Edit: Turns out my Cintiq isn't a flicker-free monitor, which explains the nausea! Monitors with flicker can cause nausea. My laptop has a flicker-free monitor, which explains why the Intuos wasn't giving me nausea. I had also reduced the brightness on my Cintiq, which makes the flicker (and the nausea) worse. THE MORE YOU KNOW


I did a little tablet comparison! The first image (Intuos one) was a slight vent, but the second one's mostly a response to the vent. I'm feeling a lot better emotionally now though, so don't worry! Also, the canvas size for the first one was slightly bigger than the second, which is why the lines are thinner. Other than that, all the techniques I used for both images are exactly the same.

But yeah man tablets are weird. For the Cintiq, the motion sickness gets worse the longer I use it. No idea why. It feels like I've been looking down for too long at my phone when in a car. :/
This also made me realize why it's been so hard for me to use my Cintiq. While the quickness benefits are nice, man does it do a number on my body. I also get pretty bad wrist pain if I use it at a bad angle.

WEIRD. I'll have to do a lot of thinking on whether or not I want to continue using my Cintiq though, that's for sure.
