re: #234 CuriousLurker

I’m sooo jealous! I’ve always coveted one, but could never justify the expense. Heck, about 3-4 years ago I bought Painter just because I always wanted it, yet I’ve NEVER actually created anything with it (just doodled). I had to stop myslef from buying an upgrade recently, heh. I’m much more comfortable in Photoshop & Illustrator.

I have the regular version of Artrage and just bought Poser 7 because it was dirt cheap at TigerDirect ($29! I guess they’re phasing it out). I have a terrible software jones.

There used to be this really cool app called CreatureHouse Expression. It was vector based, but behaved like a paint program. Way cool, but they sold out to Microsoft and the app went away (I think it actually morphed into Silverlight). I still have a free copy that they were giving away after MS bought it.

here’s what you do if you want a cheap cintiq, don’t get a 21ux, get a 15x, you’ll be able to find one on ebay for $300 if you wait for one to show up. I used a 15x for years.

they’re dirt cheap because the 12wx drove them down in price. They’re only 1024x768, don’t use it as your primary monitor, but they rock. I have heard tell about Creaturehouse Expression being pretty cool, never tried it
