COMMISSIONS ALERT! I’m between jobs at the moment so I’m taking commissions, charging at a rate of around £10 an hour!

A full-body sketch is £10.

If you want a more complicated sketch (i.e. lots of characters/a background, then £20.

A greyscale/roughly coloured picture would be £30.

A vector chibi/basic vector drawing would be £40.

A polished, big picture would cost between £50-100 depending on pose/detail/background.

If you want a huge picture with a complicated background, multiple characters and full polish, itll be between £100-200 (best to ask for an estimate first).

Please email me at [email protected] if you are interested or just want an estimate with the subject heading ‘Commission’.

Color calibration has been an issue on every tablet review I read in the last week, I guess it really can’t be helped but if it’s fixable afterwards, that shouldn’t be deal breakingly bad? I’m getting more and more into painting and pushing color theory so that’s definitely been worrying me..

And yes, I was actually very concerned with the hand/wrist strains since it doesn’t come with an adjustable height setting, and I’ve had troubles with my hand this summer that I don’t want to return. :I 

A couple other questions if you don’t mind: 

- What are your opinions on the buttons/lack of buttons on the tablet itself? I use a lot of keyboard shortcuts atm and idk how well I would do without them anymore 

- Idk where you are located but I’m worried about warrancy issues since their site says it only applies to products used in the US? I.. am willing to risk the warrancy itself, but I don’t want to risk not being able to send it back (brand new), if it happens to not work for w/e reason with my desktop. I messaged their user support and didn’t get anything useful out of them 

- What’s the processor / lag issue like? Is it capable of handling very quick, sharp lines or is there a noticable lag issue (even if it’s tiny I will notice and hate it). Apparently the 22″ cintiq completely blows in this department, but it’s younger 13″ sibling doesn’t?

Yeah! To get around the colour calibration, I just would swap my image between the Yiynova and my main monitor to check it and it isn't that big of a problem really, I just used photoshop to adjust the image on your main monitor at the end.

-I really don't use the buttons on the tablet itself, I have my keyboard to the left of the tablet and just use my left hand for any shortcuts! But I never use the physical buttons on my intuos tablets either so that might just be me S:

-I'm in the UK! I actually got my Yiynova second hand so didn't have a warranty. I've heard that the customer services can be a bit useless but have never had reason to contact them mysel as I haven't had any problems with the yiynova so far, and mine's about 2/3 years old. (I run it on a PC with windows 7)

-Lag! There is a bit when you do a lot of super fast lines, but it's not a huge imapairemnt. It can also wibble a bit when you do slow long lines, but again, I've got the earlier model  with a 19'' screen and I think they did fix it up a bit! OH also! There are better drivers than the ones Yiynova supply on their site, which again, reduces the jittering. I think they're pretty easy to find on Google if you look through a couple of yiynova reviews they're linked. (can't remember the name off hand)  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY zombietech !!!!! I am either a day early or a day late I’m sure, but here HAVE A TASKILL omg I need to draw him and Roman together!
