You could try contacting customer support, but I dunno how much help they'll be since your tablet is nearly 2 years old. Worth a shot, if you haven't already done that. Hmm, I knew that company sounded familiar, but wasn't 100% sure where I first heard about it. After some searching, I remember that I was talking to another artist on TBT, feavre, who has a tablet from the same company. I dunno if they have the same one as you.

From what I saw in our past conversations on drawing tablets, they have the Yiynova MSPU tablet monitor and like you said, it's a fraction of the price of the Cintiq. Apparently, in their experience in using both that tablet and a Wacom Intuos4, they mentioned that the Yiynova one has better tracking and pen pressure... at the cost of not as good resolution.

I would say you can contact them, since they might have some better insight, but... I haven't seen them actively on TBT in quite some time now. They do also have a tumblr and DA, so that's another option too. :3

I actually did talk to them for a bit before I made the purchase - or I should say, they contacted me. But that was mostly because they wanted to sell me a "cheaper" one that had been refurbished from having some dead pixels---I said no. I did take the opportunity to ask them some questions, though. The only real problem was... I'm pretty sure they were Chinese and I was having a pretty difficult time understanding their English some of the time (it wasn't that bad, but when talking technical terms, it gets a little jumbled). Anyway, pen pressure is what should be responding well, but it doesn't. It responds in thickness, but not in movement. And other programs I've tried simply don't work at all (like CS5, which would literally only draw straight lines out of nowhere even if I just touched the pen to the screen). But I did mention the drivers in my questions and they said something about them being tricky to find for "old models", which is what my crappy old tablet was. So my best guess is that there's a hidden Wacom driver in my machine somewhere and I don't know how to find it. I googled literally everything I could think of on the matter. I've also reset the pen precision and detection on screen more times than I can count.

Yinova MSP19U is the one that I have, though. (U is supposed to be an improved, better version of the MSP19) As it is, I can't complain too much, because it allows me to digitally color pretty well. And I would have had to give up digital coloring altogether if it weren't for a tablet monitor. My wrist and CT problem was largely in part from digitally coloring with a mouse for over over 8 years. (I definitely don't recommend it.) By using my tablet monitor, however imperfect it is, I can still continue my craft. And without having to drop $2000 on a Cintiq.

But thanks for the tip! If I happen to see that user around/find them elsewhere, I'll ask them about it.
 
Christmas art for my two best friends in the whole world:

Bethy~

And Kaili~

At first, I tried to somewhat-realistically draw their cats (Daisy and Bob), but I gave up. Hahaha. Instead, they have sorta-AC-villager cats. XD But I hope they'll like them! These are kind of birthday/Christmas for both of them (even though I sent them both Christmas gifts in the mail as well), since both of them have December birthdays.

Really hoping they're going to like them. I think they both turned out pretty well. : )

I also really enjoy doing this chibi style. It's comfortable for me and fun to do~!
 
Cute art and cute friends to boot :'D

I hope they love them :>

Nope. Since the first time I used it almost two years ago, it has been acting like that. I even went back and looked at the first piece I ever doodled using it and it has the unstable jittery lines.
 
What was your idea, poppet? If you don't mind me asking.

I'm willing to look into/try just about anything at this point. Not being able to draw smooth lines with a tablet suuuucks.
 
My family technique that has prevented me from buying any new technology 8'D
- Turn it on and off
- Reset your computer
- Uninstall and then re-install.
- Probs your pen pressure settings? Go to control panel and there should be some tablet settings.

Welp - that's what I do when my tablet goes weird.
I've had my cheap tablet for 2 years and I'm not letting it go 8'D

Yeah, I've reset the pen many times and calibrated it all over again. Sadly, it doesn't help anything. I'm just not sure what the problem could be.

I'll just have to deal, I guess. lol I've been working with it for two years already. Sucks that it'll keep my lineart/coloring from improving, but at least I can stay consistent with the quality I have now.
 
I hope no one minds if I vent here for a minute...

It feels incredibly crappy when you mention about being friends to someone and they completely and utterly ignore you. I contacted them in a couple different ways, I saw that they even went to my profile after they read it, and yet they haven't said a word to me. And it feels terrible. I mean, if you don't want to be friends or you're not interested, couldn't you just reply to say that instead of ignoring me straight out?

It's been weeks. I'm trying not to let it get to me, but it does make me feel really bad. Like, I don't know if this person doesn't like me for some reason or what, and it's not like they're inactive---they're very active. But I'm not going to badger them for a response, either. I just feel like maybe I should stop trying.

