Hey watchers! I'd really like to get into digital painting... except that I lack a tablet (everything thus far has been done with a mouse). In theory I could do it with a mouse, but it seems more impractical and time consuming than it needs to be.
The thing is that I don't know where to start. I did a bit of research about a year ago and from what I've gathered is that Bamboo Fun is the way to go to start? But, I'd like some input from actual tablet-owners who can tell me what's what.
-I'm looking for something that is fairly cheap. I don't want to make a huge investment if I'm going to potentially back out (seems unlikely but you never know). I think $100 is the absolute max I'd spend on a tablet (although my bank account would cry) although $70-80 or possibly cheaper is more ideal (I'll probably be buying from amazon or ebay)
-Something that is user friendly. I can still barely handle all the fancy doo dads on my Mac xD

Would anyone be interested?
I'm thinking about opening commissions of:
Traditional art
-character concepts/design? (fantasy, realistic, horse, wolf, fantasy species, maybe human/humanoid?) http://sta.sh/0192z9cmoq5t http://sta.sh/021vyyv7of0
-portraits? http://darkheart9595.deviantart.com/art/Everything-401299580
I'll have to look into the legal aspect of celebrity portraits but I can also do horse and maybe other creatures (I'll add a recent horse portrait later that hasn't been posted to dA yet that I think is decent). Also, if you'd like I can color but I am honestly not good at coloring haha so best products are produced in B&W

This horse...
Holy crap help me. I've been drawing this critter a ton lately. 5 pictures I've drawn already and it wont leave my head :( I started a few of those as gift pictures. Then I forget what I'm doing and draw that unicorn. It's taking over gifts :|
*end vent*
Art theft
I'm pretty damn sure that these are stolen.

is quite obviously scanned from a photo and you can find the other pictures via google images with a simple description of the horse. The images come up on different websites.

I guess people have tried to ban this person but no action has been taken? Seriously? I did drop a passive aggressive comment, I'm trying to restrain myself. It really bothers me that it has been over a year since this person has been caught but not yet banned. They may not have been on for a hell of a long time but these pict
So... The Hobbit
The movie was good, but it bothered me. I will not give out any spoilers, but its just that there are usual logical things that I had an issue with.
Things that bothered me of no importance to the story itself:
-dafuq were the giants standing on?
-they could have flown there!! (you were thinking it too)
-goblin king scene? did anyone else notice similarities to Fellowship of the Ring?
-they were definitely trying to draw out the movie, I think. Some of that stuff could have been cut to not make for a 3 hour long movie.
-is the brown wizard just really high?
-are they trying to redeem Elrond? They kind of took away alot from the charact

Since you're a bit tight on money, I suggest picking up something from Wacom.com, in their Bamboo series.
I have a Bamboo Capture and it picked it up for $110(tax included!), and it's lasted me through all the stupid things I've put through, including spilling coke on it, dropping it, leaving it in a box to collect dust when my computer didn't(extra points on how they're understanding xD). I've had it a few years and haven't spent any money on it for repairs or anything.
You can check a local Best Buy, they always sell a wider variety than what you think and their prices are more than reasonable.
