hey guys. looks like im back
last you've all heard from me was when i was struck in a hit-n-run car accident. i was in bad shape there for a while. and since then, a lot has changed. but ill try not to make this TOO wordy.
there is a mass in my chest, needing removed. im diabetic now. im officially in a wheelchair now. i need to be accompanied everywhere i go. my heart is acting up. im on so many meds that i take edibles to manage all the side effects. iiiiiim a hot mess. and medically, its a juggling act.
which is why ive been basically absent. constant doctor appointments.
i was away because i physically was unable to keep working on my computer as my setup was previously. i had my tower hooked up to the tv at the foot of my bed, where id lay on my belly and draw on my tablet, face like a foot from the tv. it wasn't ideal in the first place. but after getting payout from my insurance, i was able to use a bit of it to get a hospital grade wall mounted screen arm, and its mounted above my bed.
the reason im only NOW writing this, is because even with the wall mounted screen, i wasn't able to get on because my tower was over 10 years old, and even with 3 different adapters i could not get my screen to display my old computer.
so today, with the help of my mates mother. we got a new tower.
i have programs to purchase, settings to customize, things to transfer and organize. y'all know how it is.
but im on my way to making my return.
and no, your art has not been forgotten. im just taking this new life of mine one step at a time.

getting new programs, and equipment is gonna run us some costs as well. if anyone wants to be a sweetheart and donate. shoot me a message!
its gonna take some time to get my art program back and all the bells n whistles installed again but i cant wait to be back with the community again
Id ask what kind of programs you're looking for, as there a LOT of alternatives these days for art programs.
Equipment wise is...tougher... though second hand, open box, and lightly used can bring the costs down a lot.
I mess with computer stuff (Hardware mostly but some software) so i'm not in the shallows knowledge wise, but im no know it all either :P
It was like 35 bucks, so very reasonable.
Now I just need a large lap desk. The one I'm eying is like 90.
May need to wait till next month for it, but I'm patient.
I know of a few dozen styles but the best ones seem to be ABS or wood on my preferences (lightweight and strong, plus easy to fold away, but robust enough to hold and work with just about any laptop/pad)
This ones been a good small one for a long while now, but not really the most comfortable wrist wise but the adjustability is nice, plus the little tray is great for keeping extra batteries, pens, and Thumb drives handy, only complaint ever was that the legs bow out to hold it up and weight over time made the legs wear out their hinges.

This one we tested worked well if you had a couch or chair you liked using (our case was a wheel chair) so its a little more mobile, but that also means larger footprint and not nearly as big as others, plus fewer features.

This was the beast my mates decided on eventually since we're all a bit on the bigger side hips and legs wise heh, plus has a storage drawer like the first one, but she IS a hefty bitch at almost 8lbs, but... is one of the best we've found to date.
