Starchasm

Yep, it's a Graphire 3, which I have lovingly named "DAMMIT!"

If you can tell me how to turn off the infinite space, or restrict the sensitivity to the canvas, I will be eternally grateful to you

And Saggitary, thanks, that actually works some!

Also, I've found that part of the problem is that the pressure sensitivity doesn't work in Painter Lite (or whatever the hell the "we know you didn't buy a Graphire to do serious art so here's a scaled down version for you" software is called). Apparently this is a problem the Graphire 3 has because the folks at Cnet.com encountered the same thing. I'm in photoshop now and it's going a liiiiittle bit better. Luckily I'm unemployed ( ) and have some time to mess around with this demon machine.

I WILL NOT LET IT CONQUER ME!!!

He he, LJ pretty much summed it up!!

That looks really good!! You have an interesting style. Very fluid!

If you wanna take a crack at a three-eyed dark/rad defender, Radey Ayte is available!!

Yeah I'd been doing pretty well with a mouse for photomanipulations, but I really wanted extra control to try and do some digital coloring. Little did I know that drawing with a tablet is like drawing with a goddamned etch-a-sketch. Whenever you lift your pen, the cursor goes away and reappears wherever you put the pen back down. HOWEVER since the entire tablet surface constitutes your entire computer screen (NOT THE CANVAS), I have NO FREAKING IDEA where the pen is going to come down. And, as noted in my list, the tablet LOVES to pick up on that pen. So I have lines that connect all of my other lines since otherwise I have no idea where my cursor is or will be. Sure I could erase them. But how will I know where my eraser will be?

I wish there was someway to turn off the mobile cursor, I just want it to stay put dammit!!!

Edit: Thunder, as far as I can tell the tablet is working exactly as intended, which makes people who use them either geniuses or UNHOLY MASOCHISTS.

I'm voting on the latter.

But I found out how to adjust the sensitivity on it a little bit so it's not QUITE as sensitive as it was. I still hate the independent cursor [censored].

I travelled back home yesterday and I arrived to find my new graphire 3 4x5 tablet waiting for me on my doorstep (which was kind of annoying because I put a hold on my mail and my neighbor was supposed to pick up what was slipping through )

Well of course I had to bust it out right away, and now I have a list of things I've learned from almost 24 hours with my new tablet:

1) The tablet is very shiny

2) The tablet is easy to install

3) The tablet comes with a lot of software, all of which looks very fun.

4) The software is also easy to install.

5) Drawing on a tablet is nothing at all like drawing on paper.

6) The pen does not have to be touching the tablet for the cursor to move.

7) The pen does not necessarily have to be in the same room as the tablet for the cursor to move.

8) The packaging of the tablet shows happy smiling people surrounded by beautifully retouched photos and pretty sketches.

9) My photo retouches/drawings look nothing like those on the package.

10) I look nothing like the happy smiling people.

11) The tablet does not respond well to threats.

12) …or yelling.

13) …or cajoling.

14) I cannot bargain with the tablet.

15) The tablet is very smug.

16) The tablet’s shininess mocks me.

17) I understand now why I was able to buy the only slightly used tablet on e-Bay for the low low price of $36.

18) The tablet can be run over several times before it breaks.

Wowee!!! THose are looking GREAT!!! I especially like the super duper perspective on TA and Wicked Angel

Londerwost!!! Where ya been?

Cute drawing!!! You got those cursed robot arms done really well!!!

I know that Trinkit is something/FF. I can commisserate with you, after a while you can only draw so many things without running out of poses XD

And on the Panda, I think part of the reason he might look "cartoonish" to you is that his lower body is incredibly small and short, while his upper body is wide and relatively ordinary sized. It gives him a sort of chibi look.

First one requires some explanation. A few days ago I was in a retro mood and decided to listen to Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. (Mostly for Gray Seal and Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding.) I stumbled over track (that I forgot I really liked as well) with a catchy beat and great tune, but I will let you look up the lyrics. Anyway.. some modified lyrics later and..

All the girls love TA...

Wow! That's Awesome!!!! I bookmarked that for my Super Kung Fu Gender Bending comic I'm working on now

...Super Kung Fu Gender Bending?

Is the gender-bending part of the kung-fu? Is it caused by it? Are they a compound storyline? Do I really want to know?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's the new TA/AT comic!!! Coming to a deviantArt site near you soooooon!!!

Radey does have a scarf!! I would luuuurve it colored if it's not too much trouble!

Even though I meeeeentioned it in my original pooooost?

Tee hee, it's okay if you draw her without it, I'm just giving you a hard time

AWWW!!! You gave Rowr's feet piddy pads!!!! <3 I always wondered why no one gave them to catgirls

Tooo cute (although I liked the first one a lot too ) Glad you're back and moved!!!

While I'm waiting for the people I said stuff to to respond, I'll draw Rady Ayte or however you spell it

Argh, her eyes are covered too... Gosh, this is ANIME! Is there anyone hear with visible eyes?! Well, there's What's his name the evil lookin' dude thats hard to draw, he's like the third on the list

[/ QUOTE ]

Radey Ayte And draw her with eyes if you want! I usually ignore glowy eyes because I like drawing eyes

Plus, Radey has three eyes so it's triple the eyeage!

*bops TA* Stop being greedy!!!

Wow! That's Awesome!!!! I bookmarked that for my Super Kung Fu Gender Bending comic I'm working on now

Ooooh wait, I just read this again. If there's going to be just one winner then I can DEFINITELY do a full drawing, or a one-page chibi comic!

Sweeeet!!

....AoT takes the subway???

Awwww, that's cute!!!

As for critique, you were right about the head, but it's easily fixed! You drew it as an oval and you need to make it a circle, it's too flat the way it is. You did a good job on her nose though!

Also, you should give her a stomach. It should curve in a little behind her front arm. Her leg should also curve in a little as it gets to her ankle.

This isn't a bad start at all!! You chose a really difficult pose and it looks pretty darned good!

I'd be willing to do a chibi (possibly a regular piece if time permits). This is a cute idea!!!
