This Guy Has the Best Theme Music Ever

Seriously, Zero's theme from MegaMan X (the original) has to be the greatest piece of video game music ever (even if it is only like 8 seconds long).  If you don't agree, you're wrong.

So, my setup is going well now.  I now own Toon Boom Studio 6 which is a help in doing my art as well as, obviously, animating.  My process now goes like this:
1. Thumbnail and sketch in GIMP
2. Clean linework in Inkscape
3. Colouring in Toon Boom

Thankfully, I'm not having any display issues anymore and I did not have to reset my Cintiq to main display.
I've been doing a lot of drawing lately, mostly sketches off the top of my head, and I definitely have some good material to use for future posts.

Quickie

Just gonna give a quick little update.  I'm currently adjusting to an altered setting, mostly with the presence of actual furniture in my new room, resulting in a new drawing setup.
I've got my workspace setup similar to what you would actually find in a studio now; the laptop on the right and the Cintiq on the left (as I'm left-handed) which I never had the table space to do before.  In addition, I no longer have the Cintiq set as my "main display", which gives me a little bit more room to draw with.
However, I have encountered an issue with this.  Some programs seem to have trouble displaying properly on the Cintiq when it's not set to the main display and this has hindered me from finishing up some of my drawings. I may just go back to having my Cintiq be my main display but I'd rather find another solution so I can keep that extra bit of space.
That said, I'm still able to use GIMP with no problem so I've done a ton of sketching lately.  So there's more art to come and very soon.

Ambiguous Spoiler Alert!





I recently acquired a pair of portable tables that have allowed me to get a much more comfortable setup for drawing with my Cintiq tablet so I drew this in partial celebration of that fact.

The Boy Wonder

Been watching Young Justice and recently ordered a Robin toy to compliment my Batman toy.  So, I felt like drawing Robin.
