Greyhaunt got an Inkling, Greyhaunt got an Inkling!!!

And no, it's not a doll or even doll related, but I'm squeefully happy so I had to brag! It's a new "toy" from Wacom (who make the industry standard in digital tablets for artists) and I've been waiting to buy one since September! They had a limited release in November, but they sold out immediately and I had no intention of spending $1000 on Ebay for one when all I had to do was wait for more at the normal price of $199. Today I saw them listed again and BOUGHT ONE!!! WOOT!!!

For those who have no clue what I'm ranting about - here is a link: http://www.wacom.com/en/Products/Inkling.aspx

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Eeeee!!! That's so exciting!!! At first I thought you were talking about the little doll by (I think) that name but this is even more exciting!! <-- Says the art nerd, mind you. I've been eyeing those up but since I have my nice big Wacom in still really great condition I can't possibly even begin to justify getting it. Congratulations! Please let us know what you think about it.

LOL - I can't justify it, but I did it anyway hahahahaha. I've actually got two Intuous 3 tablets, one at work and one at home, and a Bamboo for my laptop, but since I'm a compulsive doodler this has had me drooling since I saw a preview for it this summer

I've been wanting a tablet for a long time. This actually seems a lot better than a tablet. That thing is very amazing! Please let us know how awesome it is!

That is awesome!!! Congratulations!!!

Actually I don't look at this as an alternative to a tablet becuase in some ways it is very limited. Really all you can do is draw with the Inkling, whereas a digital tablet is going to give you the flexibility you need to take that sketch and clean it up, color it, do a million things with it. I think Inkling is going to be an awesome compliment to the tablet and will save me a ton of time I've wasted cleaning up scans, but I will never give up my tablets LOL.

I'll definitely post more info when I get it and have played with it though!

Yes PLEASE!!! I ahve been wanting to nab one of these up myself. Hubs actually told me he was originally going to get one of these for me for Christmas but then I was ranting about the 47cm and then Emory had a sale.. soo. But please share how it handles because I will still be looking to pick one up to use in conjunction with my Intuos 4. :3

We want to eventually get one of these for out daughter. She loves her tablet but still loves to draw on paper, so this gives her the versatility she craves. Congrats!

That looks awesome.

Congrats! It looks so amazing and fun~!
