I did a lot of shopping around but I wasn't sure which direction to go. And then a friend of mine from SCAD came to visit for the weekend and brought her ModBook. I'd never even considered a tablet PC before...! In my mind they were all terrible, laggy, clunky things not worth the money. But after some extensive window-shopping I got one:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://basalt.blackrevolver.com/photo/tabpc.jpg" width=500 title="" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;Holy CRAP you guys!!&lt;br /&gt;This thing is.. out of control. It's a &lt;a href="http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:category.details?action=init&amp;current-catalog-id=12F0696583E04D86B9B79B0FEC01C087&amp;current-category-id=329576204C9E42289967E79E0E7C9A2D"&gt;Lenovo ThinkPad X220 Tablet&lt;/a&gt;. Which.. looking at the website now, I musta gotten on a crazy promotional sale because it most certainly did NOT cost me $2k. Whoa!!&lt;br /&gt;It's 12.5", got Windows 7 (which is still weirding me out lol), an i5 processor, Wacom digitizer with 512 lvls of pressure and no lag, and folds into the lovely portable sketchpad-esque shape you see pictured above.&lt;br /&gt;I was able to initially install Photoshop CS5 and it worked like a charm, but Flash took a bit of finagling. It wasn't recognizing pressure sensitivity, which is quite the problem since I intend to use this thing for work. I have no idea what I did but my buddy suggested a few fixes to try out and VOILA. IT WORKS.&lt;br /&gt;Now my unstoppable machine is complete!!&lt;br /&gt;While trying to work everything out I got cranky and drew this in PS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://basalt.blackrevolver.com/newart/tabletfail.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://basalt.blackrevolver.com/newart/tabletfail.jpg" width=300 title="" &gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then this little doodle of Scarlett during a billion-hour G.I. Joe: Renegades power-watching session yesterday. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://basalt.blackrevolver.com/newart/scarlett.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://basalt.blackrevolver.com/newart/scarlett.jpg" width=300 title="" &gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That show is awesome, by the way.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while! I've been having trouble not hating everything I draw the past few weeks, so I decided to draw something kinda old-school. So have some classic Sophie/Bartram angst!

There's some pretty hilarious anatomy blunders in here but uhh, pretend you don't see them!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8463485310456041327-5946651315318306366?l=nikifoley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nikifoley.blogspot.com/feeds/5946651315318306366/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nikifoley.blogspot.com/2010/01/miss-me.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8463485310456041327/posts/default/5946651315318306366'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8463485310456041327/posts/default/5946651315318306366'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nikifoley.blogspot.com/2010/01/miss-me.html' title='Miss me?'/><author><name>Niki</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15965995777437936194</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KHCt-E9t-Eg/SjcMq6XevrI/AAAAAAAAAA0/WvvII0luKR8/S220/beerkiki_icon.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463485310456041327.post-1208288327613005036</id><published>2009-12-22T02:13:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-12-22T02:16:04.470-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Cry me a river</title><content type='html'>I'm going home to PA for Xmas tomorrow and I have to work on freelance while I'm home.

Our model was amazing, like he stepped out of a Loomis anatomy book. So much fun to draw!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://basalt.blackrevolver.com/newart/lifedrawingpg4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 440px; height: 273px;" src="http://basalt.blackrevolver.com/newart/lifedrawingpg4.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://basalt.blackrevolver.com/newart/lifedrawingpg2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 206px; height: 352px;" src="http://basalt.blackrevolver.com/newart/lifedrawingpg2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://basalt.blackrevolver.com/newart/lifedrawingpg3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 290px; height: 403px;" src="http://basalt.blackrevolver.com/newart/lifedrawingpg3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://basalt.blackrevolver.com/newart/lifedrawingpg1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 296px; height: 427px;" src="http://basalt.blackrevolver.com/newart/lifedrawingpg1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8463485310456041327-6330582862096574565?l=nikifoley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nikifoley.blogspot.com/feeds/6330582862096574565/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nikifoley.blogspot.com/2009/12/gesture-drawings.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8463485310456041327/posts/default/6330582862096574565'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8463485310456041327/posts/default/6330582862096574565'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nikifoley.blogspot.com/2009/12/gesture-drawings.html' title='Gesture Drawings'/><author><name>Niki</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15965995777437936194</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KHCt-E9t-Eg/SjcMq6XevrI/AAAAAAAAAA0/WvvII0luKR8/S220/beerkiki_icon.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463485310456041327.post-5212294661434738373</id><published>2009-12-10T19:24:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2009-12-11T02:06:01.048-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Lettuce Con 3</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://basalt.blackrevolver.com/newart/lettucecon3_sm.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 322px; height: 377px;" src="http://basalt.blackrevolver.com/newart/lettucecon3_sm.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diet is still going well but there are certain things I'm having trouble with.

Wasn't expecting that. The class was this mix of step, jump rope, kickboxing, and yoga. I haven't exercised in like 2 months cos, well, what's the point? But I've been having trouble sleeping so I figured if I was legitimately tuckered out, I'd sleep better (Which totally worked, by the way). Anyways, the lady who taught the class was insanely hyper and REALLY happy to be there. She told us her name but I didn't use it in a sentence so I promptly forgot. Gym instructors are always really misleading cos they're generally big, busty women who make you think "well hey if she can handle it, I should be fine." But NO. These women are high-efficiency machines fueled by some kind of magical endless energy source. Or cocaine.&lt;br /&gt;Starts off well enough but then I quickly realized that I am grossly over-estimating my abilities here, and I start to fade. The instructor saw me constantly trying to keep my glasses from sliding down my nose and tells me to take em off. So I do and she then proceeds to keep going "Watch me! Look over here at what I'm doin!" Fffff. All in all the class was hilarious. She had to kick me out for a while to get some air cos she was afraid I was going to pass out. How sad is that?? I'm sure I made a total spectacle of myself, but I am totally going next week anyway! haaaah...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8463485310456041327-4770950949280507904?l=nikifoley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nikifoley.blogspot.com/feeds/4770950949280507904/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nikifoley.blogspot.com/2009/08/working-out-is-hard-to-do.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8463485310456041327/posts/default/4770950949280507904'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8463485310456041327/posts/default/4770950949280507904'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nikifoley.blogspot.com/2009/08/working-out-is-hard-to-do.html' title='Working out is hard to do'/><author><name>Niki</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15965995777437936194</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KHCt-E9t-Eg/SjcMq6XevrI/AAAAAAAAAA0/WvvII0luKR8/S220/beerkiki_icon.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KHCt-E9t-Eg/SoISS73MrXI/AAAAAAAAACg/W7Z62t7VfCo/s72-c/studiosampler.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463485310456041327.post-546421888982989370</id><published>2009-08-07T19:50:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-07T19:52:28.751-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Funemployment</title><content type='html'>Yesterday I hung out with Batman and a box of cheezits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://basalt.blackrevolver.com/newart/sketch/kikibatman_sk.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 391px; height: 438px;" src="http://basalt.blackrevolver.com/newart/sketch/kikibatman_sk.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8463485310456041327-546421888982989370?l=nikifoley.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nikifoley.blogspot.com/feeds/546421888982989370/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nikifoley.blogspot.com/2009/08/funemployment.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8463485310456041327/posts/default/546421888982989370'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8463485310456041327/posts/default/546421888982989370'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nikifoley.blogspot.com/2009/08/funemployment.html' title='Funemployment'/><author><name>Niki</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15965995777437936194</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KHCt-E9t-Eg/SjcMq6XevrI/AAAAAAAAAA0/WvvII0luKR8/S220/beerkiki_icon.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463485310456041327.post-372887392495793479</id><published>2009-08-06T16:35:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-06T16:42:14.995-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Ink Blotty</title><content type='html'>Livejournal's "Writer's Block" prompt was a rorschach test today and I drew my answer (which is kind of counter productive, isn't it?).&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KHCt-E9t-Eg/Sns_Qe6UYZI/AAAAAAAAACY/6HOVOtXVhzg/s1600-h/deerbell_compare.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 244px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KHCt-E9t-Eg/Sns_Qe6UYZI/AAAAAAAAACY/6HOVOtXVhzg/s320/deerbell_compare.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366952933350203794" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Either way, I really enjoyed the idea of making a drawing out of your immediate first impression of something.
