-- A cry for help. I truly need help. --
9 years ago
Greetings, thank you for clicking the link to my journal. I hope I've got your attention.
I will begin taking emergency commissions starting now.
My laptop is on it's way out. It was a hand me down from someone else. They never took the best care of it but I was in need & I wasn't going to turn down such a fantastic offer.
Since I've had this computer the hard drive was dying, but aside from feeding myself & keeping myself clothed, I could never afford much else, so fixing my computer was out of the question. This means all of my old art is going to disappear. What's worse is that I'll no longer have a device to draw digitally. I can not fully express just how upset I am about all of this.
After losing my phone last December to a thief & having to deal with broken glasses & poor health for the past few years, you would think that some type of good luck would have come along & I would have been able to acquire a proper job, right? Well, sadly, that hasn't been the case.
As some of you might know I've been living off of family & friends for the most part as social assistance won't give me enough to survive on & I have not been able to find a job.
I've moved to Labrador where I have distant family who are taking care of my basic needs but my sense of self is vanishing.
I wish to continue art.
I truly wish I had a sense of stability, I wish I had income.. terribly.
After the struggles the past years with being sick, dealing with abuse from multiple people, essentially being a burden without a proper home, I would honestly just like a little bit of comfort. That's why I'm reaching out.. this is really hard for me.
The past two years (though these issues have been going on far longer than that) I could never really express myself & reach out to you. All of you. So now, I will honestly express that I seem to have hit rock bottom in terms of being able to actually live my life & I am begging you to put the word out or take interest in my art so I can take these emergency commissions to help me fix my computer & get my life into some sense of stability.
Thank you for your time.

Thank you for your time.
Perhaps you could create a commissions page, or post your rates on your front page
:)
I had to delete all the old stuff, now I'm just reworking it!
How much are you wanting for what type of pics? o:
Hopefully once I get enough to cover my jazz I can give you a hand with the kitty & whatever else you need. I'm back & hopefully back to stay this time..
And I will see if I can help out after I get my disaster cleaned up over here. :(
Secondly let me be the mega-nerd that I am and advise you not to get ride of that Hard Drive. There are a few programs out there that can recover data from a drive, SpinRite is my favorite tool. It can take days or weeks depending on the damage to the drive but I have yet to meet a drive that can't be saved at least long enough to pull the data off of it before it's final demise. If you can't do this on your own note me and I'll see what I can do to help you out with that. Though it's inconvenient I may be able to ship you a copy of the software you'd need with some instructions. Another option is shipping it to me and I can work on it, back it up and see if any of the extra drives I have laying around are compatible. It's possible that if the drive can be stabilized it can be backed up, cloned and moved over to a new-ish drive. Always consult with your local mega-nerd before giving up on an electronic device.
Finally I wish you all the best of luck on getting through this tough time in your life. I'm unemployed again myself so I'm not in a position to help you out financially but I'll see if I can get a whip around going and boost.
and your harddrive shouldn't be dying that would be your ram or battery
i've experiencing now ever time my laptop dies and i reboot it and my battery is dying
Here you are, & thank you much for the interest!
Best of luck during these hard times and I can try to put the word out... But that's the most I can do.
I know it can be hard sometimes, and you know, downward. But I think it's gonna be better.
Sometimes it just has to become really dark before the light shines once again.
If there is any way I can help.
And I mean really any way, just tell me.
I'm willed to help, I can't fix everything, but if one lill game artist can create a game, I'm sure we can do something to help in any way.
I'm not the best or confident at thise things but I'll try to help. ^^
