Drawing Tablet Giveaway!

[TomFulp]

To celebrate the season of giving, we’re giving drawing tablets to a handful of artists here on NG! This year we’ve chosen the XP-Pen Deco 01 V2. This isn’t a sponsored event or paid endorsement; it’s the tablet we chose based on artist feedback in recent months. If you have very strong feelings about a similarly priced tablet, feedback is welcome.

One big caveat is we will only be giving tablets to US residents. Tablets will ship directly from Amazon to the artist, avoiding the headaches and shipping expenses associated with this event in previous years. If you are under 18, please get permission from your parents before applying.

If you are in need of a drawing tablet and consider yourself a worthy candidate, please PM me with the following information:

1. Why you need and what you hope to achieve with a new drawing tablet.
2. Links with examples of your existing art / animation (your odds improve greatly if you have work here on NG).
3. Your full name and US mailing address.
4. Include your phone number if you're ok with that, for Amazon delivery support.

Your name, mailing address and number won’t be used for anything outside of the Amazon delivery, unless Amazon does something with that later, which is out of our control. Only a select number of candidates will receive tablets, so manage your expectations.

It’s ok if you already have a drawing tablet, assuming it’s broken / not working well.

At the moment I can’t say how many tablets we will be giving out. If you want to help raise the bar by sponsoring this event, use the donation option on the Supporter page and PM me a heads up you donated towards the tablet giveaway - there’s really no ceiling on how many we could give away, given the funds.

Great news! Good times for NG artists. Xinxinix is the greatest gift to the art portal btw.

[Adjule]

Ohh, looks brilliant! This will definitely come in handy for folks just getting into digital art.

I already got a iPad with a Apple Pen, so I'll skip out on this. Good luck toward anyone that needs this! I'm going to opt for a yearly supporter status to help increase the amount of tablets sent out.

wtf why i need be from EE UU? im from Spain...... wow discrimination

[Cyberdevil]

Feels like the peeps who might need these most probably live outside the US, but them international shipping costs really be getting gnarly lately, understandable limitation... home turf first too of course.

Awesome initiative with this. Might change some lives for real.

Congrats to the chosen few!

[Silverelick]

Long since upgraded to a Screen tablet Xp pen 15.6 pro. Highly recommended btw, but yeah XP pen is a pretty good brand, you can't go wrong with one, i hope who ever wins it gents the most out of it.

Have you read well the post? Due to problems with shipping costs, the delivery can only be in the U.S.

[Little-Rena]

I would love a tablet, but I live in the UK, and my art isn't very good, but I do think a tablet would making drawing a bit more accsessible for me, as I have muscular problems, drawing with mouse hurts a lot! On the other hand, a tablet is probably wasted on me, because my art ain't good looking! Anyway, good luck to everyone who goes for it, looks like a cool prize!

[Ozone]

Dude this is awesome! Giving out the means to make some sweet art! :7

[matt-likes-swords]

I like my Wacom Cintiq, but I feel it's way overpriced for what it is. I'm glad you're giving other brands a try, Wacom needs some more competition!

[ForNoReason]

@tomfulp you are just the swellest!

Also in b4 @luis

[Anonymous-Frog]

I want no part in this giveaway because I already have my own drawing tablet. I call it: ze mouse!

[Urichov]

Hopefully whoever needs one can get one. Personally I have a tablet but I never use it, even granting that I probably should, since I'm so accustomed to drawing with a mouse.

My brother! I have the artist 15.6 pro too! Big Xp-Pen fan and hopefully people start caring about them more than the con-job Wacom.

[Razor-Chain]

what if somebody from the uk wanted to take part

[GGAaron]

This is really cool of you guys. I'll spread the word. I know of some people who might be in need of replacement equipment

[jjk1029384756]

Great idea Tom. 'Tis the season of giving after all (well almost). I personally would like to have a drawing tablet, especially to finish my friend's memoriam, but I'm not worthy for it. NG artists are some of the most creative people I've ever seen and anyone who gets a tablet really deserves it.

[Urichov]

ngl egoraptor showing up to help with this one is pretty poggers

[ElPunchiRomano]

Man, sucks that it's only in the US, it makes sense tho
