Final Fantasy Hacktics

Thoughts anyone?  If anything, I don't think it would be useful specifically for sprite art, and actually slow down productivity. =\  Just my two cents.

I have tried a bit, but normally just pluging in my tablet is too much work to make it worthwhile. IMO the tablet is only useful in spriting for sketching the portrait.

Yeah, I know how that is. Honestly, I don't think it's very useful, but I've never tried. I just use my mouse for spriting. Which reminds me, kinda off-topic, but I gotta start spriting again. >.<

I don't even have a tablet and I don't see why you would need one, but I'm fairly closed towards new technology.

As for the stylus + tablet combination, the stylus is more intuitive than a mouse and a tablet's automatic zoom in/out feature is nice, but if your hand-eye coordination is bad (or if your tablet is super-sensitive), a mouse is probably easier to manipulate without making errors.   Computers also have bigger screens, faster hardware, and better visual editing software than tablets.

Honestly it took me 2-3 hours to adapt my hand-eye coordination to match the same level as my mouse...

Yeah, I used my wacom bamboo tablet for my concept art with making my custom portrait.  I had some trouble (still do) but I enjoy it for my other artwork!

Ahhh, I see, yes for me, I don't really have a steady hand, and when I *tried* spriting with it, I would often miss my mark by 1 pixel or so xD.  Don't worry about bein off topic xD,  I haven't had a chance to see your work but I'm glad that you have an interest in spriting again

Yep, that's how I am with my tablet as well since my coordination isn't all that great.
