Cintiq died. Taking "donations" for credit. [Goal reached]
13 years ago
Commissions are currently OPEN! See below for more information.
Don't wait for the queue to shrink—the commission docket is rarely empty.edit: Thanks, everyone. *^_^* Goal has been reached. We worked out a different solution for the same cost (at least to me ;;), but I would be in a serious pickle without you guys. Everyone who helped me out has been e-mailed and noted in my files. Don't be strangers! <3

:( My Cintiq finally kicked the bucket, it seems. I am going to keep it and have it repaired eventually, but I don't want to spend $800+ and also have to wait who knows how many weeks/months for them to jerk off doing it, so in the meantime, I need a replacement.
Unfortunately, we haven't been doing well financially -- I realized too late that my husband, who I adore but was pretty upset with, had basically been using retail therapy to deal with the stress of his job. So all the money I've been having to work harder and harder for in the past year was going right out the window and I didn't realize why until just now. all of the cash I make is currently going to repair the damage he did. But without my tablet, I can't really do that...
Thankfully, a Yiynova MSP19 is $500 (that's 1/5 what I paid for my Cintiq and less than I'd pay to REPAIR mine, which is 4 years old now). I do have a lovely Intuos4 traded to me recently, but it's proving difficult to get used to again and my hands are still too shaky to use it for anything other than loose sketch work. I got the Cintiq because of this very problem, unfortunately. I'm just not capable of using a regular tablet for my usual workflow right now, much as I wish I could.
edit: Maher won't let me go for the Yiynova because he worries about the accuracy issues, so he's most likely going to send me his Asus EE Slate EP121 after he stress-tests it. I'm going to send him as much of the cost as I can pull here. I'm actually almost to the $500 mark already, thanks to some awesome folks, so I'll be taking down the journal soon. Admittedly, I'd like to give him more than half for it.
So, if you could, please help me out with some "donations", and I'll put it toward any future commissions you might want from me. This keeps it simple for everybody. Please be sure to put your FA username and contact e-mail address in the comment, unless you really want to remain anonymous. <3 You are just as welcome to help me and consider it a borrow (I can pay you back, work it off, or you can consider it a gift. I really don't mind either way, believe me. I just wanna get back to work.)

When I have enough, this journal will be edited, as we all know that too much of a good thing is a bad thing. :)

I know that I've sent you a commission request, and I have every intention of getting that commission paid for when I have the time and the money so please don't think I'm trying to make up an excuse to back out on my commission. Knowing now that you're having some technical issues of your own, I'll see what I can donate to the cause come Monday or Thursday at the latest and maybe cover the price of my own commission in the process. In the meantime, here's to hoping for both our sakes that everything works out all right in the end. Just be glad that you have a few more options open to you than I do. I could ask for donations from people but I doubt I'd get anything from anyone seeing as I'm no artist who draws amazing things for others. xD
kekeke I'm just kidding. For once. ;B
and i wish you luck getting this all worked out :3
have you tried the kind you're trying to get now before? if not, it might be worth looking into a fujitsu tablet laptop. you can get a good used one on ebay for $300-400, and whereas the kind your looking at has some not-so-nice reviews, i'll personally vouch for the awesomness of a fujitsu tpc x3 the only drawback is canvas size, but i can get a 3kx4k one easy on my 1gb of ram x3

Maher has one of these, practically new, and is possibly going to let me pay what I've made here for it, at a slight loss. (I'd like to pay as much of the cost as I can, but I know he just wants me to be able to work.) He just wants to stress test it first! Touchscreen and Wacom pen.
He did that with it just now, in ArtRage. He's concerned it may be a little sluggish, but I also wonder if ArtRage isn't more memory-heavy than Sai... so we're still debating.
and i've never used artrage, but i know that sai is one of the lightest art programs there is x3
if it is still sluggish, though, then maybe it'd be possible to get more ram for it? i dunno, but it might help x3
