I think it was the old payment structure. Now they pretty much force you to pay for CC service. They purposely make single app sub unappealing.


Anyhoo, I just ordered XP-Pen Deco Pro Medium. It's on sale for RM339.
I used to draw using mouse + Paint.NET like years ago.
Wanna take a stab at digital art again.
I love POSCA pens arts, but the damn thing is too damn expensive.

Hopefully can emulate the effect digitally.

I'm risking it with warranty.
I got mine from Lazada's XP-Pen's shop. I think they are the official store cos the price is pretty much the same with the online sale for the official store (timing of sales too).
Just that the warranty gonna be a hassle cos they don't have XP-Pen Malaysia here.

I'll let you know once my item arrive and if I have any problems.
I'm getting a non-wacom cos the price is a fraction of Wacom's equivalent.
The tradeoff is of course, probably won't last as long. But I reckon by the time it stops working, I already used it enough to need an upgrade.

I'm still undecided with what software to use. Like I said, I used to use Paint.NET lol. Back in my days, that was the only option for free painting software.
Now have Krita, Paint tool sai, medibang pro, clip paint studio.

I heard medibang pro is decent.


Did you know that there was a "free" Adobe CS2 in 2013?

They pulled the plug in December 2013.
