About three days ago one of my monitors suddenly showed only a black screen after being on for a brief moment (only about a few seconds), repeating it every time it turned on. Searches online turned up that it might be something to do with its internal capacitors being screwy and a lower monitor brightness setting could help, but even after that it only bumped up working time to about a minute or so before it cut out again. Kept trying with other stuffs but looks like it's biting the dust at this rate, and I'm out a monitor for the time being.

Fortunately, I had a two monitor setup so this doesn't prevent me from using my main desktop computer with one instead. As well, I'm at least halfway to having the funds I need to get a new one (fixing the current one looks like it'll take longer to do and cost more, funny enough). Unfortunately, losing it has had a more significant impact on my workflow than I thought it would have, both for classwork and commissions, and the earliest I can get a new monitor seems to be a week at earliest.

As such, apologies to everyone I owe art to if it takes longer to get to your piece than I expected. I'll make sure to meet deadlines for holiday and birthday-related commissions though.

To my commissioners and anyone who I have a pending trade with, feel free to shoot me a note about any inquiries you may have relating to any trades or commissions I owe you.


Summary: Out a monitor for the time being, possible delays for commissions and other artwork. Send a note if you have any questions about your piece.
