I felt like sharing the very tool I use to create my art since a few of my friends have been wondering as well. Also, with the recent news that the production of the 3DS family of systems is now discontinued, I felt like it was appropriate. (c:

I never had a lot of money, but I got my first 3DS back in 2012 during christmas as a gift from my grandfather. It was the very first model that scratched itself just by closing it (terrible design) and had gloss all over so it smudged like crazy. xcD I loved it, though. I then got FlipnoteStudio3D when it appeared on ClubNintendo shortly afterwards.
Then during the christmas of 2016, my grandfather came through yet again and gave me some money to get myself whatever I wanted and I combined our sums and bought the new3DS, since the first model was falling apart from the damage over the years. hahaha.

I didn't actually touch FlipnoteStudio3D much until I actually started working on LoveMeNot. 0u0)"
Only then did it actually skyrocket itself up on the most played app on my n3DS in the activity log, but hey. It's working pretty damn hard now.
It was actually very difficult to work solely on a n3DS when LoveMeNot first started. I was constantly trying to think of how to fit a lot of things into a few panels without things looking too convoluted, and paired with that was my illiteracy when it came to everything technological (yes, even my n3DS). But at the time, I was already attending classes and working short hours, so I couldn't afford a tablet even if I really wanted one, and drawing on paper takes up space and resources that I felt wouldn't do the comic justice. So my n3DS popped up into my web of ideas and the rest is history. (c:

I do plan on getting a proper tablet in the future, and even though I absolutely love my n3DS for taking my art career this far, I'm aware of its limitations and I feel like my artistic potential is yet to be fully experimented.As for now, my n3DS will be with me til I figure something out. haha (c;
