Medical Update #4 - No PRGE. Streaming and commissions soon!
10 years ago
So... Cancelled Geek Girl Con. Now I have to cancel Portland Retro Gaming Expo. Shooting for Midwest Furfest though.
Aaaaaaaand... for those who wanted a more in depth update...
I have not had a single "healthy" day since Rainfurrest 2014. Yes, last year. Over a year of day after day of sick. Whatever I caught there was super nasty, led to pneumonia, and it's been virus after virus since then. Docs don't know what I have. Tested for just about everything. Taken every supplement possible. Hardcore antibiotics are extremely harsh on the body, and I am too weak to endure them. Well, more of them. The last two rounds sent me to the hospital. The only thing left that I haven't tried yet is a bunch of time off. I guess theoretically, it's possible that one needs 6+ months to kill some viruses? So whatever I got is serious business. The problem with cons is that when I go, I get sleep deprived, put my body under severe physical strain, expose myself to every virus at the con, and ultimately drain and weaken whatever immune system juice I have left. So every con I've gone to since fighting pneumonia actually makes me sick(er) for about two weeks after. Serious sick. Like, stuck in bed, go to urgent care or the hospital sick. And so... I've had to cancel cons not just because I'm sick, but because I cannot afford to get worse than what I am right now. Any dealer can tell you that they are tired after a con. I cannot afford to expend that kind of energy. I have to cancel ALL my cons if I die. Unless I figure out the undead thing.
So there you go.
But now... STREAMING! Woo! Long story short, I have finally figured out a good streaming setup on my computer and will be streaming on Twitch! I'll be streaming digital and traditional art, as well as some games like Hearthstone, HotS, Isaac, or whatever. It will be a mix of fanart and original work. I need one more camera and a second monitor, but it's almost good to go. It's not quite the same as going to cons, but should still be fun.
And almost! The answer is I'm ALMOST ready to take commissions. I have one more commission left over from BLFC (yes, omg), before I open up things. I'm not sure what I'll be opening for. Could be just a few digitals to start. What I would like to do, is open up, say, $500 of potential work, and then people can order whatever they want. We will see though.
That's all I got for now.

Twitch is "for games". If they catch you just streaming art you may be banned. That's why I had to look for an alternative.
Most people (including me) by today use Picarto, but there are other alternatives out there if you dont like it. :)
