i do have a huion but i'm pretty sure it's a slightly older model than the Camvas 24,that said i really like mine and haven't had any issues with it. the only thing that might give you trouble is the colour settings being different than on most screens, but afaik that's an issue on cintiqs as well

I vaguely remember having some issues with the pen calibration forever ago but like. i solved that and barely remember it happening at all so it was probably just me messing with the settings a liiiiiittle too much LMAO

best of luck with the purchase! i was also really nervous about getting mine but it worked out for me so hopefully it does for you too!

thank you!! it's been sorta tricky to settle on which model I want since so many of the reviews for huions end with "if you're just a hobbyist and not a professional this is a great pick!" and I'm like but I AM a professional, does this mean I SHOULD be getting a more prestigious one?? why is there a disclaimer attached??

I'm also a board artist so I'm not sure how much it matters to me if the colour is not 100% perfect, every video review I've seen so far features illustration and like. I AM also an illustrator and comic artist but I'm getting this for the sake of my career in animation not just my hobbies so I wanna make sure it's at least good for boarding lol

I have to say I haven't heard amazing things about huion's customer service and that's making me nervous, issues with technology are bound to happen whatever you get and the idea of getting locked in to a company that might not help you fix it freaks me out

Israel has deployed auto-firing quadcopters that emit the sounds of crying babies.

There is no possible reality where this is in any way capable of being passed off as self-defense. It was never self-defense. It is, and always has been, a genocide.

Crying babies. Crying babies. This is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, meant to draw out and kill civilians while also making it far more difficult to locate and aid children who are trapped or alone.

If you have money to spare, please consider donating to some of the fundraisers on Operation Olive Branch to help people escape this genocide.

End the occupation. Free Palestine.

I'm nervous bc all the videos I've seen have made them seem really nice but a lot of written reviews I've seen have made them seem like a hassle that just stop working randomly and ALSO so many reviews say things like "if you're not a professional, it works great! :)" and I'm like but I AM a professional and I've literally put off getting a pen display for so long bc I'm scared of shopping for tech and I've only ever worked on cintiqs before which I know work really well but the cintiq I want is literally $4000 and that's so scary!!!!!!! I can get the same size with another brand for under $1000 and I like that idea way more but I'm so scared that I'll wake up one day three years from now and be like hm this is bad and wrong I should've got the more expensive one

does anybody have a huion kamvas pro 24?? I'm thinking of getting one bc it's cheaper than a cintiq and I'm scared to spend so much money but my brain is stuck in "the more expensive one is better" mode and I'm getting nervous wondering if it's a bad decision :S I've watched a lotta reviews and it seems nice but I'm still scared fdgfdhfghf

Would u mind sharing more abt current plot of swan? 👀 every time i see these gals i smile and wait for more

I only have a rough outline right now but the main deal is that it takes place entirely in Sidhe, no human world to speak of, and humans and faeries exist sort of side-by-side but in a more "we don't talk to each other much and if you meet one you're lucky to escape alive" way. there is a new main character and they're a human with zero powers and they have a quest to go on to collect some special items and Keira is one of the first faeries they meet on their travels, and they make a deal with her to accompany them on their quest in exchange for a favour (unspecified), and Keira reluctantly agrees to it. so Keira and our MC are the main characters, and Keira becomes a guide/mentor of sorts.

also to answer this question I just got bc it's relevant:

all the main character in Swan WILL still be in the revamp but I haven't decided yet just how much they'll all appear. Cailín obviously has a much bigger role than the others, and Will & Sky comparatively have bigger roles than the rest of the remaining cast, but because it's still in such early stages I haven't quite decided where I wanna take this because at the moment it's sort of looking like it's going to be kind of long and that takes um. a lotta planning lol. If I have my way I'll be able to include everyone a nice amount but it's still too early to really say much haha

This is random but I absolutely hate how people assume that having something as a special interest (or hyperfixation) means that you have extensive in-depth knowledge about it. Especially since it’s mostly neurotypical people guilty of this (though I’ve seen plenty of nd do it as well.) We’ve been told an annoying amount of times that “you don’t actually have a special interest in x, you hardly know anything about it” by people who have a lot of background in the subject. Like no where in any description of a special interest does it say it makes you an expert in the subject. Some people only fixate on the idea or aesthetic of their special interest. Some only on a surface level knowledge of it. Some people just simply aren’t compelled to dig deeper. I’ve never had the urge to look much into learning more about most of my spins, and when I’ve forced myself to I end up bored and don’t pay attention to whatever I’m researching.

I just need people to understand that having a spin doesn’t require substantial knowledge in the area to be valid. We just want to casually talk about what we already know and maybe learn little tidbits from others without being told “educate yourself” or that we’re invalid.

"I think Pacific Rim is unrealistic now because instead of everyone banding together to defeat COVID, the governments just gave up and abandoned everybody-"

Are you kidding me? Pacific Rim 100% predicted this kind of thing. That's literally what the Pacific Perimeter Program was about. Once the PPDC decided fighting kaiju was too expensive, they just gave up and chose to ignore the problem by putting it behind a big wall. Pacific Rim is literally about the people who were abandoned by the institutions that were supposed to protect them and kept on trying anyway.

The biggest scam your brain is telling you is that everybody else is human and allowed to make mistakes but that you yourself have to be perfect and flawless to deserve their company
