Toby Needs A Computer!
11 years ago
A new computer.
This one that I've been using is slowing down... It's getting older, and while it's behaving better than it was when I was forced to start using it a few months ago, it's still not... amazing.
I'm shooting for a computer that's $650 before shipping and handling and all that jazz. It's got a huge screen for higher quality art, and is a faster, stronger computer, so hopefully it'll be able to handle Livestream as opposed to Join.Me, which would help me out considerably.
I've found in the last few days that I really, really enjoy in-stream commissions. Not just that I enjoy them above "normal" commissions, but I enjoy them by themselves, just for what they are. I love that the commissioner is right there as I do it, and I get the feedback immediately, and don't have to wait hours between finishing the sketch and getting the okay to work further on it. I love how... Quick everything is, and it's much less stressful and causes me exponentially less anxiety than normal commissions.
Unfortunately, however, Join.Me only allows 9 viewers, and the host. Who knows how many potential customers I'm missing because they can't get in! With Livestream, this limit is like, 50 or something, so it wouldn't be a problem anymore~
Now, I'm still going to be taking out of stream commissions, of course, because they bring in money, but I would still love it if people would spread the word about my streams as they come up!
ANYWAYS, back to the computer! I'm gonna save up to around $700, just to give myself a little wiggle room. I'm going to need to take commissions, both in stream and out, to be able to hit this goal, and I want to afford it as soon as possible.
Thank you for reading, and if you can help, or know someone who can, please point them in my direction!

Thank you. <3
I dunno! I'll look into though!
Thank you!
of course my computer is mean and old and grouchy and will probably lag too bad BUT I WILL TRY
I wish you luck! Would love to see you stream sometime.
I still do streams on Join.Me sometimes if you'd like to stop by! <3
Oh well. Least you know about it for the future if you decide to try it.
I'll also try to stop by your Join.Me whenever I'm free, and happen to see your announcement.
Awesome~ Unfortunately I just kind of do them whenever and can't give you any kind of... warning when I'm gonna do them.. ;A;
I'm pretty much the same way with my own streams (even with porn *cough*)
Will keep a lookout anyways, though! ^^
