Holly shit Fleki, I wish I could afford that many Cintiqs...or house them all, lmao I can hardly fit my Cintiq12wx on my desk

I LOVE THIS LAYOUT

I has that razer keyboard, so lovely haha

wow what a setup, very impressive

Что-то мне лень по английски писать)
Ну как он, оправдывает ожидания? Тяжелый? Удобно на нем работать, формат-то вроде не очень крупный?)

Я пять лет работала на 12 синтике, обычный планшетный формат. А этот 13 дюймов, места вполне хватает, альбомный лист вроде как.
Не тяжелый, сколько точно весит я не скажу, нужно смотреть спецификации на сайте, но объективно - нет, не тяжелый. Сам синтик с подставкой, плюс клава и мышь купленные отдельно, влезают в его родной чехол. Выходит такой небольшой среднестатистический ноутбук по виду. Забыла, пенал с пером тоже входит в чехол, специальный карман там.
Оправдывает ожидания на 100%, все пашет, не шумит, очень удобно.

А ты нарисовала на нем что-то законченное, или так?
Спасибо за ответ, полезная штука!

Сейчас в процессе рисования, скоро выложу. Разницы вообще не чувствую, как родной.

Looks really fancy. I'm just upset at your logitech mouse when you have razer. You don't need logitech.

Actually, not sure if that is logitech but you still dont need it =P

That's a BDay gift from my best friend, first of all. But also, its a high quality MMORPG mouse and I'm very happy with it.
I'm at the point when I use things that are comfortable for me, not just brands.

I can't really argue the use of what you like, but still. I have a razer naga hex and it's so good.

Looks a bit meh for my taste, but it's IMO.

Can you give me your thoughts on the Cintiq Companion? I have been considering getting one. I need a new portable computer and I was thinking if I could get one that served two purposes, it'd be a winning situation. My research has led me to believe it is worth it but other thoughts and opinions never hurt...

Thanks!

Its very powerful and awesome thingy, when it comes to everything you can think about when you want to have a portable PC. You just connect mouse, keyboard and you even can play on it, it had core i7 inside and all the tasty hardware. As for drawing - it's cintiq, none the less, best tablet ever created. Very comfy.
I had no laptop before (ok, 10 y.o. shit, because never needed one), so for me its 2 in one and works perfectly for everything I ever thinking of.

Awesome! You just confirmed everything I've seen, heard and read about it.

I don't have a great need for it most of the year but during the summer when I'm constantly on the move, it would be very nice to have a multipurpose device such as this.

Thank you once again.

What the?... Who has that many comps?

Its just one PC, with 3 screens. And one tablet PC. So..I have XD

OH! OK.

Ого. ничего себе какой инвентарь. мне остается только курить в сторонке со своими карандашами и умением рисовать:) а долго училась графическому рисованию?

Училась и все еще учусь лет 6-7 уже наверное. Помочь советом...Зависит от того что нужно посоветовать. Я совсем не учитель.

сможете помочь советом?

Too much money?

It's never too much, my dear.

Wow.

Well, I do have Cintiq 12WX too X3

Wow, I am a little bit jealous now :D

But, slry, how its that to drawn of the companion? does it's hardware works well with huge drawings? and, another question: Have you ever used an ituos/bamboo/tablet-without-display to drawn? how much better is it to use a cintiq?

I dunno how hyge files you mean? My files are around 3000 pixels on biggest side and around 200mb total. And works perfect.

My first tablet was bamboo, many-many years ago, and after cintiq I will never use any other tablets again. Just...no. So much better. But its personal preferences I guess.

Well, I guess we have pretty much the same preferences. My drawings go to over 300bm and 3000px.
if that suits you right, probabilly i'll like to drawn in one too. Now, the only problem I have to deal with is my complete lack of money and work :D

thanks!

Haven't been able to find out about this through any official channels, but does the Win8 Companion work like the Companion Hybrid where you can connect it to a different machine as a slave or is it exclusively stand-alone?

Didn't looked for it yet, but it seems to be stand alone, tho you can add a screen to it.

If you happen to find out one way or the other, I'd appreciate knowing. Like I said, official channels are rather lacking in the information. I get the feeling it doesn't function that way, however.

We looked at these at work and the Android one can be slaved like a normal cintique. The Win 8 one cannot and is only usable for the drawing interface for its own OS.

That's kinda what I assumed. I just didn't want to get $2000 into a tablet and find out it didn't do what I wanted.

(Thanks for the reply. Looks like Fleki kinda forgot about this thread.) ;)

Now THAT's a workspace! =D

How much or where did you by that tablet all the way on the left ?:)

Got it in local wacom store, around $5500 here in Russia. But in US you can get it for $3000 or something, at wacom.com

Ok thank you ;0;

Thats a hell of a set up

All you need is a cintique on the wall and one that can be pulled out on a draw beneath the desk and your set!

ONE DAY!

The true item of beauty here is the desk, it's to die for!

