An Unfortunate Announcement
a year ago
Well, seems like due to the Nov. 14th Windows 10/11 update (I'm on Windows 10), I'm not allowed to stream anymore. I've had to deal with a Direct X crashing issue from this computer once before, but now no matter what fix I try to do, the issues persist. Even to the point that I'll either get a bluescreen with the code pointing to that same Direct X issue previously mentioned, or in the case of just now... I get a complete graphics driver crash by way of the screen going black and either it'll come back on its own or not come back at all forcing me to manually restart the computer.
It's because of this I've been looking into buying a new computer. Going for a simple, low grade gaming desktop, but still a gaming desktop so I can do my art work and my upcoming game projects.
So I have to do this... I'm opening commissions right now and they'll have to be worked on off stream due to the current computer issues. The commission prices are going to be updated to as follows:
Digital Badges: $10
SFW Sketch: $10
SFW Inks: $15
SFW Colors: $20
NSFW Sketch: $20
NSFW Inks: $25
NSFW Colors: $30
Additional $5 fee per extra character.
If anyone can help me out and commission me, or if you're feeling generous enough, donate to me. And for my fellow artists, if you wish to help, you can signal boost this journal. If this current laptop keeps degrading at this pace, I might have to fall back to my old Windows 8.1 laptop to do any work...
EDIT: So I should explain something to those of you new to me or those of you who might not remember this. I'm an unusual type of artist referred to as a mimic artist. What does this mean? I can mimic artstyles other than my own. I do have some of my own, but yes, I enjoy challenging myself by drawing in a style found from an anime or a video game. So if you commission me, you can actually request I try a different artstyle for it if you'd like.
Also about more of myself as to my mindset as an artist. I think regardless of the subject matter, art in itself is just fantasy, the imagination given form on paper. So nothing drawn or you have drawn reflects on you as a person. I was also a child of the 80s and 90s, so I enjoy the comics of these times, especially Marvel comics, of which some of my favorites were that of the Silver Surfer. So my own comics tries to live up to those times story wise. I can't say I'm as good at those comics art wise, but nothing stopping me from trying. And you probably guessed that I'm also a fan of anime and video games. This, too, reflects in my art and work.
If you have questions regarding my work and commissioning me, feel free to drop me a note.
In the meantime, until I get commissions in and can replace this laptop with a decent desktop, I'll be working on personal projects. I will list these projects down below. Sort of to give an idea of what I'm doing as well as give me a chance to keep track of what I'm working on. Bare in mind that even if I'm currently working on something I don't mind pausing the work to work on a commission. Especially considering that this is an emergency.
Computer funds goal: $1000
Personally saved so far: $200
Commission gains: $0

But hey! I’m happy you’re open to commissions. Are you open to messenger so we can talk?
2.Choose "Restart now and check for problems"
3.This restarts your PC and it will check your RAM. This process can take some time. about 15 to 20 minutes.
4.During the process, it may say "Hardware problems were detected". If this is the case for you, chances are you found the culprit. If didn't see this appear or you missed it, you can check the results (next step).
5.After the process completes, it will boot back to Windows. You can check this video to see how to find the results.
6.If the result says there were issues found, you found a possible cause of the DirectX crashes. If no issues were found, you can try Memtest86. This is a more comprehensive test of your RAM and chances are this will reveal problems if there are any. This video does a great job of explaining how you can use Memtest86. You will need a (small) USB drive.
7. remove one stick of ram and retest to find which is faulty
I strongly recommend you get a desktop as a replacement. They're way cheaper than laptops and when something does go wrong they're easier to fix or upgrade. Being able to upgrade makes it easier to buy the core bits and get the rest later.
