[quote=“StopSignal, post:2562, topic:441”][quote=“Pthalocy, post:2561, topic:441”]It is just not a task I am able to wrap my head around currently. It would be interesting to know how one modifies the tiles and how one knows what they’re supposed to be. I figure having a mental map of what to expect will be the bulk of the fight in motivating myself to try tileset making.
As for pen nibs: nibs to a tablet stylus are as lead sticks are to mechanical pencils. You need a new one when it’s worn so short you can’t draw well with it, and basically need tweezers or that nib-removey hole on the underside of your tablet to get the nib out. I believe the nibs are designed to be softer than the tablet surface, thus preventing the tablet itself from getting scratched. Also money spent on refills, and probably how it feels/handles when drawing.
Alternatively: I have heard of some work done by artists who like not spending big money on wee plastic things, who found just the right gauge of weedwhacker plastic to create endless cheapo nibs. I’ll have to look for that trick sometime.[/quote]
Well, thanks a lot! I was getting nervous of months with no change of that.
Also, let me tell you that it’s really fun, but you need lots of free time![/quote]
Carefull though, if the nib \develops a sharp end it may end up scratching the tablet surface, and a worn surface it really gets in the way when you are trying to lay down nice linework.
