Wacom Cintiq vs Intous Pro | With screen or without? Which is better?

It’s a frequent question I get asked “should I upgrade to Cintiq?”, and in this video I will tackle that idea and hope my review helps you out.

To have in mind:

Other companies offer screen in tablet: Huion, Propen, Microsoft, Apple etc.

Make sure upgrade means improvement of quality of work life.

So is it worth the extra money?

Pros

If you have poor eye hand coordination it can help.

If you couldn’t transition smoothly from traditional art to digital.

Cons

Costs a lot more. Both to buy and to fix if dropped.

Size matters. That’s extra costs.

Your hand is over the image.

Still needs a computer.

Conclusions?

If you are on a budget, adaptable or a beginner maybe just try it somewhere first. Then decide.

If you have anymore requests for videos please let me know in the comments.

Stardew Valley MOD updates: Ghibli Gardener and Desert expansion

Hi everyone!

For those of you new to my work, I am a graphic artists and I make comics, games and tutorials and I’m also a big fan of Stardew Valley.

I wanted to do a vacation spot in the desert for when winter comes to Pelican town, but a lot of mods weren’t working and I wanted more space as well. So, while searching for other mods that may work I came across the desert expansion mod and it sadly seemed like it was abandoned.

I played with the idea in my head, of a desert expansion mod, for a while and people also kept telling me how they loved my farm and if, jokingly, I could be their gardener.

Therefor I started working on both mods, just the graphics, while still looking for code that worked and one lucky day I came across 13, a modder on the Chuckle fish forums, who was trying to maintain several abandoned mods that greatly expanded the SDV world and he was actually able to get in touch with Yama, the one who did the original desert expansion mod!

Click play to see the video about the two mods I’m working on.

So we are now working on a ridiculously big desert map and we have so many ideas, if we can get half done I’ll be super happy. When it’s done I will compile a list of who worked on the project and other things they did as well as who donated assets to us and helped us finish faster. I do recommend you go check my SDV mod list as well, there is great stuff there from very talented people. 

Concept art

And here is some concept art, now this will most surely change because of the following reasons:
– it didn’t fit/looked good
– the idea was scraped
– I didn’t get an answer regarding permission to use so we did something else
– it was a placeholder and never meant to be final, but only to get everyone on the same page
– we couldn’t get something to work
– we got a better idea etc.

Hi friends! So these are the artists who have confirmed they can stream in the #QuickDrawCollab this Wednesday, aside from myself.

Jun Fender – Maria Ennas – Hellenor Carlesi

We will be streaming at my usual schedule, 3 o’clock Mi. USA time, on these channels:
Youtube –> https://www.youtube.com/c/hisameartwork/live
TwitchTV –> https://www.twitch.tv/hisame_artwork 
PicartoTV–> https://picarto.tv/HisameArtwork

Feel free to join us, chat will be enabled on all three channels. Streaming artist submission are now closed but you can always message me and join the Facebook group to see when the next event is held and submit for the next one.

For those of you that don’t know what a #QuickDrawCollab is, here is the summary of it:

It’s an event where a couple of artists get together to quickly draw what the audience asks them. It’s the illustrator’s version of improvised theater, and it can be quite fun if you knows the artists and want your fan-fiction brought to life. It’s a great way to get to know your favorite artists and meet new ones.

See you there!

Modding Stardew Valley the RPG dungeon crawler and farming simulator

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog, today I want to share with you a little hobby I’ve been working on. Over the last month I’ve been working on modding my  Stardew Valley farm because I wanted to learn more about making video games in preparation for my own projects and SDV is a game I’ve enjoyed playing a lot. I do recommend you pick it up as well, since it covers a lot of game genres.

You can find me on Facebook

I never thought I would play a pixel art game but it’s story is similar to Ernest’s story so I decided to watch some play-throughs on Youtube and I was hooked. Here are some screen shots, I’ve modified mods from Nexus Mods because I couldn’t find the exact thing I wanted so I made a combination of multiple mods and on occasion I made my own since I couldn’t find what I wanted.
