Technical Difficulties

I just thought this was funny and wanted to tell people about it. With the last doodle Just Like That. I wanted to make a comic that showed a bunch of pleasured looking faces. What I did was I drew the faces first and then the body, and then copied the body and made multiple folders, one for each panel. I use lots of layers just in case I mess up on something and need to go back, and thus I don't need to redraw a bunch of stuff and if I do it won't mess up anything else.
This was clearly too much for IbisPaintX to be okay with. Anyway, when I later increased the size of the canvas so I could make it a comic and include multiple panels, it took so long for it to load, and right before the bar was full, it crashed. IbisPaintX had to rebuild the whole thing and that took a while. But I eventually got it back and started putting all 4 folders into their own panels. It then crashed and needed to be rebuilt 2 more times during this final stage, to the point where I just rendered what I already had into an image, and started a new image to add the rest of what I wanted (the blush and dialogue)
Because I was no longer working in the original project anymore though, there was a big issue I couldn't fix. Right before I uploaded it, I realized I forgot the tails! I sometimes do that, but most of the time I can just add them in at the end, and there's rarely any layering issues because I make so many I can just slot it in seamlessly without disturbing anything else about the pic... But this time the pic was already rendered, the shadows were applied, the brightness was tweaked. I needed to go back into the original project file to add them in and I was far too tired to do that, so I just accepted that there'd be no tails.
Anyway, that's my funny story, not that funny but thought I'd tell it anyway.