So im looking into buying either a Cintiw 13 HD or a Cintiq Companion Im currently using a Intuos 5 Medium and have always been intriqued about the Cintiqs cause you draw directly on the screen. What pro's and con's can you tell me about the two

The only con is that it's much more heavy than any usual tablet, so taking it with you will be a problem (unless its a companion). Everything else is awesome, drawing on a screen is so awesome and pure that I cant describe it with words. For me, there is no way back to regular tablets.

Why so many cintiqs? O.o
I wish I could afford just one...

Well, one is 5 y.o. now, so I got 24HD Touch this summer. And Companion is for traveling, obviously. So, all reasonable.

I only have the pleasure of working on a 24hd cintiq at school * 3 * on dayyyyyyy

I love your desk/set up

dang gurl somebody is well equipped

Master workplace ;)

What would be a good alternative to those of us who cannot affor one of the mighty cinteqs that are similar to a cinteq?d

No idea, really, cant suggest any other tablets like that.

Which are the 2 cheapest and how much do they cost? =0

Smallest ones... 12ux is about 1000 euro, Companion is 1900 euro.

0_0 ... Love it

I jave the same keyboard and had a red pair of beats just like that :)

awesome :D got myself a companion as well a two months ago (or better I more or less had my mate buy it for me mehhehehe XD;;; )
it safes me sooooo much time and I can draw almost everywhere <3

I know right!
Saves time everywheeeere! And I'm able to work even when I dont feel like sitting in front of PC!

yeah! most of the time Im sitting on the sofa and drawing insteed of my work place XD;

I envy you so much lol i only get to work on cintiques at school

Screen size? Level of detail? Weight? How long does the battery last, and how much would it run a person?

I think phisical info like this is pretty much open and you can find it on site of wacom.
About battery, it depends on which programms do you use. For me its ~6+ hours of time.

Just Sai. Been looking into photoshop cc, is it worth getting? (photoshop cc)

I use SAI and Photoshop CS6, also manga studio 5, all that is worth using and 6 hours or so work of the tablet it will cost. Maybe longer with just sai.

Cool, thank you so much for your insight. :3

Here everyone is looking at the tablets. I'm looking at the desk and the chair. owo any way that is a very nice desk you have there:3

That's alot of cintiqs to stare at, wish I even had a dual screen setup for my computer. What's the background you have? This is a really nice setup.

its a valentines gift for my mate, I will post it today ^^

yay same keyboard as me ^w^

dayum. you got the coolest hook up ever! i wish i had a set up like that! your so cool! im a bit jelous

The great big one on the left is the Companion? Damn that's a pretty tablet. I need to start saving my money.

Nah, bit one is 24HD Touch. Companion is small one, 3rd if you count from left.

Ooh, okay. Which of the three is your favourite?

Hard to tell, all of em are good for different things. 12ux is just very old.

Holy fuck I love your office!

Just my room, but yeah <3

There is that Riddick Wolf!

Indeed!

I love that thing :D
Btw. do you even use the Cintiq 12WX now? I mean...looks rather outdated next to the 24HD and the Companion XDD

It is my secondary YouTube screen XD I watch things on it while drawing on 24HDT XD

ok, i can hide deeper underground now with my bamboo and pencil >.>

A lot of Cintiq's <.< I'm still curious which will be better for longer Companion or Hybrid?
It maybe available to connect cables to general laptop/pc and clone desktop on Companion.. and working on him like on normal old tablet?

I dunno, it doesnt seems so so far. But you can do it with Hybrid for sure.
It depends on what do you need from it, for me Hybrid is no way, because I need to use my usual apps like SAI and Photoshop.

I read about that, but many news often miss some good infos.
Well i'm mostly drawing in home, so.. Companion with cnnecting like Hybrid.. would be for me perfect. ..or I hope in some day they invite tablet with Windows, which will be available to be switched on Android, like some others starting to do that. It will be perfect tablet.. but mostly all goes about that connection what Hybrid have, and companion doesn't .__.

What's your thoughts on these Cintiq models, particularly the portables ones, in comparison to the Microsoft Surface Pro 2 which has a Wacom digitizer built in?

Microsoft Surface Pro 2 - no buttons on it, pen is shit, stand is shit. Put it to the trash box.

holt shit thats your work room?! JFC

Just my room, I also sleep here, you just can see my bed from this angle ^^'

that's still one hell of a room and work set up, its BEAUTIFUL

круто)
скажи плз, а ты тестила Motion Computing или Kingtee? И есть ли в мск магазины ваком, где можно потестить планши?

Первая компания вообще по-моему планшеты для рисования не выпускает, просто оборудование тач?
А вот про Kingtee слышала много ужасных отзывов, редкое говнище по слухам. Про Москву не знаю, я не из Москвы.

спасибо
Моушн не позиционирует себя, как поставщик планшей для креатива, но у них есть чувствительный к нажатию стилус, говорят для рисования вполне достаточно
и по характеристикам их последние модели похожи на Ваком Компаньон (хотя ваком ценен из-за технологии позиционирования пера)

Думаю, что взять себе, ибо Моушн дешевле в 3 раза)

show off

Someones got the cash, how many cintiq's does it take for one to cintiq. Classy desk also.

nice ^^ and love your desk

I LOVE that desk QwQ I used to have a similar one until it got destroyed Q_Q I still miss it so much, it was so nice >w<

Anyways I do have a question. I've been a traditional artist since I was 13 and I always draw my best traditionally. I have a Bamboo Pen, but I just can't draw the same as I do anatomy wise, and I'm thinking it's because I'm used to seeing my hand movement when I draw rather than looking a screen the whole time.

