    You really should if you want to draw on a computer, it is so much easier! c:
    I did this in 30+ hours with a mouse, and this was traced from a paper drawing.
    Chibi avali digital experiment holy shit I made it avatar..png

    Meanwhile with a pen, it took me maybe three hours do to this from scratch.

    It is for everyone, don't worry :nurutease:
    Aside from vector drawing, there isn't much you can draw with a mouse.

    Mouses are only good for pixel art!
    I can't imagine myself spriting without a mouse, it would be so hard to align the damn pixels together ^-^

    Drawing tablets are awesome in that you can do literally everything, so spriting is perfectly doable >w<
    (You can even play FPS games, I tried!)

    I'm using an Intuos Art tablet, it's really cheap for what you can do with it :nuruhappy:

    I use a cintiq. You can get the older models for literally $100. It's awesome.

    Well, it's litterally called "Intuos Art" :catlol:

    Could you link me one? The only models I find are recent, and well above 500€ >w<

    The one I use is 12wx. You can probably find a bid on it on eBay like I did.

    That's because you don't know where to look. :p I've been buying parts off eBay for a while with the assistance of my dad. My PC set up cost me $500 but is easily outclassing a PS4. Its all about digging deeper rather than just taking things at face value.

    Beep bapidly baboop, it's sunday o'clock!

    Some progress with this very serious-looking fluffraptor...

    For some reason, the colours I used are the same as the old version's, yet they look much better here...


    @Dragonclaw I finally started your request! What do you think so far, is there anything you'd like to see changed?

    This picture... I feel shameful about it. I promised to someone that I would draw it, and that was four months ago.

    Come to think of it, I have a lot of stuff and requests that have been lying around for months. Things I haven't started despite saying I would, months ago. Things I only have a few days left to do.

    In other words, I kept everyone waiting for too long. Way too long.

    Take Dragonclaw's request. He asked me for a request 101 days ago. One hundred and one days. And only now I come up with something to show.

    *sigh*

    I need to wake up. I signed for a request thread, and I keep invoking various reasons to explain why I still haven't done my job.

    Yes, real life stuff keeps getting in the way. Sleep deprivation is a major one, and real life drama happens quite often too, especially in the past week.

    But now it should be time I stop whining and start working.

    Everyone, sorry for keeping you waiting for so long.

    I'll do my damned best as of now.

    I hope you all understand.


    ...I really killed the mood, didn't I?


    Also, I'd like to ask something from all of you, if you don't mind.

    Criticize my art. Tell me what's good and what's wrong. Give me advices to correct my flaws, to succeed where I fail. I need as many opinions as I can if I want to improve, since my perspective alone isn't enough...


    Ah well, look at the time. I ain't gonna catch up with sleep by staying awake.

    See you everyone, and thanks again for bearing with me.

    :zzzweetdreams:
