So how many people have broken their Nexus 4s over the two years it's been out? I've used mine for a year and knock on wood I haven't dropped it yet...

I don't know how many, but this month there were at least 5 who came to the shop I work at to get it replaced.

O.o wow... You must be part of a pretty big shop then?
 
 
 
Only 7.62mm NATO? Not even 7.62 Russian? Lame. Should've gotten an ammo crate for 50 cal.
 

 
hehe... bought that box randomly anyways...

Where do you even buy those in HK? O.o

Hehe, got myself a new power supply incoming!!!

  I wish I can draw and colour as good as artists on Pixiv. Most artwork on Pixiv have amazing colour work and their lines are spotless clean and sharp.
Compared to my latest just finished now drawing.

I'm around 3 to 4 years behind lol.

That looks pretty good to me.
You are drawing by hand, aren't you?
The vast majority of stuff on Pixiv is digital art. You know, Photoshop/Clip Studio plus tablet.
 
  Talking about favourite artists, here are my three favourite manga/artist:
 
Honyarara
http://nantala-kantala.sakura.ne.jp/e.html
 
Sorano Kairi
http://www.croachimera.com/#!gallery/c1y8t
 
Hiroyuki Asada (he doesn't have a Pixiv account it seems but he does have a blog where he occasionally posts his drawings)
http://www.asadahiroyuki.com/

The first and the last one are really cool!
 
In Korea and got 4 hours to waste...

Kimchi.

The drawing and inking were done by hand but the colouring work was done digitally using Corel Painter X3 and a Tablet.
I tried drawing 100% digitally but I just don't have the precise hand to eye coordination necessary to draw on the tablet. For that I need a Wacom Cintiq which is bloody expensive.
For colouring work, tablets are mostly fine.

By this month, I meant within the last 30 days. My bad! No, it's only the one shop.

Nice!
 
My Fiio E12 has been showing a problem since. The left channel cuts out when I put pressure on the jack perpendicular to the amp. I thought it was the male jack itself but turns out it was the female jack.
I opened the amp and noticed that if I put pressure on the female jack it's fine but I noticed that there are two contacts that doesn't seem to be soldered properly to the PCB.

 
I did an improvised fix with some folded paper so that it puts pressure against it when the case is on. It works sometimes but it's not a permanent fix so I bought this.

That's an electric conductive glue and it works very well and fixed the problem completely.

So I tried drawing all digitally from a blank piece of canvas using Manga Studio.

It's twice the effort for me but at least it will look clean and I don't need to redo everything when I make a colossal mistake. Just readjust a part using the transformation tool.

I used to draw quite a bit when I was young. I stopped a while back but did manage to sketch some anime on my Sketch Book app that actually looked purty professional. Last one I remember was of a flight attendant getting people ready to board the plane. Sadly I deleted it, a mistake...

Looooots of zooooming in and out.

Such small screen
Much painful finger stylus
