And that’s how you set up a silly joke.

So, although the Modbook is nice, it’s a bit pricey and I’m nowhere near the goal of getting one. However, a modicum of donations have been coming in and I’m up to $26.55 saved up. Instead of a ModBook, I’ve decided to go for the less than half the cost Wacom Cintiq 12WX, which runs $999.
$45.67 raised so far

So I sketched this guy today. Actually, had him done more than this shows, but my DS crashed and I lost a bit of the progress. I may go back and revisit later.
Here’s the video of the sketch on Seesmic:

New comic coming at 12:01 am.
While you wait, I decided to do some more doodling on my DS. Here it is on Seesmic:

Check out this video:
This was done on my Nintendo DS thanks to about $30 spent on a little homebrew enabling card and a very cool homebrew app. I doodled this while watching Lost. I drew it using Colors www.collectingsmiles.com/colors/ and exported as an AVI using Colors Draw masscat.afraid.org/ninds/colors_ds.php. It’s like having a very small, inexpensive Cintiq tablet in my pocket as a portable digital sketch book. The coolest thing is that it creates a movie of your sketching, so you can do things like export the file above and share it on Flickr. Not to mention being able to take a screenshot of any moment in the file’s creation as a different picture. Really amazing.
Stay tuned. New comic at 12:01am, continuing on the story of the current comic.
UPDATE: For some reason Flickr cut the video short. Here’s the full video on Seesmic:
UPDATE: Tom the SkyGuy over on Seesmic asked how I recorded the sketch video, so I answered him in this video, which seems to be a natural partner to this post. Enjoy:

Drew this in my Moleskine, using my Faber Castell mechanical pencil. What do you think?
