Well here's the deal. Up until Decemder 7th I'm crazybusy (end of term assignments), after that I'm FREE (unless something comes up, knock on wood).

I might submit some more photoes before that, but I'll have no time to finish pics. After the 7th, I promise that I'll soon have some new artwork up, both original and fanart, including a new Akatsuki Flower episode. So please have patience.

I've now bought/ordered a new tablet that I should recieve through the mail sometime within the next week.

I ended up buying a Wacom Bamboo Fun medium. It's drawing area is smaller than my previous tablet and will probably take some time getting used to but hopefully (I really hope so) this tablet will prove better and more reliable than its pedecesors. Considering what I've heard about Wacom, my hopes will hopefulle not be in wain.

First pic up:
I have a Sakura pic lying on the computer that is almost done and that I hope to finish soon after recieving the new tablet. It's a xxxHolic inspired pic and only needs some more coloring and small touches. It's a trade pic depicting Sakura as a geisha/maiko/oiran/tayuu (mixture) and I can't for the life of me remember who the trade was with (it's been a while). I remember that I requested a pic portraying Sakura performing genjutsu in return. If that person reads this give a shout.

I have many more partly done pics that will come next. In periods when I'm not overwhelmed my all the pensum that I have to read...

Well my tablet is being as moody when it comes to drawing as me and that is not a good thing. Whenever I want to draw it doesn't agree, so I'm considering buying a new (this time proper) one, even if this mean that I'll have to spend most of my birthday money and live of instant noodles for the next month. (P.S. This is probably the main reason why I've lately only posted photos, those I can finish with only the use of a mouse).

Do you guys have any suggestions for good ones? I've heard some people recommend the brand Wacom, is that a good one? Would any of you recommend any particular tablet.

As soon as I get a properly working (and hopefully better) tablet again finishing my pics will go so much smoother.

Back again.

The reason for the pause in updates have been that I've been studying for an exam that I finished today (note the angel chorus in the background) so now I actually have some time (a pause) to do stuff I want before I have to finish two semester assignements at the end of May and start of July.

Just recently I found an old burned CD with some of my old digital photos that I've been looking for and thought I'd accedentaly deleted. Amongst these photoes there are a lot of awsome animal photoes (snowleopards, owls, wolverines ect) from a big Swedish ZOO named Nordens Ark (The Northern Ark). I'm going to go though them this week and post some of my favorites.

I've also finaly gotten a newer version of Photoshop, up until now I've been using version 6.0 and 7.0 -_-; . I'm now planning on using some time reading instructions, tutorials ect. learing tricks and how to use this Photoshop version properly. This means that there might take some time before I have some new non-photo pics/drawings up. In the meantime enjoy the photoes and hopefully my drawing and photoshopskills will improve and the wait will be worth it.

Hi! My old (about 5-years-old laptop) is in the stage right before the deathcramps sets in, so I ended up buying a new laptop a couple of days ago and am in the process of getting used to Windows Vista (used to XP - Home Edition) however I've run into a problem. My old Trust tablet and my new laptop does'nt get along.

The problem is that the laptop seems to missenterpret the distance which I move the pen. My tablet is about 30x23cm/9x12inches, and should represent the whole screen, however when I move my pen about 2cm/less than an inch it moves across the whole screen.

This makes drawing pretty much impossible.

I've already installed, uninstalled and reinstalled the two available Vista versions of the tablet drivers that I downloaded from the Trust site(not on the same time) but the problems just reoccurs. I cant find a way to adjust it either. If anyone knows how to solve this problem or have advice it would be great if you left a comment.
