I'm gettin' a graphics tablet! ^o^

Yeash. I'm getting a Wacom Bamboo Pen Tablet! Woot! I'm really excited. ^_^ It sounds like exactly what I want. I've never used a graphics tablet before, so I don't know if I'm going to be disappointed or love it a lot...

Since shipping and crap would be super expensive for sending the tablet down here, I had it sent to my sister's place in the States. Now I have to wait a month or so before I'm finally back in the States for good. Then I'll finally be able to use this golden device that an angel gently carried down from heaven.

It was listed as originally being $79.95, but Amazon sold it to me for $57.54. And since it was an electronic, and expensive, I got free shipping! ^_^
Oh, and I didn't have to pay for tax either for some reason I don't understand. :unsure:

Actually I ordered it last Saturday. My sister just told me that it arrived at her house tonight! But since she had lotsa plans for Valentines she didn't have any time to try it today. :sad:

Anyone here have/had a graphics tablet?
Am I going to love it? :yay:
Am I going to be disappointed? D:

So, I've been watching three Anime(s?) recently. ^_^

1. Ranma 1/2 - It's reaaally funny. The art and animation seem a bit dated, but it's not too bad. I'm only a few episodes into it right now, but I'm sure to come across some I had seen way back on Animax when I lived in Palau.

2. Cardcaptor Sakura - I'm about 10 or so episodes into it. Although it's not as funny as Ranma 1/2, it's still really funny. ^_^ It's story is pretty interesting so far, and I like the art. :3
I always want to shout "CLOW CARD!" whenever she gets to the end of that speech thing every episode telling the card to return to the guise that it was meant to be in. :yay:

3. Elfen Lied - Wow. This is such an excellent mix of beauty, horror, humor, and mystery! Seeing peoples heads slide off their bodies so easily is a real highlight of this series. ^_^
Thanks to A Gay Little Cat Boy for recommending it! :yay:

I just recently finished watching Dragonball! I had seen a bunch of the episodes here and there already, but this was the first time I actually went through all the episodes in sequence. It was great! ^_^ My favorite episode has to be the episode where Goku and Chi Chi fight in the Tournament. Him proposing to her after the fight, :wub: and then him wondering why Chi Chi was holding on to him and not letting go shortly after. :rofl2: Ah man, that was great!

I'm still not that great at drawing yet, but I feel that I've at least somewhat improved recently.

Everything on this page is original. I used to pretty much only draw things other people have drawn, but lately I've found that boring. Now I pretty much only draw original drawings 'cause they're more fun. ^_^

I can't wait 'till I get that graphics tablet! It will be like trading a wooden sword for the master sword! My drawings will be a lot closer to perfect with one hand on the tablet, and the other on ctrl + z. ^_^
What will be even better will be using the new tablet with Manga Studio which I just recently obtained through questionable means. :ninja:

I have a tablet but haven't used it in a long while. I went through a stage of making stupid pictures on Photoshop and it was much easier than using a mouse. You're going to love it.

Also, if you want your pictures to have a hand drawn look, try the free 'starter edition' of Artrage 2.

That's encouraging! ^_^

Oh, and thanks for the link! I'll definitely check that program out. In fact, I should probably tell my sister about the program so she can use it 'till I get back to the States. :)
 
I have one too.

I loved it ever since I got it but I found it pretty hard to get used to it (pressure and stuff, way different than a pencil). But that's probably just me though.

You'll love it.
 
I was looking for a graphics tablet too, but in my opinion, the Bamboo has very small drawing space.
Have you ever seen one in a shop?

I usually adapt to electronics pretty quick, so I'm not too worried. It's good to know what you think though. Thanks! ^_^

No, I never saw one in a shop. D:
In fact, I've never seen a drawing tablet physically in front of me...ever.
imo, 9.8 by 6.9 inches isn't too small. It's only like an inch less than a piece of paper. In fact, I hope it's not to big for my laptop-based life.

ha, nope. It's supposed to be some sort of mechanical replacement for an eye. If I wanted to draw a monocle, it would've looked a lot classier. ;)

Aww, thanks! I appreciate your compliment! ^_^
