4 months ago
General
Hello everyone, The buggu is back with a couple of announcement and updates to share with you! i bet you've been wondering where i've been so I'll address everything that's been going on so far
About work
sooo ive been hunting for a job for the past 6 months. Finding work where i live has been incredibly difficult, especially as the job market was overwhelmed with more people to hire and more people to let go there's a constant demand for work and the market is practically overflowing. I figured that my chances would be the same as everyone elses, and i did have some luck with responses in fast food and retail- the unfortunate side being i couldn't drive to the places that accepted me and i had to consider the cost of busses and other transport versus the gain and experience. For all of that i was using the art to pay my bills which is the reason for my urgency in some days and emergency openings. in that regard i didn't have much luck, BUT a few weeks ago i managed to snag two temporary art related jobs outside of FA that i could put on my resume, so I'm really happy for those opportunities, and as of yesterday i found a place to work right from home! It's part time but its gonna finally get me some experience i need to manage myself, and i start the first of september, so im super excited for that!! this job is actually a really big change and i will have to adjust once it starts, i wont be listing anything for privacy but I'm really happy to be working again
About Life
Recently ive been in a bit of a slump with my mental health. Not being able to get a job or work properly left me a bit depressed, and with no school or much to occupy my thoughts i was put into not the greatest of states. though i started working on myself to fix that, I've been going outside for lengthy walks alot more, usually for a couple of hours just around the block, but i think the air and exercise kept me charged for a little while and ive been feeling alot better. It was a nicer change of pace so i wanted to change my schedule to have those walks every day or at least every once in a while
About Art - update 1
I. FINALLY. GOT. A. NEW. LAPTOP. ITS BEEN ON MY TO DO LIST FOR WELL OVER A YEAR NOW AND ITS FINALLY HAPPENED, two of my friends(I LOVE YOU BOTH BROSKIISSS) helped secure it for me and i'm so thankful for their help, i owe them the entire world and more<33. i just got it today and oh my god its such a massive upgrade to the one ive been using, no hate to the old laptop she's been hanging in there for 5 years and im glad it didnt break on me lol!! so at the moment im transferring all my CSP files and important things over one by one instead of directly from the old computer just to make sure any viruses and stuff i dont need arent transferred. its going to take a minute but after i sort that out the new laptop will be my workstation, and I'll finally work faster and, hopefully, start creating 3D works like ive always wanted to!! as a comparison example, this new laptop was able to run warframe extremely smoothly while the one i had could barely play among us. AMONG US. also sometimes shut off while i was working or struggled to load images or the likes- which i did make sure it was on my end and not whatever websites lag.
About Art - Update 2
Commissions are closed at this time. The switch to the new laptop was incredible and I want to complete my queue just to make sure nothing is lost in translation. thankfully i only have a couple left to do not including any of my older projects, and I'm working hard to get all of it out in a timely manner. and as for uploading I'm a bit behind on my FA and Bsky posts so when i have the time i will be mass uploading all of my works up to this point
So to summarize, I have a new job starting on the first, i have a new laptop that will keep my art path running faster and longer, I'm working on my mental health and i have more freedom to operate now that these conditions aren't weighing on me. Things are looking good. Sooo yeah- i think this was a good update and one that was very much needed.
