Finally XP pen had my tablet on sale! they've had a lot of sales tho their spring sale lasted for two weeks and didn't include mine.
I was unsure when the next sale would be and if my tablet would be included.
Luckily i checked last night out of boredom and it was on sale!
So we ordered my tablet. I could not be happier. I've been having an awful time emotionally and mentally with everything going on at home has been stressing me out.
But, Yesterday my day went really well. Finished a friend's commission and even got tipped through my stream which was super sweet.

Might take a week for it to arrive, but i could hardly sleep last night because i wanted to order it ASAP.
Now im just organizing my art stuff and seeing which projects to really test it out with.

My tablet is not a screen/display tablet but just a regular tablet but for a non-display it does quite a lot.
It can be changed in portrait mode[which is rare for tablets outside of the ipads], i can turn down the LED lighting if it's too bright, i can use the wheel as like a mouse. There is just a lot of cool things it can do!

I've been wanting to replace my current tablet as it has a ton of limitations such as tablet and pen need to be charged.
Tablet takes 7 hours to charge. It can work during that time but if the pen needs to be charged at once it's hard to draw LOL.
and my biggest issue is it has very low pen pressure so it can't actually draw straight lines without stabilizers within programs or blend without having opacity on which then just turned into water color brushes in the end LOL.

So im very excited to see how this one works.
and maybe finally i can use krita properly.

Looking forward to comparing how different the new one works compared to my old one.

@Totalanimefan: If it's by USPS it's probably going to be slower than it said
since they've been overworked and the mail has been backed up for forever now.

I don't think mine is coming by USPS however, mine is from Japan.

@MoodyB: Oh that's a good point. I should see if it's coming via USPS. They are totally overworked and understaffed.
Wow I didn't know yours was coming from Japan. That's so far away. My husband ordered a keyboard for work cause his current one was hurting his fingers. It took 3 weeks for them to process the order, but then the shipping was only two days from Taiwan! That's kinda amazing.

@Totalanimefan: yeah very true. Even through fedex and UPS their quite overworked as well.

I didn't know either until we had to pay some sort of shipping fee like out of the country or something.
it was only $1 tho. I think it said it was a custom fee. in order to be shipped.
so that makes sense. and then read their about me and said they were based in Japan and i am like "ah that makes sense..."

Yeah. I am hoping tho it arrives friday tho.
but fingers crossed as it's been snowing here. Not bad. But just semi lightly lol.

@MoodyB: Yeah their drivers all look so tired. I see them park on my street then run around and deliver the stuff to people and I see how hard they are working :(
I don't remember if I asked you this or not, but is it already shipped? ^^;
OMG Snow! Nooooo, it's too late in the season for that. T_T

@Totalanimefan: my dad used to work for fedex.
worked him too hard and with no benefits too.

It shipped on Saturday.
but it'll take at least 7-15 days to arrive.
so it could arrive this friday or later.

@MoodyB: My cousin did that work for like a year. It was tough but I think that it kept him busy and on the straight and narrow. After that he got into heavy drinking and drugs and all that......ANYWAY lol
Thanks for reminding me. I could have looked through the thread but my brain is a mess today and I thought that it would be easier to ask.

to fix the heater to the car during the cold season.

It's fine i don't mind answering.

@MoodyB: Oh my gosh that's awful! I hate the way that companies treat their employees. It's just garbage. Was your dad ok in the end?
It says my package is being shipped by Lasership. Never heard of them before.

@MoodyB: Yeah, what the heck. Retail and other service jobs are always like that. They never care about their workers.

Yeah like, am I going to be able to get this package? Who are they and what are they doing with my stuff I ordered? XD
