I'm so sorry to hear all of the passings.. Your family seems much like mine in some ways. Hopefully you can enjoy a few christmas movies to take your mind off of things.. ; v ; *spreads stardust to try for a smile*

I couldn't have put it better myself. Though, this is how it seems all year round.

I have to say that I have a much more clear view of how christmas actually is as opposed to seeing through rose-colored glasses as a kid. When I was young christmas was always a joy, especially because my grandmother was alive. Maybe it;s because of her that everyone got along. Since she has died, everyones true colors have come to the surface and the family is like a fragmental mess. Noone gives two shits about anyone. And even the simplest of requests seem like the removal of a limb. :/ This year I will be celebrating with my husband and I don't plan to go to anyone's house except maybe on boxing day because a friend of the family (who I consider more family than my actual blood relatives;; sad) will be holding a get together. That and the fact that it's most unlikley to face my grandfather since they dont get along. LOL.

Yes, I get exactly what you're saying. It is neither your boyfriend nor your family's place to tell you what to do. Last I checked, you're not a kid anymore right? As for me I think that Christmas has gotten to be too big. It's one thing to start putting up stuff in November, but to do it before even Remembrance/Veterans day (idk if your guys is the same date as us but in canada we have it on the 11th).. I think that;s fucking disrespectful as shit. Even if I never do wear a poppy. In the recent years they have put out stuff for christmas EVEN BEFORE Halloween has gone by.. Fucking stop it. Halloween was a big thing when I was kid and now people do fuck all and it pisses me off. Halloween was about fun now it's like 'oh, you might get your parents to buy you a box of chocolate' and that's about it. No one decorates, No one dresses up, shit, convenience stores don't even give you candy anymore because of the 'potential to be sued'. It's all about saving your own ass and that's sad. Where did the humanity go? That's right, it's getting replaced by robot-ism. On the positie side, I do enjoy the deals you can get at christmas. For someoen like me it's a good time to buy that one thing you've been wanting for a decent price (provided you do your research and compare prices and all that..) But when it comes to buying stuff because of 'in the moment i need that' syndrome, then there's a lot of waste. :/ .. Sorry this kinda turned into a semi-rant. x__x

@Tuijp: xD

@Glume: oh that's awesome I'm really interested in getting one now! Where did you buy yours from the actual website or I'm ordering for Canada because I'm Canadian and naturally are dollar isn't worth nearly as much as the US dollar is. Where do you think would be the cheapest place to buy one if I was to online and not on their website? I know with Cyber Monday coming in a few hours actually LOL that there's going to be some pretty decent deal so I want to take advantage of that but I'm not quite sure where to shop would have the best deals.

Let me first say thank you so much for all the resposes everyone! I really appreciate all the insight. =)

@Glume: That's an interesting idea.. I will look into it. Do you know if it has palm recognition? Cuz that really sucks x'D Do you have any experience dealing in the ipad realm? *o* Thanks so much ^w^


@SirLionelNigelConrad: Yes, I've been told that the ipad is one of the best options for on screen standalone drawing devices. Which model have you used? (There's like a kagillion)

Hi all so as you know I'm an artist and I've been drawing since as long as I can remember really. I've been in search of a drawing tablets that you can draw on the actual screen. Now I've looked up some stuff online and I've narrowed it down to either the Windows Surface Pro and iPad Air / iPad Pro or any other type of iPad I don't really know what the differences are if someone could help me distinguish the difference is between those that would be great. And the Wacom cintiq. I was really wanting to get the iPad Pro but that's just way too much out of my budget at this time. I already own drawing tablet that plugs into the computer via USB cable but that's not what I'm looking for right now. I tend to draw kind of big so something that has a big screen is kind of what I'm looking for as well as a decent amount of storage because I don't want it crapping out on me or being a slow as a snail like the one I have now... Any and all tips especially from artist would be great thanks so much for reading!:-)

PS sorry for the run on sentences I'm actually using my phone's voice recognition LOL

Also another note if you're taking an artist off of deviantART there should be some type of a reporting feature on that if you haven't received any updates within a certain amount of time. Or if they don't finish their work at all. The same can be said for PayPal because PayPal has what they call a reporting desk. I bought a bunch of stuff off of eBay and whenever I've had any problems with Goods being delivered I can always create a ticket with PayPal saying that my item was not shipped or received.

Speaking from someone who hasn't really bought any real life cash commissions most artists that charge ask for half of the payment up front and I hold that just in case you back out or something not saying that you would but just generalizing. Usually this is non-refundable even if you end up not liking what they're making. That being said most artists are kind and usually send you work in progress updates before the final is done that way if they have anything that needs to be changed they can do so during the sketch process and not when things have been started to color. If you're worried about when it comes to trusting people I would go with somebody that's well-known and has a lot of good positive feedback.

@MimikyuToo: Looking forward to it ^_^
