If you want to skip reading the journal and tell me what tablet you use and your thoughts on it, please, be my guest! (However, telling me about how great your cintiq is may result in the last of my hair falling out)

My laptop broke a few months ago and my intuos broke shortly after that (the early intuos 4s had problems with their usb ports, it was the 3rd time it happened to me and nothing could be done) so I basically stopped coming online here, and tumblr too because it was really frustrating for me seeing this great art and not having my old tools. This is probably TMI but I got really, really stressed over it and my hair actually started to fall out. A LOT. Which made me even more stressed xD

I still don't have a tablet or a laptop of my own but my birthday is in a couple of weeks and I think my sister is going to help me out on the tablet front!
Right now I'm really leaning toward the Huion 10 x 6.5 inch tablet? It has the same pressure sensitivity as my intuos, 2048 levels. They have a lot of different models that look REALLY classy (I especially love how the white products look) and are designed with Wacom tablets in mind, I'd say xD

The pen, from what I can tell, LOOKS like it has an eraser function on the back but it's actually an on-off switch~ But really, they're dirt cheap tablets. As far as I know from what I've been reading about them, they're the same internals as monoprice but rebranded? Only the monoprice seem to be (marginally) more expensive with lower specs (on paper, it's probably not noticeable when using the tablet).

I'd love to try out Hanvon, they look like they have a fantastic build quality but are inching towards the Intuos prices. I'm thinking: Get a budget tablet, and if necessary open commissions and upgrade. I have zero income without a tablet, so my hands were tied when it came to replacing it, you know?

ANYWAY. There was actually a completely different reason for this journal but you guys are always so helpful that I thought you might be able to help me decide. I'm actually really anxious about this! It'll most likely be a huge adjustment from the Intuos.

The real reason I wanted to update: There was apparently a surge of activity here and with my absence a LOAD of comments went unanswered and people unthanked for their kindness!! There must be something I missed on Tumblr, because a lot of people were mentioning it in their notes!! Anyhow, a huge thank you to everyone and I can't wait for the end of the month when I can happily draw my Klaine, Dean/Cas and Sterek again!

I forgot to mention it, but I started that Dean/Cas Giveaway over on Tumblr! I'm kind of touched by the response the poll got to it, but seriously, I freaked out because I was like "They'll have EXPECTATIONS now!"

But I figure I can beef out the envelopes with some prints as well as some really tiny things that are special to me.

So yeah, if you'd like to enter, it's over here! plentyofowls.tumblr.com/post/1…

On point commissions.
Do you ever notice that people price their point commissions ridiculously cheap? I'm talking lineart for 5-10points, colour for 20points...

That's basically TWENTY CENT for a full picture. Something that could take you hours to do. I know 1000pts seems like an INSANE number, but it's really only a tenner or so.

I'm not thinking about opening them or anything, I'm just wondering about your opinion on this

I've managed to somewhat overcome my fear of Benedict Cumberbatch's face and I am now Sherlocked. But uh, I still get uncomfortable when there's a close up of his face for too long.

ANYWAY. I have questions, I need you to give me answers.

:bulletred: Can guys and girls be just friends? :bulletred:

Supposedly all girls think they can, but all men know they can't. /sarcasm

I have plenty of guy friends, yes I know there are one or two who'd go a step further, but the majority are just friends who are male and no amount of time spent together will change that.

There was a post about this in my facebook feed a while ago, and all of the guys were saying unless the girl had a boyfriend they'd want to be more.

Maybe if you're as sexy as a decomposing goat, like me, you can have all the guy friends in the world.

This is actually really bugging me right now, because one of my really, really close friends got fed up with my opinion and told me the main reason he kept me around was the off chance of getting lucky.

Kept me around, says he.

Good to know. I mean, I was starting to think he only kept me around because I did his essays and projects for him the last 4 years, or that, GOD FORBID, he thought I was interesting!

In any case, he hasn't talked to me since.

But yes, I'd appreciate your thoughts on the matter.

:iconlightstorm456: Castiel by LightStorm456 :iconblue-eyed-hippie-63: She's GoneI remember seeing her in the hospital bed.  Her white curly hair was now thinning.  Her old hands were bruised and fragile.  Her shallow breaths were loud and painful.  Why?  Why did it have to be her?  She was asleep oblivious to her visitors.
I remember sitting in the corner crying.  I remember asking myself over and over "why?"  The food that they gave her was was unfit for human consumption, it just sat off to the side.  We sang to her, hoping that she would feel some kind of comfort from us.  The mixed feelings I felt, walking down the hall.  Was that the last time I would see her?
I remember the phone call.  She was gone.

I'm having a bit of a 2014!Cas moment, "You're all so beautiful"
Thank you guys for participating! You all got a sneaky feature <3

Oh, and some of you asked who got my Kiriban. It was someone from Tumblr!! However, all the drawing programs on my computer are a bit jacked up at the moment, so don't expect any art for a while :C
