Been looking a little into graphics tablets, just wondering what's the best cheap (v. cheap) one to get? Im in the UK, so UK suppliers would be preferred!

Hi

I only just recently found out about the Adventure game studio and it has really sparked my imagination (which is probably a bad thing as i'm meant to be doing a degree). Unfortunately, my computer art skills are pretty slack. Ive been looking at a few tutorials (thanks to whoever did the 'official' AGS ones... they're superb). Anyway, just thought i'd post this here to see if anyone has any tips (although this probably isn't the style i'd use when doing a real game). This screen was an experiment to get my Paint shop pro skills flexed again, so it doesn't really matter that it's probably too plain for a game scene.

Thanks,
andrew

Voila



(scaled down a bit)

Does anyone use direct scanned backgrounds (precoloured) for their games, instead of complete digital composition or working on a scanned outline?

I expect it might be tricky to get the bkgrounds to a nice size... but not impossible
