NEW COMPUTER + YCH Bonfire News!
9 years ago
Please read my Terms of Service before requesting a commission - thank you!
I GOT A NEW COMPUTER! FINALLY!!!!! It’s a mid-2012 13” Macbook Pro - first laptop I’ve ever owned, actually. :D (And while technically not NEW new, just an excellent-condition refurb, it is new to me, so whatev... NEW!)
Got it to replace my aging late-2006 17” Intel iMac, which incredibly enough still works - even 3 hard drives, 2 power supplies and 9+ years of daily [ab]use later! It'd just become insufferably slow, and too obsolete to handle ... basically anything involving the modern internet. u_u Nothing says “time to upgrade” like being locked out of Google Docs!
So, even though its specs aren't the FASTEST EVAR or anything, the laptop is easily twice as fast as my old machine, if not faster. :) Meaning once everything is transitioned over, I should be able to work on digital art MUCH faster and more easily! Plus do a few things I wasn’t able to do before, like streaming*!
(*Not immediately, there’s a learning curve involved, but I'll be sure to make announcements here and/or twitter about new developments as they happen.)
And now, onto...
YCH BEACH BONFIRE NEWS:
Here's what's up with the YCH Beach Bonfire commission! For all of my lovely participants who have been waiting so patiently:
-The first draft (sketch stage) is ALMOST FINISHED - only about a dozen characters left to add (out of 52+)!
-Once the sketch is ready (within the next week, most likely) I will be emailing a copy to each participant for review.
-Participants may request minor changes to their character(s) for up to 10 days (from the date the email is sent - don’t worry, I haven’t sent it yet!)
-Afterward I will be posting the sketch here, with a few crowd-filler/cameo type “LAST CHANCE” slots for sale, for flat prices, first-come first-serve.
Again, I have NOT sent out the sketch/first draft yet! So don’t worry that you haven’t received anything, it’s coming very soon! I will also post a followup journal once it’s been sent, for those who want a backup/reminder about when to check for the email. :)
That’s all for now - more soon! And as always, thanks for reading!

I have a 20" 2006 iMac in pieces behind me, I've been busy upgrading and refurbishing it.
You kind love the old machine but as time passes the old bag just can't really cut it and it's to upgrade.