So my question is, does the Cintiq line feel like you're drawing on paper with a pencil or does it have a different feel?? I've been looking to get a Cintiq, particularly a Cintiq Companion, but I'm not sure if it will have the same feel as drawing traditionally with a pencil and paper and I'm looking to get something like it since I know I can draw better. Would you say Cintiqs work as though you're drawing on paper or do they work a different way??

sorry for the long message ^^'

I know the question wasn't for me, but just needed to say that the Bamboo-tablets are really bad. It's no wonder you can't get used to it, these things stink (at least in my opinion) - try to test a intous pro first, before deciding between a tablet and a cintiq (since there is a big money difference and I wouldn't recommend a cintiq as a starting tablet)
You need to get used to looking at the screen instead of your hand. I even know people who prefer the tablet over the cintiq, because they like that their hand isn't in the way of seeing things.

Thank you for the input none the less!! Any advice I can get on this means a lot >w< I've heard the Intuos Pro tablets are really good, but yet I wasn't able to afford one for my first tablet. It's something worth looking into of course, and thank you for the advise QwQ It means a lot that you were willing to give me some advice QvQ I'll start looking into the Intuos Pro tablets again, and again thanks for the advice =3
I've always felt better looking at my hands, but the coloring and detail I can do with my bamboo thrills me >w< I plan to do art for a career so I want to find something that works with my hands *as I've always had a rough time getting my hands to work out what I see in my mind lol >w<* Again thank you!! =D =3

I'd say that I agree with Ro, try intuos. Bamboo is a bit meh, old versions were better IMO, now...Nope.
And you know, I dont draw traditional at all, my pencil drawings looks like crap, so... I dunno. But drawing on cintiq feels totally different, it took me some time when I had to use to bamboo again for emergency reasons. You might like it much more! But also takes time to get use to it.

Hope I'm not too late to ask questions but I was wondering if you could enlighten me on some things, I'm currently looking into upgrading from my 12WX Cintiq to either the 13HD or Companion

How did you like the Companion vs the 12WX, I've heard good and bad things about the stand but what are your experiences with it?
Also do you miss the touch strip at the sides a lot? I use mine to zoom in and out and it's become a big part of my work flow, do you have any buttons specified for zooming and did it take a lot of adjusting?
How do you like the screen brightness compared to the older model? I hate it when I make some cool art that I'm really happy with it, and then move it to my main screen and have the colours look all off xD
What's the battery life like for the Companion when it's unplugged?

Honestly it's really just a toss up for me, 13HD is cheaper and does most of the same, and is more portable now
But the Companion, even if it's more expensive, looks like it'd be a much better option for the artist on the go.

Anyway, hope you can find the time to answer my questions c: Thanks for reading anyway!

1. I like stand of 12WX much more, from the point how its made. But its also much more heavy, so I see the point why they dont use it anymore. Stand of companion is strange, not elegant and from the first sign - uncomfy. But when it comes to actually working with it - it does its job really well, no matter how it looks like. And since Companion is more for working not at home, I had good experience even when it was just on my laps with no stand at all. So... it is ok and works nice with its purpose of being not heavy and mobile.

2. I use touch rings mostly, because 24HDT is my main, didnt used 12WX for a while, but before I used strips for the same thing, zooming and so on. Yes it is more comfy to have it, but its not that big problem, I setted zooming and so on on buttons, works fine for me.

3. Color brightens is so awesome its nothing to compare, its much more correct than at 12WX also, but I still use my main screen for color correction.

4. Depends on programs that you are using and options. Like battery saving, screen brightness, wifi, things like that. For me its 6+ hours with SAI.

What can I say...Every Cintiq it's magic, nothing to compare with other tablets, but you know it since you have 12WX. So... You might really love colors and brightness. Companion on 13HD is a question if you REALLY think about traveling a lot. If you do take your stuff to school or something. I cant tell you what is better for you... For myself, Companion is option for traveling only, all other tablets are too small for me since 24HDT, but its quite personal opinion, I know people who cant handle such a big screen and they feel uncomfotable using it.

I hope you will decide and make yourself happy with a new tablet, one or another!

My pleasure to answer you.
Yours truly, Cintiq Enthusiast,
Fleki.

the name of each screen plz :3

Wacom Cintig 24HD Touch, Wacom Cintiq 12WX, Wacom Cintiq Companion aaaand some Samsung, I dunno, one of their 27'

wow... are u the techno god?
what is the down sides to the companion?

I described it in comments above. If in short - it's portable, thats the main thing.

Ha! That chair...I'm sitting in its twin, surfing FA. And I'm half a world away.

The whole setup (big dark room included) reminds me of The Matrix!
