I'm sorry; it sounds like you've really been down on your luck recently. I can tell you I do still look forward to your posts even if I don't comment very much, and I know I'm not the only one.

This is probably not going to be what you or your followers want to hear, but it might be best to take some time away from it for now. Give yourself some time before thinking about how you might try to fix parts of your setup or replacing some of them, especially if it's not just for art. Having so many problems come up all at the same time, I think anyone in their right mind would want to throw their hands up in the air and say 'I'm done' at first.

Really though, it just comes down to what you want. If you enjoy making art and sharing it, I hope you'll work on a solution when the time is right.

I might have been a bit too dark with my post but I am/was honestly in tears through it. I did cover very little with this post, my pen broke around 6 months ago which is why I dropped things like your comm, the comic, so on and as things started getting worse and money became desperate to keep upkeep it started becoming a problem. a month later the charger broke, making it hard to draw the manual way I've been doing, a week ago the monitors cable broke down so i switched the cable so i can still draw and then this cable broke down as well. now the USB connector broke. at this point the only thing that hasn't broken is the monitor itself and at this point I'm expecting that soon.
I am not giving up art. I refuse to do that. I've been painting card alters while I wait for the pen to keep myself busy and practiced. If this is the nail in the coffin, likelihood is I'll still be drawing, traditional and personal digital art but probably nothing big since I'd be too frustrated with my situation.
But, onto the point of this journal, I didnt mean to come off vindictive, I understand that theres some interested in my work and stuff but my dilemma comes with the upkeep. I chose to do this over actually get a job and it hurts in hindsight to look back and feel like I made a mistake. My biggest issue is that I feel so lost with this. I can never gauge interest, what fans enjoy, what i should be focusing on, etc. Due to the nature of things, and thats why things feel so mortus to me. I enjoy art but I'm stuck with my only tools breaking on me and I dont have a community to turn to, not for help but a semblance of interest. I can get a replacement for my monitor, albeit sinking a large amount of my loan into it but why when most of the time I'm drawing things for myself and just posting them for others to look right through. I understand, no one is looking through it but this is where the "lost" comes in, I dont know where to go, I dont know if I did something wrong, and I dont know what I did wrong. I am mortally led to these conclusions with no way pointing me in any direction.
I'm sorry if this is left as rambling but that's all I'm left to. This is very much the straw that broke the camel's back and I'm just wondering if its worth it to pick up all the straws or if it would be in vain. I'm always torn between doing something for me and doing something others would enjoy, however under these scenarios I feel bad because I'm getting frustrated drawing things that I have no clue whether people will enjoy or not and when I do personal things I'm left wondering who cares, why didnt i just do this in a sketchbook and not post it or go through the frustration.
