I finished the rough draft/loose sketch for a sketch animatic I was doing on flipaclip (specifically for it's audio syncing)
but light accidental pressure on the apple pen while it was on the couch, and the tip slightly bends. Now it doesn't work.
$100 and incredibly fragile & completely irreparable. One of my last pens got broken at the charger port which,
you guessed it: also can't be repaired.

This ipad is ancient, like 1st generation pro I think; and I absolutely cannot justify $100 on another pen, not even as a gift.
(If someone was willing to spend a hundred on something for me, I'd want it to be gas or groceries, not expensive plastic)
It has some minor flaws/damage but hopefully I'll be able to get $150 for it, so some tech bros can refurbish & upsell it.

Thankfully I have a normal non-screen art tablet, and I found out that krita has free animation tools & audio support!
Unfortunately I'll have to re-train my arm & wrist, and export like 100 frames to import into krita one by one orz
But I'm grateful to have this tablet and that I don't have to put together the animatic in like- windows editor
(which I genuinely would have done if I didn't find out about krita lol)

Expect some more fluctuation in my art style for the next couple months because I tend to draw differently on my laptop,
I'll probably (hopefully) be able to practice and experiment during artfight, but we'll see, I feel so busy.
