Description
Those of you who've ever had the privilege to use a cintiq for any length of time can attest to the fact that it is not only super awesome and convenient, but also seems to generate heat equivalent to that of a thousand burning suns right underneath your drawing arm. This by no means hinders the awesomeness of the cintiq, it just makes working from home in 100-degree weather super great.Related content

I donΒ΄t got such a tablet, but at this heat here these days, I can damn understand how you feel xD I am feeling exactly like on the second panel sometimes... great picture <3

Uuuugh, tell me about it! Stupid heat wave nearly killed me on Monday. I was supposed to go camping over the weekend as well, but it was canceled due to the sun trying to murder all of us.
I'm just glad my workplace is air conditioned. =_=

This is the REAL reason I use a tiny Bamboo. Really. Honestly.
Okay I'm just poor as dirt.

yeah man if i had the $$ to buy my own i totally would! completely worth the investment i think
π: 0 β©: 1
same here. although i should probably build some skill with a regular tablet first.

Too true!
That's one reason I like working with the 12wx - there might be less space to work in, but at least it puts off far less heat.

Na! It just the side affects.

one reason why I hate drawing in a heatwave.

Oh man do I so know that feeling.I went for a run and my sneaker started to melt. I am not kidding, Hear in westchester Ny it hit 103 degrees and i felt like that lol
Grate work as all ways ^_^

I would be patient, just give me cintiq...

LOL. Hey, us Texans are getting a lil' sick of the rain, can we have our weather back?
π: 0 β©: 1
lol NO WAY!! Our summer last year was horrible and rainy and cold, we earned this!! haha

lolz this has happened to me many a time! i even have a lil burn mark to show for it!
π: 0 β©: 0
That did happen to me a lot with my cintiq, but mine is medium sized so it's mostly my hand that gets burned TT--TT
so I always keep cold water and tissues when i draw, cuz I know the heat will kill my hand or my cintiq

Haha! Very appropriate for the weather in Britain too.

Know the [gross] feeling~~ D;
Glad to see work from you again--I've missed you.

Sorry for making an advertisement, but somehow it seems you could use one of these:

I'm lucky to live where it may be warm but it isn't very humid, so my intuos survives it

Ooo! I wonder if something like this would help. Thanks for the link!

Seems like a glove or sock could be fixed up for this purpose, too.
π: 0 β©: 1
Possibly, but they'd probably get you warmer and not have the same smoothshiny feel ;D
Nah, I'm not trying to make people spend money. It was just a friendly suggestion for a fix, 's all
(also I think they look cool >_>)

It's a great suggestion, Verdokai. Especially when I think about light weight fabric in this heat. Definitely looks cool, too-- drawing with a cutoff sock on your hand could be odd ordepressing at times, I suppose.

That'd be cool in a different way - sorta grungy. Back-alley hood/hobo-fashion. Yowzah ;D

I have an intuos4. And this heat didn't make working on it any easier...

Now I'm happy I have "normal" tablet, but I still have to hold near hanky to wipe myself, cause I'm melting on table.
π: 0 β©: 0
Hahaha I always love your work, it makes me happy XD

This is why I love my mom. She bought a windmill that works nearly 24/7. It is so, so, so, so great!
You should invest.

XD
Well, look on the bright side: if you live in a cold place, at least you pay less for a heating system.

YOU'D THINK! But it must be an overheating issue, cos in the winter it stays nice and cool! Tragic lol

ohoho the suffering ;u;
your tweet about this gave me a guffaw
π: 0 β©: 0
It is like an oven, in tablet form. I swear I read on the guide it can get up to 30 degrees celsius.
π: 0 β©: 1
We've got 34Β° celsius outside... ;___; *full agree with that Picture*
π: 0 β©: 1
We get up to 44 degrees celsius outside in Australia! Man up, world!
π: 0 β©: 1
OMG O.O ...
For Germanpeople is 34Β° more than enought
π: 0 β©: 1
Do you have air conditioning there?? It's standard here but they always malfunction on really hot days! haha
π: 0 β©: 1
This kind of summer isn't standart in Germany. So some people have something like this. At home we've got a ventilator.
BUT what's the meaning of really hot days?
π: 0 β©: 1
Well then you all must be suffering!! Just about everyone here has an air conditioner, and most people also have a pool - my family does! On really hot days you can jump in the pool and come inside again and be cool all day! Easy!

MEH... 
π: 0 β©: 0
That is just SO unfair
I would KILL to have a pool or an air conditioner!!!
The only thing we have at my home... is an electric fan... four people around one electric fan... NOT. FUN.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ugh! But I bet you have a fire or heater for winter... we don't need those much!

LOL - so gross it's funny! do your feet actually dangle off the chair?
love it

haha nooo alas, real-me is not nearly as cute as cartoon-me
