Super Mario Art Print | 2022 UPGRADE!
🕑 Added 2022-06-30 00:18:20 +0000 UTCHello Patrons! As always, I hope this message finds you each safe, healthy & doing well. First & foremost- no, I still do not have a new reliable computer. ๐ I am literally missing ONE component to complete the full assembly of my new machine. Unfortunately, the power supply was delayed and as such not shipped along with everything else. SIGH.
That being said, I simply cannot afford to keep going weeks without the ability to work and earn money. I spent this past weekend rebooting the old laptop and performing a massive file purge. I deleted thousands of photos, and hundreds of redundant Photoshop / Illustrator / Premiere files. I restarted my Super Mario art print in a brand new file and made sure to save it to the Apple icloud versus locally on my desktop and resumed work on it. I also made sure to save obnoxiously often. So far, things seem to be OK but I'm still not comfortable livestreaming or doing any video editing, both of which cause the most performance issues.
So today I wrapped up this print, which is 3/4 of my 2022 large designs (Sam was the first and Batman / Joker was the second). The last will be themed around the anime "Demon Slayer" which I just started watching so I can have some kind of context of what I'm doing. Attached is my initial thumbnail sketch, refined pencils and of course- the final poster!
What an improvement over my 2019 design! Speaking of which, I've officially retired it- so what remains of my stock is now 60% off in the shop (and don't forget you get an additional 15% discount with code PATRON15 when checking out)! If anybody wants to grab one before they're gone, don't wait too long! I hope to be back to 100% soon!!

Sincerely,