I promise some art or something later and not another mopey post. I just needed to get that off of my chest.

Hey Amissa, I might not be that much of a great person but I'm always willing to try to help you through any problems if you need someone to talk to, just a heads up!

I've been through this, many times, where I'm trying to make my friends get to know my other friends and they just suddenly give me a blank response and this can last a few days to a few weeks because they don't hate me but they don't want to talk to me because they possibly don't like the person I'm friends with.

I can't suggest to not try anymore unless you feel like you can be without that person who's ignoring you, I won't influence it but whatever you decide to do with them, I hope you're happy with the result.

So I just hope that you know you're not alone here, I'm always here to talk with you if you need to get something off your mind, while I can be very immature and perverted but trust me, I have a good side too!

Also glad you'll be doing more art, I just love coming to this thread to see what you make next!

I know and I appreciate it. : ) I'm not really great at approaching people, so even if they're open to that, I tend not to go looking for someone to dump my problems on or talk to about it. At least, most of the time.

It wasn't like I knew this person well or anything. In fact, I don't know them at all. They merely replied to that post I made about artists connecting and after I responded to them and left a message on their profile, they never bothered responding to me. It does make me feel sad, but at the same time, it's also not like losing a friend I've known for awhile or something, either. It's just really hard for me to approach people, like I said. I saw that pretty much no one was reaching out on that thread and I thought I'd be the first to try. But now its discouraged me from trying to reach out to more people. I don't feel like my ideas really do much to help the community here or anything and I should probably stop making them.

I know I'm not alone, though. I know that well. I'd never claim to be the only one who feels this way. A lot of people on the internet have trouble approaching others and taking the first step. It just sucks when it really took you a lot of confidence to do it and you get flat-out ignored. It's discouraging. But thank you. I don't doubt at all that you're a good person--I've always thought so. And I appreciate what you've said. This is something that I'll have to get over, is all.

I tend to always say I should "stop trying", but I can rarely ever bring myself to. I'll eventually try again when I've picked up the pieces of my self-consciousness and buried my worries once more enough to step forward.
 
And the Tutu crew loves you! :B

I bet they love all the art you do of them!

Alas, too bad they are fictional and therefore so is their love. : (

Btw, I just noticed you have King Koopa from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show in your icon. Talk about a blast from the past. XD
 
OMG so I truly hope I am not like that to you Dx I utterly and truly apologize for not replying for awhile, literally since the holiday and my birthday I just haven't been posting as much on TBT maybe here and there; games are taking over my life</3 *huggles* I would love to continue chatting and would hope you have Skype as VMed you have not done a SINGLE thing wrong and I am sorry if I seemed like a terrible friend I am so sorry >: I will definitely continue to try and keep more in contact as I have been losing touch with TBTers lately, ugh rip me for not replying to many people sooner T_T In any case I can apologize a million times if that helps, I never meant to ignore anyone; hope you can forgive me >: And yes, would definitely like to know if we can Skype, feels easier on my hands xD

Oh, don't worry! That post had nothing to do with you---that was something that has been left hanging for weeks and didn't even get acknowledgement---that's why it bothered me. But I wanted to make sure I hadn't upset you is all! I'm relieved to hear that I haven't. So please don't worry about it! Enjoy your games as much as you like! I'd never consider someone a bad friend over being busy/enjoying other things. I just wanted to make sure things were cool---that's just due to my own personal concerns because most of the time I never know if I have upset someone or not. It's nothing against you, I promise. You don't need to apologize or need forgiveness! Sorry if my worries made you feel bad. : ( That wasn't my intention.

OMG glad to hear it and glad to put your worries to rest : ) I again am sorry if something felt off, but alas I still love you, Amissa<(^_^)> Yup, blame Zelda/Persona haha been playing these to no end especially since Persona is a continuing style game xD

Good grief though, I am so sad to hear you have to deal with someone else who is like that >:

I shall definitely try and keep up with what few people I want to stay in contact with including you ;D

'Tis the season to be playing video games! Hahaha. But really, no more apologies! I just wanted to check in with you and everything. :3

I suppose I'm just not good enough to be their friend, but that's okay. We live, we learn, we put our efforts where they're wanted and appreciated. : ) I won't be wasting them on that person anymore. I just wonder why they bothered to post on the connection thread in the first place. *shrugs*

I appreciate it, but seriously, no worries! Take things at your own pace. I'm just glad to hear I hadn't upset you.

Maaaan it's going on 5AM soon. And I gotta bake pork pies today. I better sleeps. XD
