hah! had to necro me little thread to reply and add:
@bustartist:
i don't have the "disconnected" feeling here, but I get what you mean.
in the beginning of trying out the tablet i had the same feeling ( a little bit )
the basic wacom bamboo is enought for me, don't think the Cintiq ( which adds tilt support? ) will make any difference. then again i'm no painter, just sketching
plus!.. I've waited tot reply because i was making some other stuff.
although I figgured there wasn't allot of progress, so i've added a quick hack

[edit] ah i see the hack lady is missing a lower leg
