Question of importance.

keire_keI mentioned I have no tablet at the moment, which has the obvious consequence of there being no piccage*. So. I have the following problem: I need to purchase a Wacom tablet (haven't decided on the specifics yet), but have no money. The solution I had in mind is such: I can offer express commissions. This means I will be offering coloured sketches (I will have examples ready later today, tomorrow at the latest example below), at $10 (up to two characters with minimal background).
Question #1 is: would anyone be willing to support a poor artist?
Question #2 (this for the artist types): is it better to get an Intuos3 A6, or Graphire A5 (my old tablet is A5)? Opinion? Anyone?
* Long story short: my old tablet + a Mac = hardware error. Since I'm temporarily at home, I have the option of connecting it to a PC which does have Photoshop. The problem is, I am not sure about how long will I be home (though I won't be leaving any sooner than August), so it is important that I have a tablet that works. For me. And, I'm hoping, for you too.

For everyone interested: email me at jhkrupa [at] gmail [dot] com with details.
Most of you know what I do (if you don't, see posts with the "art" tags). Additionally, I have confidence that I can do a good sketch of just about anything (although obviously live action fandoms require a little leeway) so do not feel limited to my usual fandoms/pairings.
edit:
As I mentioned, I did manage to aquire a new tablet, but it's not fully paid off yet. Meaning, the commissions are still open, but I'm not taking any more requests at the moment. Once I'm finished with the ones I accepted so far, I will take on an extra batch, I don't know how many. A few people made reservations already, yay! I will post an announcement then.
My managing skills... XD Okay. These are people who sent me emails and received a confirmation:
