@IsaacOrloff I've been using a Huion Kamvas Pro 16 this past year for my portable rig and highly recommend it. The Kamvas Pro 13/16 would suit your travel/budget needs perfectly, they're super-thin and lightweight.

@BryanRenno RIVEN! So much narrative is tied into the environments and gameplay.

@beccahallstedt "Clean" is the highest form of praise I've encountered in 3D feedback. Also, if a form/subject is "chunky," or needs to exhibit "more chonk."
