re: New RPF "artwork" thread
DS, such a fan of your work... great stuff!
Has anyone here tried out (or know about) the Motion Computing LE1700 Tablet?
It's out of production, but seems to be a favorite amoung graphic artists due to it's a) Affordability, b) Similar to an IPad, but has a Wacom Digitizer Screen, c) It's a full fledged computer that runs Windows (people have also installed Mac OSs on them) and uses regular applications, and it's portable.
I picked one up myself after doing research on a Cintiq alternative and I'm loving this thing!
I'm using Sketchbook Pro, Artrage3, Illustrator and Photoshop and it's been a dream!
I'll post some of what I've done later, but I figured I'd mention it. I mean, a portable touch/pressure sensitive tablet for artists is something I'VE always wanted, so I figured some others would be too!
Check out (and I'm not promoting anything in particular or gaining anything for mention any of this) this link to see what people are doing with these.
LE1700 - portable cintiq - IT WORKS! - now with video! - ConceptArt.org Forums
And a video of it in use:
LE1700 - YouTube
I guess they were designed for engineers and other people on the go who need a fully functioning computer without needing a keyboard/mouse, but wow does this do the job for us graphic artists as well!
They sell on Ebay for anywhere between $250 - $450.
So glad I found this!
