price in the vid. It was $969 including shipping but NOT tax. And I got it from Costco.ca but I just checked and it looks like they are out of stock because it's not coming up anymore.
I should have drawn something more fun :( but thinking about what to say and making a beautiful drawing didn't go hand in hand, lol.
Basically, I gave it a big thumbs up. I forgot to mention in the video that it is SUPER high res which is the reason that the 13" size doesn't feel small. Also, I'm left handed and it took a bit of fiddling around with the monitor settings to make it display properly. It's super light-weight, slim, and it fits on my desk with all my other junk just fine. The power cord doesn't have a huge brick like some of the other Cintiqs which is nice.
That cord connection on the side of the Cintiq is my nemesis! It actually behaved during the video which was a surprise. It is quite sensitive to movement and I doubt I'd be able to use it on my lap like I've seen in other videos without the connection crapping out. I hope it doesn't have to do with the condition that I got it in: When I finally got the package from UPS (that's a whole other story), I took the Cintiq box out of the bigger delivery box and the Cintiq box had a smashed corner and one of the seals was open. It looked like someone in the warehouse dropped it and opened it to see if it was ok before packaging it up to be shipped. I hope that's not the cause of it being so sensetive.
Other than that (which isn't that big of a deal because I rarely bump my hand into the cord) I'm glad I got it. It's a great device and I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
