I'm working on some animations and stuff for this. Ultimately I've come to the conclusion that in order to do the hand-drawn version of Surface, I'm going to need to upgrade my hardware. Right now I use a Wacom G4 tablet, and it's not exactly working the greatest. I get some artifacts in my drawings due to it not recognizing the pen position at all times. I found some new hardware that would be absolutely perfect for this project-- the Cintiq.
The thing is amazing, and probably a little bit of overkill for what I need, but it would be awesome :P
I've opened up a little bit of a shameless talent whorage' to raise enough money for the tablet (given this is a no budget project, I can't justify spending $2000 out of my every-day-life earnings; gotta do something different for it).
Basically here's the deal; you join this facebook group, and follow the instructions there. Basically, you donate a dollar or more, and I'll use my (somewhat choppy) skills and draw a characture of one of your facebook photos. Not a bad deal, since it takes me a fair amount of time to draw the pictures :P
The benefit? It increases my drawing skills. Gives me the ability to draw detailed images quickly prepping me for drawing animations. On top of that, it builds me up to reaching my goal of getting the new tablet. The idea is that by the time I raise the money for the tablet, I'll have drawn well over 2000 pictures and be ready to work like mad on it on the new Surface design.
Feel free to check it out :P
