Still alive but mac's broken
3 weeks ago
Eyh!
I've been meant to write this journal for a while nw but time runs faster than i'd like, yet too slow for my liking, ah!
Some of you may have noticed i did not post anything for approximately a month : it is because my iMac, which is the computer i work with experienced what seems to be a graphic card break, and was therefore, impossible to keep as is. The long detailled story can be found on my Telegram where i post updates as soon as i have them ( @ VenChannel )
Story in short: on Sept. 4th, i've let my computer to our waranty/repair service (thanks my mom who pays for this extra waranty that litteraly take in charge every of our machines, either by giving us money or repairing it when possible, my mac was taken for repair) and i am still waiting for them to give me news on when to pick it back up.Called them yesterday, it seems i can hope to have new either this week or next week maximum... I keep hoping. Normally it should be repaired, but there is always a risk for it to not work, if that's the case, i'll get some money back to buy a new one, we shall see.
Work wise: I'm actually on my VERY old windows, it's slow and small, but at least it works, tho, despite my efforts could not manage to have a decent colour rendering even with playing/tweaking with color profiles... I'm still trying on a daily basis but with no good results :/ // THO i still work on my sketches + my line works, which means every queued work is actually taking steps in advance, planning for my mac return :) (Sketch + line means 2 approx. 2 hours of work per piece, which is a good start). If i manage to finish all my lineworks, i'll do the flat colors to be ready to catch up on my mac when i'll have it back, too.
Deadline wise: Every impacted customer/deadline will receive a note or a TG message if i see their deadline can't be honoured, for now i luckily had some advance in my work and avoided too mch impact. I'll do my best to get work done as fast as possible as i'll get my computer back.
Money wise for me: It's quite rough as i still need to get money to pay everything, but with my main income (streams) being impossible, AND being impossible for me to complete anything colored, i'm on full "pause" and of course my bank accounts are starting to feel very empty rn. I still have a few YCH poses open for grabs, and i have some that are also ready to be sent. It's my best bet for now, and as soon as i sell a pose, i directly work on the lines so it's ready to be finished asap whe i'll have news from the mac.
To avoid filling my to do list, i'll be starting to open B&W commissions either via telegram or on FA directly, these will be cheaper and done "on the same day" after receiving payment :) If it seems to be something ya'll like, i may as well keep doing it as a cheaper commission possibility <3
And for now, that's it! For any question or anything, feel free to ask, even if i am the main one impacted here ahah, but just in case, i'm also reachable if needed !
Cheer and cros finers for me please to have my mac returned soon, it's starting to feel very long, indeed ;_;

My printer/scanner has apparently died and I've spent most of the morning so far frustrating myself trying to get an old printer to work with my Linux box. Or even my windows computer for that matter. It got me feeling so frustrated that I actually started thinking it might be so much less headache if I just packed all up and took it to a repair shop and paid them to fix the damned thing. But I've got to thank you for reminding me that even if I were to throw money at my problem, there could still be the headaches of waiting to see if someone else can solve my problems for me. I know I should probably go out and buy a new printer, but both of these printers I have still turn on and power up just fine. My printer had been working just fine with the Linux Box, but yesterday it simply stopped and I just can no longer get them to link with either of my computers. And I have no idea of why.
Sorry bout the long post but I just felt like venting.
But I'd like to help you out with a commission, if you can. Find me on TG as ArthurTheQuasar :)
