well. bugger.

Stylus died. won't be doing any digital things for a little while until i can manage to shuffle finances, etc.. this'll make a dent in the ol' finances.. (not a thing i can afford easily, either)
unfortunately it died whilst i was just getting started on the comic's shading, too.. this'll force a slowdown as i'll need to do the everything in that regard via mouse.
but no sketchies or digital artsings (like i said) until i and source a replacement..
(intuos 2 tablet, unable to source locally, don't trust ebay as far as i can throw it.. )
Just note, i know folks would mean well and fire off something on amazon, etc.. but i live in Australia (tasmania to be precise) so anything "cheap" you could possibly fire off to me would be prohibitive by way of shipping costs.
not to mention it'd take ages.
But! open to suggestions as to what i could do in the meantime.. pencil sketches and hand-drawn inks are still a viable thing.. though it might eat into the paper stocks a tad.
Also donations. open for those.

Is it definitely not in warranty?

OP
given it's a wacom intuos 2... and roughly over 10 years... nope.. hellishly out of warranty.

If that's the case, probably no harm seeing if you can fix it.

OP
it's already been frankensteined to the nth degree.. but i'll see.

Will a more recent intuos stylus work with it? Because I think I have a spare I got last year I can post down if you want it.

OP
just did some digging around.. sadly no.. 'parrently only intuos 2 styluses work with the 2, 3's work with the 3, and so on.

That sort of built-in obsolescence would be enough to switch to a different manufacturer if Wacom hadn't cornered the market. Genius and Trust are just cheap tat by comparison, sadly.
