I occasionally do commissioned work that doesn't involve contracts or anything like that. It can bring in a solid amount of money some months, but is pretty erratic overall. If I could take it purely as cash, I would, but that's not feasible. I was getting it paid straight into PayPal, but fees...
I've been a traditional media artist for a while, but recently I've seriously debated the merits of breaking out into digital art. The major issue I face is hat I don't have a drawing tablet of any description, and no real idea what kind of programs to use with it. Do any art-focused Kiwis have...

Hello there, Kiwis. For the past few months I've been working on what is essentially a forum-based roleplaying game that I can comfortably administrate while I'm in college. Now that I have everything set up, I'm looking for places where I can advertise it. Since I don't have a vast internet...
