Okay, so.
My tablet is refusing to work properly in the only program I use for colouring-Open Canvas. I think it has something to do with pen pressure and XP. My tablet does not have pen pressure, yet Open Canvas keeps insistng it must--even when I turn off the pen pressure. Meaning, I cannot even draw a straight line.
I've tried re-installing, googling for OP tablet trouble shooting. I've searched the OPhelp FAQ many times. No go.
Meaning-- I need to buy a new tablet. And make sure it's wacom, so I have no future problems.
I also have finally found a site which sells Comicworks, which I need horribly badly for my manga.
Comicworks is $100Uusd not including postage, and a new tablet will be at least $200.
Uhm. SHIT.
No more friday funlands for me, or any other expenses. (except the HP book, like. Duh.) I really need these tools. I cannot colour right now which is making me horribly distressed. As I really want to colour my DC fanart. Angst.
I also have to somehow get both tablet and Comicworks before August 1st, so I can get my manga completed by August 10th, and sent off before the deadine.
I am wailing so much right now. Arrgh. I need these thing like, NOW. But considering how much it will all cost--I have no idea whether I will be able to afford it by August.
*sighs* To own all the professional tools so I can reach my aspired level of art is more than a bit annoying. I want my art to be the best I can possibly make it, esp. since it is being published. *bangs head*
I think the tablet will have to be first priority. As I have no idea if the tablet I am using now will work with Comicworks. Open canvas and Deleter comicworks programs have the same setup. I can only afford one by August. Meaning I will probably not be able to get my next installment of my manga up to the level I want it to be at.
I am very very frustrated right now. And upset. But I managed to make the last chapter of Nightgate look alright without comicworks, so wah. I suppose I can do it again.
I need to now go figure out when I will have money for a tablet. Yay, budgeting.
