Well to my little Tear Drop dudes anyway...

Today, after sitting back and staring at my newly created characters for about 5 minutes and a thought came to me that i've thought about many times before but never really took it that seriously, and thats mainly because i seem to shift from web design to digital design in general.

Thats right...graphic tablets, oh how many times i looked at my work and wished i had a tablet because it just let's you add that extra bit of personal touch that you cant do with a mouse and quite frankly i suck with the pen tool anyway.

So im going to buy one, not an expensive one just one to start out with and get a feel for it and see how often i use it before spending £200+ on a high end one, so i had a look in an issue of Computer Arts i had lying around and it had some reviews and the Wacom Volito2 had a 4 star rating and is only £29.99 so i had a look on the Wacom website and they dont sell it anymore (I just noticed the issue is from december 2007!) but i found one on Amazon, just the one for the same price but a 2nd hand refurbished one, however on the Wacom site is the Wacom bamboo which has pretty much the same tech spec and will do for what i need it for and thats only £34.99 brand new so i think ill go for that...

So, has anyone got/used a graphic's tablet and what are your thoughts?

I'm also messing around with Twitter, it seems pretty cool but im still a bit unsure it just seems to me like facebook status updates

Please also check out my Tear Drop series, i know they are plastered everywhere and i've said alot about them but they are my first EVER characters and i am quite happy with them and want as much feedback as i can get on peoples thoughts so i can figure out future concepts

P.S I just saw that most of my previous entrys had either Angry or Sad mood's which is quite depressing but im in a good mood now! i think the lack of comments gets me down sometimes but alot of my watchers are from the early years and sadly no longer come on DA, so bring on the new concepts, the new ideas and the new crowds!
