Not a good day today

[lynxgriffin]

Uuuugh...so the publishing deal I was trying to set up with LG isn't really gonna work out after all. There's other options that I can and eventually will pursue, I'm just disappointed that this one isn't working out, especially since I've already put so much time and talk into it. :( And the guy is nice, just...the business practices weren't in my favor. Nnnnnuuugggh. /feels kinda rotten

Well speaking of, there's a new page up today...check it out here.

...Okay, and on top of it all, my tablet is starting to go into its death throes. I was hoping I could make it last until Christmas, but I don't even know if that's the case. DX Which means I have to go shopping for a tablet again...and I dunno if I should just buy directly from Wacom, or go brick-and-mortar shopping, or buy a used one or what. Anyone out there know of a good place to buy tablets? DX I'm looking for an Intuos, preferably medium-size, $400 or less.

Of course, part of me is also thinking of biting the bullet and just plunking down the money for a Cintiq, but....NNNNGH they're so expensive. But so shiny, too. 8( But also also, apparently Cintiqs do not play nice with the kind of mac I have, so...I DUNNO WHAT TO DOOOO.

In the meanwhile, have a few more drawings...


Even more FOD characters! This time the Cape Town gals, who are, naturally, all awesome.





Aaaand did an attempt at the KH version of Jecht. He's the DI maintenance man, and a bit of a braggart.

Day 14 - Favorite Heartless

WYVERNSSSSS. Probably not a shocker to anyone, but I have always loved Wyverns. 8D I love their look and their movement and I love beating them up. I even love that they made a reappearance in Days, even if they were sometimes a pain. I can almost forgive Dustflier just because it's a Wyvern-type Heartless. Just Wyverns are awesome.

Day 15 - Favorite Unversed

I think I am most fond of Wild Bruisers. They are less annoying than the other Bruiser types *glares sideways at Buckle Bruisers* and they're just strangely cute in their big galloping moves and in the fact that they have a banana peel on their heads.

Honestly, if a Cintiq is going to cause you compatability problems, I'd hold off on buying one until either you have a computer that works with it or they make a tablet that works with the computer you do have. I'd say go with what you know works. Beyond that, I'm useless in this area. |D

Yeeeah I'm thinking that may have to be the case, too. Too bad, 'cause I do want a Cintiq, but from the sound of it the compatibility issues with the iMac are too much of a pain. X(

*hugs*

Huggzorz!

Depending on what college you went to/are attending, JourneyEd</a has a medium Intuos4 for about $310. Beyond that, I don't really know.

[lynxgriffin.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, I'm not sure if I can get these, since I'm not in school...

[crysiana.livejournal.com]

*Hug* I hope you work out your tablet woes. :(

I like your Jecht a lot. ♥

[lynxgriffin.livejournal.com]

Thank yous!

Aww tablet death. ;-;

Angie (Remember Mao-mun from Daisychain?) Broke down and got a Cintiq recently. Gosh they look shiny, but she was so T_T at the cost. lol I don't think I could ever afford one.. but yeah, if there's compatability issues, you might want to hold off. D: Compatability issues was what forced me to get a new tablet... although in my case it was that my old Intuos was serial port. 8Da Wacom no longer supports serial for Vista.

But! Do shop around... like this site i recalled off top of my head: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823100052&cm_re=wacom-_-23-100-052-_-Product

I managed to get mine on sale at a decent price (Just I got the smallest size. I don't know how I'd fit a bigger one on my desk XD the small already takes up a lotta space, lol) so yeah. :3

And that Jecht is awesome. *A*

Tablet death is always sadness!

Yeah, from the looks of it, the mac I have now wouldn't handle a Cintiq well because the all-in-one iMacs don't do dual screen support...so I'd need a converter of some kind, and those are extra money and a pain. D: If I buy a powermac tower in the future, I could get a Cintiq with it, but ffffffff sooooo expensive...

Thanks for the link, I will check it out! I usually get the medium size (I actually started out 9x12 and went a size smaller), although I'm debating getting a wireless one because the problem with this one is the cord got twisted over time so the wires started splitting.

Thank yous! XD

[nalina.livejournal.com]

orz That sucks. D:

Oh, the cord problem won't be a problem with the Intuos 4... it uses a standard mini USB cable. :D So you can replace it easily. XD It even comes with two itself lol

[lynxgriffin.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's replaceable? :O That would be much nicer than having to replace the whole tablet!

[nalina.livejournal.com]

It could not possibly be any more easily replaceable than it is. XD Mini USB cords come with mp3 cameras, cameras, cellphones... it's a standard cord. XD I have like.. 5 of them to my name. lol You can get em' for less than $5. :Db See: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=mini+usb&x=0&y=0

So yeah. XD I was SO happy to see they were using that. XD

[lynxgriffin.livejournal.com]

Oh man, makes me wish I had an Intuos 4 already, just so that I wouldn't have these woes! XD Because yeah, the issue is definitely with the cord. *will have to get that then!*

[lynxgriffin.livejournal.com]

Okay, I ordered the Intuos 4 off of newegg...thanks for the link!
