I would like to have that tablet, as my pen is starting to malfunction, in some part, i do feel guilty asking for this, because at least i had a tablet at some point, while there are other people that never layed their hands on one... but you can see i have enough potencial to make a good use of it (in the given case that you checked my profile).

Hey,
I've been reading your post at the forum and thought I might give it a try...
I've been working with flash since I was 10, got involved into NG and eventually Deviantart. I've been experimenting with AS mainly and never really had any chance to make an animation. Well, I did, I made some with the mouse, but those were never submitted to NG.
For me, a tablet isn't a thing to just animate with... I know, cause my friend has one. It is really easy to use as replacement for a mouse, and especially to draw. I always looked up at the people who could animate, as they could bring life in those grey drawings on paper. They could make people laugh and cry, using video as a powerful source for it. I've always wanted to try, I mean, all people probably want that... it's just great!
I am, except for an artist, also a musician. I already composed around the 50 songs, which mostly are played on piano. Right now I'm started to learn guitar by myself. The thing is, I do think I am creative, and I really have lots of ideas, but a tablet will add a new option to bring those ideas to reality.
Having a piece of paper, drawing something on it, you could stare to it for 20 sec. and then say it's beautiful, but just forget about it. Animation takes people's attention and holds it until you want it to be over. And of course, video even adds more power to music.
My personal favorite is The Composer by JAZZA, I've watched the movie first and found it really beautiful, while just listening to the song alone didn't have me the same, binding effect. What I wish for is the ability to change lives and ways of people, indeed, by my music, and I am sure a tablet will give me a headstart into not only giving more power to my music, but also to spread it around to world!
I haven't been able to buy a tablet due the fact I cannot, legally, go to work. I'll be honest with you, I have enough money to buy it, but my parents won't let me. They don't understand my point of view, and think it's a waste of money. I've tried lots of ways to get one...but without any succes.
To me, you don't have to be so generous to give it. I know there are lots of people who probably have bigger dreams like becoming a real animator etc.
My dream is just to change lives with my music, with art and animation helping me in my way.
Thanks,

Why I Need That Tablet
-by Jacob Campbell
I've been using flash for about 4 years now and I've never once touched a tablet. NEVER. As an aspiring graphic designer, I believe that having experience with a tablet is pretty essential for success in the field. It has uses in almost every adobe program and can breathe a lot more life into one's work. I could hone my frame by frame in flash and finally bring my A game to NG. It's also very useful in Illustrator, letting me having hand drawn vectors instead of click drag click drag click drag vectors. Indeed a great advantage.
I know right there I was simply explaining the uses of a tablet, but it just gets me so excited to think about owning one. On my own though, I don't think I'll be able to buy my own for a good while. I've never really had the backing of anyone for my animations or graphics. I've attained everything on my own and have worked with what I've had.
I started my flash career with Flash 6 on an HP computer with 64k RAM. I used that up until I left my house for college. I was given a 6 year old IBM laptop with about 256K RAM that worked pretty well for animation...up until it was killed in a terrible "Oops I bumbed it on my wooden chair's armrest" accident. I haven't had my own computer since. I've got one lined up for my use in the near future, but it too isn't going to be anything amazing.
Funny story actually about my animation begginings. My first cartoon was made with Windows Movie Maker and MS Paint. You can imagine how fun that was to make. :)
My dad recently died from a brain tumor. This may seem irrelevent to my wanting a tablet, but it actually is somewhat related. This event has made me extremely motivated for change in my own life. I've lost 45 pounds or so in the last few months (I'm veggie now) and I'm trying to gain confidence and ability in my life in general. I want to amp up my abilities in graphic design and get serious about it, too. A tablet would really aid to my cause.
Here's what I can do now fbf with a mouse:

I'm no Luis or anything, but I'd like to be one day. Maybe with your help I could be :P.
Love,

Well... I always wanted a tablet, and my mouse is kinda... Buggy since a while, and it takes so long, drawing with a mouse, it doesn't really show how I really draw too. I think I could make better stuff than I'm doing now if I got a tablet, I could draw higher quality in a faster way than with a mouse.
Thanks! =]

If I had a tablet I'd use it to make my art skills a hell of a lot better. and maybe help you get your site running again :) Also, I wanna try some new techniques with one.
I sent you a private message as to why I need this tablet. It's personal really, so I do not want to share it with the public of newgrounds.
I would definitely put it to good use. I'm an aspiring artist eager to contribute to the Flash community and a tablet would help me do that. I currently take hours to retrace a picture after I scan it in. A tablet could decrease that time considerably. Please, consider myself if you are as generous to give away a free tablet.
give it to me since in my country you cant buy one of those so i might never have one
It's a shame this comes down to name in a hat...I'm terribly unlucky. But I won't hate on your decission. I still have a chance.
One thing I just tought of, why would a tablet come with a mouse?
Haha, isn't the point so you don't need a mouse?
UPDATE DUH PICTURE WITH DUH MOUSE.

Can I please have it? I haven't made any submissions in ages since my drawing skills are teh. I've been wanting to buy a tablet but I'm strapped for cash. I also want to try and make back the money that Flash cost.
Thaaankyou
