So whats the process with commissions, and whats your current workload / pacing like? ^^

Currently fairly open for off-stream work, assuming it's not (another) large project or ref sheet. The prices listed on my pinned submission are accurate to both commissions in stream and off. I try to get through them as quickly as I can unless they're "when ever you can get to them" projects. Once I make a sketch the commissioner likes, I take payment and progress to line and color.

As for asking for a commission directly, please note me and we can talk details

i would be interested in grabbing a commission off of you. :)

OC the living flip out of it when your cooler can handle it

I know how you feel.

Needed to upgrade my labtop for a computer after 5 years of usage.

Had to finance it to get a decent build without a graphics card.

Computers nowadays are not as cheap, uless you want those low end just typing computers, or those Raspberry pi/Arduino Credit card size computers. $150 for a Udoo x86 for a windows 10 small board.

Mhmm. Build the one I'm on right now, will be building this one too. I just need to keep ontop of actually buying upgrades to keep her going rather than shrugging her off to the point of death in obsolescence

If that's the case, when going to get the OS, ask for an alternative OS for windows 10, retail version. Compare to the standard OS, when installed to the storage device, it will register to the device setup. Make it unable to function if you move it from one motherboard to another. A lock in the system. The retail OS, though more pricey, allows the fexitbility to transfer the OS from one motherboard to another, as I did with my computer.

It's on a M.2 250gb storage with 3200gbps for my OS, with a 1TB for larger storage.

I won't be buying new harddrives any time soon. my OS runs off an SSD right now, and both my storage drives are a bit old but not enough to worry about yet. I'll be looking to replace them after dealing with a few other expenses too.

For a note on your pc build I'd recommend a higher speed ram for your computer. Ryzen loves RAM clock speed. you'll regret getting anything less than 2400mhz. check newegg and amazon, should be decentish prices on quicker ram. or check a microcenter if there's one near you.

thank you, actually had https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3C.....000c15d-16gvkb suggested. Will be checking some reviews, not a brand I know, but may be swapping the build to that instead.

G.skill is actually what I use, I can confirm they have a quality product!

second that! their lifetime waarranty is really nice too.

You could also buy used from folks on /r/hardwareswap. Lots of good deals on that particular subreddit.
Used parts are pretty much as good as new, if taken care of.

been shafted a few too many times to really trust used eletronics, but thank you. If it wasn't effectively my livelihood on the line I'd consider it.

Had been wanting to shop around in october for parts, and well, the machine decided it wanted to start really dying early.

Fair enough, best of luck finding what you need!
Unfortunate timing there for sure, the Ryzen you're after ought to be amazing once built.

*nods* It's a similar built to a friend of mine's. She's had some amazing jumps in performance and her old pc was newer than mine.

I can't wait for CSP to not freeze up every time I save a file :D

+1 on the build, should be nice and solid for your needs for a good long while. Only comment is I hope you have an SSD from your old build to use with it, as a spinning disk drive would really bottleneck performance.

In the future maybe consider adding a 256GB-512GB NVME m.2 SSD for your OS, since your new motherboard has a slot for one. That should make Photoshop, etc open super quick :)

If you want a convenient place to keep a lookout for deals on new computer parts consider https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/

I actually have my OS on one, so when my computer DOES freeze up or just blip out, it's back in seconds... even if I've lost work and sanity along the way ^^;

hard drives and PSU are transfering over, since the newbuild actually uses about 70% of the power my current one <_< this upgrade will even save eletrical bill money

first of i cant help with cash but may with the parts ...
i need to know the country your in like USA / Germany or such and the max prize you would go / what you dont want inside i know some pepole got something against AMD

way too late on that input darling, I worked out what I wanted before I put all this together.

well np :P

Perhaps a small thing, but the Ryzen 5 1600 might be the better bang for buck. It is overclockable to almost the same degree as the 1600X and comes with the Writh Spire cooler, which is acTually a very decent cooler that got my 1700 up to 3.8 Ghz stable rather easily. It would save a little bit on the cpu itself, and removes the need for aftermarket. You can always buy and install an aftermarket cooler when finance is back up to spec.

Also, though this might be a reason because of your use case scenario, are you sure you wish to get the 6GB version of the 1060? Performance won't see much of a hit, if any at all, at 1080p or 1440p for the compute performance that that card offers, and since it's generally cheaper, this could save you $50

Just a few things I noted looking through the specs list. Hope it might help! Either way, it looks like a very solid build, nice job.

Wolfennar think the batch 1 B pose is really good. Perhaps talk to her [at]wolfennar on both twitter or on telegram and wolfennar on here if you want to draw her in it? You and I can talk money. You know how to find me.

Alternatively or additionally I want some art of tinyfawks and I together. And I would love to have you do it...

I'm... actually in the middle of working on 1-B right now. That one's gone my dear.

as for art of you with Tiny, I think you have me on messengers! We can talk there or FA notes :3

my computers even older and it still runs fine. eh maybe it's one of the perks of being in a family of technicians

If your still taking commissions can you do poses similar to some of the ones already taken? Incase 2A get's taken before i can get spending cash XD.
