So I found something very disappointing this morning. My computer monitor of just under 2 years has developed a nice line of dead pixels. I'm super upset because it's not small, and not something easily ignored when drawing and gaming. I don't have the funds to repair it or even invest in a new monitor cause I currently don't work and the best money I get is the occasional commission request from people. It really sucks to say the least.

I guess I wanted to rant a little and emphasise the fact that I'm willing to take commissions. I would really appreciate it because of this issue, and I want nothing more than to resolve it. It's only faint line across the monitor, but it'll get worse as time goes on and it's really distracting when doing art among other things.

Any who, other than that slight downer I've come really far with my skills. I'm currently drawing up the reference sheet for my partner and it's looking great! I feel if I can do something like this and be happy with the anatomy and over all look/style I'll be able to do reference sheet commissions. It's a lot of fun honestly, and I didn't know it could be so rewarding to look at a WHOLE full body piece of artwork. I really hope I can speed up with my artwork so it doesn't take so long to complete the line work for these, but hopefully that will just come with doing more and more full body pieces.

I'm sorry for ranting, but at this time my mother won't bat an eyelid at me because she pesters me to find a job, which is true and it's not like I'm not looking for one, so this is purely just to get it out of my system to others that might understand. I hope everyone has a great August, I will be uploading the reference sheet when it's complete for you to see and I welcome any critique and comments on it. I would like to improve further with my understanding of anatomy.
