These Sites Are Good ! ---for Concept Art.

There are a lot of sites and blogs online where you can get concepts sketches. But, i found the following three to be really good,

1. http://www.sonsofthestorm.com/

Its a site run by a bunch of artist from Blizzard Entertainment. It has got nice concept sketches, mostly the ones that they have used in their games. If your looking for nice Character sketches and Enviroments or your in search for awesome Wallpapers this is the place to go.

My i - ball Pen Tablet

Recently bought an i-ball pen tablet 8060U. Actually went to Ritchie Street one evening in pursuit of buying a Wacom pen tablet, but because of its price most of the shops there didn't have the Wacom tablet, they said that it wasn't fast moving because of its high price compared to the Indian model i-ball.

So explored Ritchie street the entire evening checking out a lot of shops. In my opinion the following are some descent shops that are there,

• Sethia Computers

http://www.sethiainfotech.com/

• Delta Peripherals
  

http://www.deltapage.com/

• Oasis
  

• and Globe
  

I got the i-ball pen tablet from delta peripherals. They also had Wacom pen tablets, a 6 X 4 Wacom Bamboo tablet costs around Rs.5500, whereas a 8 X 6 i-ball tablet's cost was Rs. 3370 (actually they said 3400, we negotiated and got the discount :) . So went for the i-ball tablet.

Being a complete fresher to using pen tablets, my rating for the i-ball pen tablet would be 3/5 .
It gives really good control, and its nice. But, at times the the tablet's surface is a bit rough, but on the whole i would say it is a good one, for a starter.

And yeah they give you a cordless mouse also free with the tablet. It works on AAA battery just like for the pen and it could be used only over the tablet. Well, Personally I am not comfortable with using this mouse , the reason, well I don't want to make the tablets surface all scratchy.
