Cintiq and Comicon-tiq
Hi Everyone!
Few days ago, or maybe a month already, I had the opportunity to check out the new 22 inch-esh wacom cintiq..
Ok, the first things first. At the end of june, my city was invaded by otakus, for the annual convention about games, mangas and comics in general. Here in Naples it's called Comicon. I used to go there almost every year when I had the opportunity. This year, I did. I went there with some friends/collegues of mine the very first day.
It was freaking awesome! I was even able to see some smurfs doing the gangnam style all togheter (unfortunately I didn't take a photo of this rare moment). Most of those guys did not have more than 20 years, so it was a very full of creativity place.. which is strange for my city, since the only thing people usually think of is football (a thing that I quite dislike).
During our tour inside the shopping markets we found out a stand full of cintiq tablets. Those guys organized a little competition for promoting an expensive school in Rome.
One of my friends is actually a storyborder artist quite talented but he's really too shy. So I told him, "you have to try, if you try I bet you'll win".
Then he convinced me to partecipate at this contest too. I'm not even close to its abilities but I decided to give it a shot! At least I would have tried the new cintiq.
Wanna know somehting? It was great! There was absolutely no delay in the stroke, the pixel resolution was perfect, and it really felt much more comfortable than a regular bamboo or intuos (which I both have). This 22 inches model is really bigger than you imagine. If you have in front of you a 20 inches or more tft monitor, imagine to stick your face really close to that screen and try to draw. Now take this sensation and amplify that twice. I don't know you guys but after a few minutes I found myself working only on a small portion of it. But I suppose it's just a matter of practicing :). It was like have a big old canvas placed horizontally on your desk
I can really explain that feeling.. It's really like drawing on paper, but i'ts different. You shold try that sooner or later.. No, what am I sayng! Don't try it! Don't even think about it, unless you do want to get bewitched by that thing! Like I'm now.. I really want one!
Gallery time!
P.s. Guess who won? My friend of course!
