The past few weeks have been.. ugh, irritating to say the least. >< from my last journal, my computer IS better. I had to get a friend to disable some usb slots which sucks but alas. better losing four usb slots than no computer at all. until i got it back i almost completely beat the main story of kingdom hearts 1 (ps4). thinking about pushing for the ultima weapon but idk! i hate dealing with those mushroom heartless haha

A friend was really nice, selling me their yiynova tablet monitor for shipping - 30 bucks. and i do believe them that it worked for them too! i just couldn't for the life of me figure out how to make it work for me. i tried different drivers, i tried tweaking, calibrating, fixing what i could. but it only seemed to work on the tablet settings window and -only- on my main montior rather than the tablet itself. weird! and frustrating.

not that wacom cintiqs are guaranteed to work flawlessly either but damn! is it worth dropping at least 800USD+ on a known and trusted (dubious, i know) brand name? Its not like my bamboo hasn't been reliable either. I love the darn thing for how old it is. but i was hoping the tablet monitor would help me feel more professional about what i try to making a living from. i know you don't NEED a tablet monitor to feel professional. many professional animators use regular tablets. Bleh, i don't know!

So, frustrated, I finally am giving up on that yiynova. maybe if i save up i'll bite the bullet on a cintiq. someday. but until then, its back to work.

also. i've been using clip studio for my art lately for the past year or so.. but now i'm thinking about going back to sai. Hrm.

oh well.
