Life update: PC broke, catching up with commissions soon!
2 years ago
Update 07/07: computer is back from repair and seems to be ok so far, I'll work hard on catching up with all art now!
Hi everyone!
I wanted to post a short update since I know I'm very behind with work right now, for which I'm super, super sorry! I thought the difficulties I'm going through are a matter of a day or two but it got more complicated.
My PC broke and it's repaired for the 3rd time within a month since the IT guys still can't find the reason behind it. Might be the graphics card, which would definitely cost a lot, but once I send invoices for all of the comms I owe (after I do send progress for them of course!) I should be able to cover that. I didn't write a journal about this initially, since the first diagnosis was that it's just the power source and that replacing it will be enough, so I thought I will be PC-less for 2-3 days max, but it's been way, way longer now.
Plus it's just one thing on a pile of a wild, wild month, definitely the most challenging one I've had in years. If anyone's upset with my delays, which is 100% understandable, I can say more details in private, but I don't want to talk about these things in public, just thank you all for patience and understanding, since it's been a wildly unusual month and I really mean it.
I'm currently working on my old PC, but it's terrible for art, and I really mean it - so I can basically just make very small art on it, like icons. Plus anything traditional is obviously possible too, or procreate stuff, so I'm working absolutely all the time now, it's just the larger projects I have to pause until I get the PC back, but I really, really hope it won't take too long. In any case I will keep you updated and I'll happily answer your questions if you have any.
Thank you all, you're honestly the greatest! If anybody would like a refund I can give that too, of course, though I'd definitely rather just finish all of the current commissions, given the card will cost quite a bit. It's your money though, so if any of you would like a return you can message me!

Thank you so much! <3 I've heard there's some update, so I might get it back this week, but I'm being extra careful after the previous tries :' D

PCs can be such fickle things!

They really can! Though I've been lucky anyways, this one served me for 3 years with no repairs so far, even though I use it for quite intense work!
