I definitly recomend a wacom. There are other tablets out there that are just as good... but from the tablets I've tried in the past wacom's tablets were the best I've come across, there also the tablet we use for our drawing in the gaming studio I work at, so its a really good brand
3nodding There pricing and different tablets they offer are found here on there web site, you'll have to click what country your from first before you can see how much they coast in your region.
http://www.wacom.com/index.htmlI know they also offer these tablets in places like future shop and computer stores. But this will vary according to were you live : )
As for the not posting so much no need to appologies for that. It would be great to see you around the guild more often, but its in no way shape or form a must. : ) guilds are just a place were users with similar interest can hang out and chat with each other, participate in contest and stuff like that... its for fun so don't feel bad about it : )
