Halloween Cartoon

That time of the week again. Another Cartoon Caption contest over at the cartoonist forum. Only the caption element has been relaxed somewhat. The theme was set as Halloween, with the option to add a caption if you wanted to. Getting more comfortable using the Cintiq now. I have made Windows Vista look crap in the name of performance.  Working on 100MB files with multiple layers is straining my system a little. I just love the way the Cintiq performs at 600 dpi

Found lots of unpublished cartoons (that's a polite way of saying rejected) that I might publish over the next few weeks. So it won't just be caption contest entries.

Disappointing cartoon.

This week's entry in the caption contest. At last I have sorted out my computer, and now have the Cintiq connected via the proper DVI connector, and the monitor connected via the VGA. I even have an extended desktop - although that sounds flash, and very technical, the software that came with the graphics card made it very easy to configure. If anyone would like to buy the VGA splitter that I bought to fudge together a solution, just let me know!

How was your day?

This is about the fourth cartoon I've drawn with the Cintiq. I think I'm finally getting used to it. LH was right. I did go through a moment of hating it, but once you get used to working with it - it's brilliant. This is of course this weeks entry in the cartoon forum contest.
