He's A Shoe Man, So Why Wouldn't He Share His Love For Shoes With People He Likes? Especially When Said

He's a shoe man, so why wouldn't he share his love for shoes with people he likes? Especially when said person can wear all different kinds of shoes.

The next year Mailo is at NRC he bonds with Floyd. They become buddies and Floyd spoils him, much to Jade and Azuls chagrin.

(I got a whole story for Mailo now. Him, Leona, and Floyd, all buds in the future, just so much story)

In The Meantime, I'm Just Gonna Keep Reblogging Everything Here On Main.

I still haven't heard from @support about this blog being shadowbanned (ok but seriously is it really shadowbanned or is there something else happening?) I would really like to have my dms on this side blog and the traffic back so bad.

It gives me the tiniest boost of serotonin, which is really helpful right now with [insert personal irl problems].

Has this ever happened to you?!
person speaking: "okay I'm a big boy artist now, I've had this graphics tablet for x years, I should move up and a display tablet is the obvious choice!!

presenter: "HOLD UP!!! maybe it isn't? don't assume that a display tablet IS the automatic right way to go!"
i think there is a general idea that display tablets > pen tablets

but for me and others, display tablets don't offer any benefits compared to pen tablets!

i certainly had the belief when i was younger that i would eventually move to a display tablet once i saved up enough to buy one.

turns out, display tablets dont offer me any benefits and i actually dislike using them quite a lot!

Pen tablets have many pros!

- POSTURE. (save your back!) - your hand isnt in the way (via technology now you can see the whole drawing all the time) - save ยฃ$โ‚ฌ (wow are they cheaper) - smaller (transport very easily!)

on a personal note i find my lines are far more gestural on a pen tablet and i physically dont have to draw as large a line on my tablet than i would on a pen display which is more efficient 

HOWEVER...
the one pro a display tablet has over pen tablet is 1:1 hand position

for many artists this is a huge deal and the reason they prefer display tablets over pen tablets.

its is a easy swap if you are a trad artist moving to digital or frequently swapping between the two!

...and i absolutely hate this, not only does my back hate me after several hours (yes even with good positioning of the tablet) my gestural strokes vanish and my godamm hand is in the way.

BUT this is the main reason artists prefer display tablets.

pen tablets do require practice to get used to, and hand-eye co-ordination can take some time to train so if that's something you're struggling or just don't fancy worrying about, pen displays are great!
the point of this is to simply say:

if you get on with your pen tablet right now, don't think in the future, you definitely have to "upgrade". in fact, you might not get on with display tablets at all!
don't think you have to go and spent many dollars on an expensive piece of hardware that might add no benefits to you art/life
if possible, try before you buy, display tablets do not fit all artists, i'd rather be dead and buried than be told i have to use a display tablet for the rest of my life but this is not the same for everyone.

Ipad speaking: "but you own me??"

presenter speaking: "yeah so i dont have to lug a whole ass laptop around when i travel. i hate you"

a couple of people over the past few months have been surprised i use and prefer a pen tablet over a pen display so i thought i might do a little graphic about why pen displays shouldn't be thought of as the "final step" of every digital artist's hardware journey, more of a branching path option!

I did it... I actually drew my Tav and Astarion...

I Did It... I Actually Drew My Tav And Astarion...

Tavlyn is a Seldarine drow, born in Menzoberranzan to a Lolth priestess and a low life male named Ristal (Seldarine as well) Tav was to become a priestess as well but Ristal didn't want that and kidnapped him and brought him to Luskan, where he grew up.

His marking is a "blessing" from a Sune priest who was obsessed with him. (It darkens in color when he falls in love, genuine love, which he develops for Astarion)

ANYWAY! I DREW THEM!
