Cintiq help?
9 years ago
General
Ayyyy hello, I'm still alive! So sorry for the long hiatus, I still don't know when I'm coming back, but I just wanted y'all to know I'm doing alright lately!
Anyway, I've been considering getting a Cintiq, and I'm sure everyone knows how damn pricey they are, so before I do something stupid, I'd like to hear other people's opinions, since I have literally zero experience in the matter.
I've done some quick reading online looking for the best option for me, and I got my eyes on a Cintiq 13hd Pen & Touch, since they're not too big and not too expensive (still quite a good bunch of money tho, augh). I got attracted to the touch function (even though my current tablet already has touch support and I never use it) cause I think since I'll be working directly on the screen, touch can be quite convenient, and I was hoping for a wireless tablet so I can draw in bed or whatever, and the touch support would also help lots on that. (I think this tablet is wireless? Correct me if I'm wrong.)
But yeah, I really have no idea if this is the best option, and if anyone could give me some reviews or advice, or even suggest something else, I'd be very grateful! Please share your thoughts and experiences!
Thanks! Hope you're having a good day!
I've seen some videos and reviews and it seems to be such a fuckin dream to have one o<-<
Or a Companion, but it's way more expensive so no plans on that for a few years probably :,3c
I don't think the 13HD is wireless tho, the Companion is the one wireless model I think ?? I might be wrong too~
Touch controls seem good for this kind of tablet, yes, and it's the same price as the non-touch model so HAH it's worth it~
I don't have much info but trusting what I saw online, seems to be a fun tablet to have, but I also saw people saying that they couldn't adapt well to it, so it's a hit or miss kinda thing... I don't know, seems risky for now, but we can gather some sweet quality info on it in the meantime `v´ 9
Cintiq 13 HD is not Wireless. Quite the contrary, you need both a USB and a HDMI to get it working, but I'll tell you the support from wacom is getting sickier everyday. There's a long list of complains towards cintiqs on some artists communities. Of cours there's that slice of people who got a tablet with a tiny issue from the company, small numbers but I'm brazilian as well and I freaking know HOW MUCH this shit costs.
If you're not looking DIRECTLY to own a cintiq so you can say you have a screen tablet from Wacom, I might have some others brands for you, but you might have to buy them from AliExpress, DX or other store using some kind of redirecting mail service (such as MyVIPBox and Shipito). Those are Ugee and Artisul. Artisul have some powerful reviews and costs half of the cintiq already including mailing and the "amazing" 60% tax from government. Artisul does not ship to Brazil YET, but I heard that they have plans on shiping to Brazil soon. For now you would have to buy from others sites (as examples I said - DX & Ebay & Wathev.) Ugee 19" is not a very good pick though, it needs VGA plugs instead of HDMI. Ugee 23" requires HDMI. There's Yinova too that have a SOOO NEAT looking <3
There's x-Pen too, but I just heard about it now..
I would not recommend screen tablets from Huion. They do amazingly good traditional trablets, but the screen ones are too fragile. Same to Bosto.
Now if you need/want a screen tablet to lay in bed & work, you would rather need an android based one. Cintiq Traveler is amazing, but costs the same as iPad Pro and/or Microsoft Surface pro. You just need a Stylus and an art app to use it as some sort of cintiq traveler. Rotarr uses a tablet like that, I can't recall the name now. :/ I heard a lot of reviews about those, but you might want to check on them! Still a lot of money involved.
Hope I helped. D:
(Oh and I heard it's your birthday? Happy birthday :3c)
