Wacom Unboxing and Our First Digital Portrait

What's this?
Two posts in one month? When was the last time that happened?

It's been a while, to be certain. Earlier this month, we brought to light that we would soon have our very own Wacom Cintiq 22HD. Update: We have it. And it is glorious.
It was in October that we got to test drive the larger 24HD Cintiq, and we were pretty blown away.

So we got one.




And there was much rejoicing, in the form of mead.





Getting the Cintiq and setting it up was an experience. It was draining, but incredibly exciting at the same time, because we didn't know, and as of this writing, still don't know the potential that this device will afford us.

Well, it was almost immediately necessary for Dave to take it for a test drive. How did it turn out?

Below you'll see two images: one of which is a work in progress, the other is the finished product. Also worth noting is that this was Dave's first attempt with the Cintiq. Both images are 100% digital. At no point did pencil touch paper.

Halfway through:





Finished!




Perhaps within the next few weeks we'll have another post to give some background info on the above character, who looks like he doesn't take guff from anyone (spoiler: he really doesn't).

So what does everyone think? Please leave comments below! And check out our other posts for more artwork!
