char. ref. commission

You can also plug a 2 button PC mouse into a mac and right click.  I do that when I have to work with a mac.

Dinsu is right, you hold the splat or command key and click on something to get the context menu, which is the same menu you get if you right-clicked in windows.  Then you can save the image, I believe.

I'm on the latest 'Macbook OS X' model and it doesn't have an apple key. I'm not sure whether there is another key in place or whether I'm supposed to do everything using the on-screen buttons. Either way, clicking is . . . difficult on this thing. My mouse pad is one giant button where the lower half can be used to click and moving my fingers across the whole thing moves the cursor. I'm still getting used to it. I'm more accustomed to a traditional mouse.  :P

Theres likely some simple way to save images somehow, I'm working my way through the manual and checking through everything on the computer I was supposed to look at when I first bought it.

If you can, spend $60 and get a USB wireless laptop mouse.  Very small, but very portable, and VERY much worth it!  Touchpads suck.

[Renwaldo]

Yeah, touchpads do suck.  :-\

Apparently they die quicker than most mice as well. My brother's lasted two years on his macbook, whereas the laser mouse the four of us use on the desktop pc is three years old now and still operating.

So, I just quit work this week.  :)

I will still be buying a commission eventually, just not until I have an income again. I don't feel comfortable spending money when I'm not making any to replace it.  :P

Feel free to continue posting in this thread. Even though I'm not quite in any position to buy, I am still shopping for artists.
For those who've already offered, please don't be offended that I'm not ready to pick one of you to work with yet, I just like having a variety to choose from when it comes to my purchasing any kind of product.  :)

Hey, revival.

I've decided bugger on my unemployment. If I don't get character ref. profile sooner or later how will people know what I look like?  :D
Any of you guys still here? Anybody still interested? My character is pretty basic and I'm willing to pay good money.  ;)
I just want to have something down to secure some sort of identity for myself.

[Dinsu]

Still interested! (: Note me if you want.

Dinsu ma dear you got the job! :D

Ironically I still haven't figured where/how to save images on this computer. DX
I'll find someway to explain to you what look I'm going for. I'll pm you the details.

The other thing is my lack of a line of credit. Would it be alright if I paid you in person? I'm afraid there isn't any other way.  :-X Are you going to the bowling game this month?

[Dinsu]

You can get a Paypal account without a credit card, just attach it to your debit account. No, I am not going to the bowling game but we could figure something out if necessary.

Add me on msn via tanaramon@hotmail.com
Or e-mail me via lacunawolf@gmail.com

[Renwaldo]

I don't have debit either. . . just cash.

Anyways added your email! Would you rather I email you the details?

[Renwaldo]

Or pm you?
Or post here?
???

[Dinsu]

So sorry Ren! Just flew in from Regina a couple days ago and am still adjusting.
Please e-mail me the basics and hopefully I'll catch you on MSN soon!

Thanks so much for your patience. (:

[Renwaldo]

Well, it's spring now. I realize I never managed to pick a day to get together to pay you.  ??? Want to try again? Sorry Dinsu. I still want you to take my commision if you are still willing to do it.

[Dinsu]

Sure thing Ren. Can you wait until the 15th? I am leaving for Cancun on the 6th and still have a web contract to finish.. ):

[Renwaldo]

Yeah, certainly, I can wait for as long as you need. I had thought you had forgotton about me is all. DX
I understand good peices of artwork take time. Please don't feel pressured to get this done anytime soon, I don't want this to be a bother.  :)
