Curse

The Pen works on batteries I think. I got extra batteries with it if I remember correctly.

I don't recall any of Wacom's products working on batteries. I've had two of their tablets, the now-obsolete Volito and currently a Graphire. The pens work when the tablets work, and even on my old, old Volito the pen kept working for 5 years of constant drawing with no problem. Dunno if it still works, gave it to a friend and haven't heard from it since then. :P
However, it could be that your pen is wearing down from much use... and sometimes, they can have other electrical problems with it. I think your best bet would be to take it to the shop and ask them if they know what you could do about it.

It can't be the over use of it. I only got it since december last year. And I did draw quite a bit but that much...

But indeed I'll be taking it to the shop, though it's not a wacom shop, so they probably need to send it up or something gonna take time, bla bla. Just shit.

It's always nasty to lose your tablet. My Volito lost pen pressure sensitivity right in the middle of a job commission I was doing that had a tight deadline, which forced me to go out and buy a Graphire the very next day with money I really couldn't afford to use on it. :P Then I gave my Volito away to a person who didn't care about pressure sensitivity, and apparently it started working fine again a few days later.
Tablets can be finicky beasts.

I hope you get it fixed soon. And don't worry about the art-trade with me, I can wait.

Oh I also got some extra pins that you put in the top of the pencil. Maybe you should replace that?

Gwee · Jun 06, 2010, 02:46 PM // 14:46

The nip of the pen is only a plastic I think. It's a mechanism in the actual pen which does all the funky stuff.
It still sounds like some sort of software problem I've had myself on and off.

Tommy's · Jun 06, 2010, 02:58 PM // 14:58

I agree with Gwee, but I don't know how I can fix it. I don't think its my pen. Why? Because when I go to Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Pen Tablet Properties nothing happens. I push it, it says my last tasks where that I 'set up my Pen and Tablet' but nothing happens. Like there is a redirection missing or something. Don't know how this suddenly could have changed, and how it's possible that it only affects my pen and not my fingers, its still responding to my fingers. I know I got very prety fingers, but they ain't magical.. Hopefully tomorrow will clear things up.

EDIT: Ok i'm RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed. I plugged the tablet in another computer, and still only reacts on my fingers and not to my pen. So my guess is, that it is the pen after all then. Then if could take some time to get fixed.

Gwee · Jun 06, 2010, 03:23 PM // 15:23

lol!

You can do finger painting on yours? :O Mine doesn't do anything if I touch it with my fingers! Hehe.

Tommy's · Jun 06, 2010, 03:33 PM // 15:33

Yeah I got a Bamboo Fun, which includes Pen en Touch. But I hardly use the touch

Sometimes to navigate, kinda like a Mac Touchpad. But I can finger paint xD Anyone wants a special finger painting? 100e

Gwee · Jun 06, 2010, 03:38 PM // 15:38

Haha, finger painting ftw!
That sounds fun. I hope you're tablet gets well soon.

Perynne · Jun 06, 2010, 11:49 PM // 23:49

Hehe, fingerpainting sounds like great fun!

Mine doesn't do that either.

Maybe take a self-made stylus until your pen gets fixed and use that? Something like a Nintendo DS stylus or one of them touchphone things. I guess a blunt pencil would do too. I don't know how well it would work though, since I've never used the fingerpainting possibility, but if it's a bit like a pen and if your tablet accept other input, it just might work.

InfestedHydralisk · Jun 07, 2010, 01:20 AM // 01:20

What about the sensivety? That could be the problem too.

Tommy's · Jun 08, 2010, 09:25 PM // 21:25

MY TABLET WORKS AGAIN

It just worked again. The mystery is still a mystery, but no longer a mystery that worries me ^^ So gogo drawing time again

At least thursday, still a bit busy, voting time tomorrow.

Ravenhawk · Jun 08, 2010, 10:52 PM // 22:52

Me <3 Nature! And because Femke Halsema is an almost flawless debater, unlike Rutte (what some people seem to say). I take debating classes and you notice alot of tricks and lies that politicians seem to use

PvdA here, this was my first I could actually vote. Didn't expect such a huge list lol.

Tommy's · Jun 10, 2010, 01:55 PM // 13:55

I suck at fire.

Here is a wip of what I am doing for Infested Hydralisk. Just so you know I'm still doing things :P Yay tablet back to work.

Ravenhawk · Jun 10, 2010, 02:20 PM // 14:20

Oh WOW! That's looking really good Tommy!!

Mr. G · Jun 10, 2010, 02:56 PM // 14:56

I think that's awesome fire, really magical and stylized (just what you want for a spell)

Are you going to work under the fire stream? I think it looks good with the fire framing it.

The loose feathers/flames seem lighter than the rest though. But wow! Looking great.
