Computer Is on it's Last Legs and getting replaced
🕑 Added 2020-05-06 17:53:19 +0000 UTC So of course, nothing can just stay good, it has to always compound and get worse. My computer has decided that it's ready to die. The video card is on the blink and when it dies so does it's functionality with my tablet. As a result I've had to go ahead and replace it. I already have the replacement coming in so I shouldn't lose any stride (and I'm still working with my old one as long as it holds on) but this is the final nail in the coffin. The bulleted details are as follows:
-The computer's video card crashes and stops reading at random intervals, sometimes remaining down, sometimes bouncing back. I have explored the various software and driver options it COULD have been and alas none of them fixed the issue, that and the computer is specifically reporting issues with the card.
-I am working with my computer till the replacement comes, trying to get some patreon work and other things done first before I start into the things I have planned to make up my money lost on the new comp.
-THIS SHOULDN'T HOLD ME UP. I'm still moving at a clip, and I'm not asking for charity YET, I'm going to do so through a couple special events.
So what ARE those special events you may ask? Well I had them both planned for the future and I'm moving them up and changing them so hopefully people can help me replace my computer through them. I HATE asking for things without giving anything back, so I'm going to do two special events: An Animatic Growth Drive and a Charity Sketch Comm donation stream. Let me give the full details below:
Animatic Growth Drive
-It's going to be a series of pictures inspired by an animatic done by another artist I love, BackPainArt https://twitter.com/backpainart1/status/1243286879568629765
-When finished, Suki will be transitioning between each stage via a hiccup, there will be light fun animation and effects, and sound! The full project will be lined with simple colours
-It will not just be a series of still images in sequence, but some slight movement to accentuate the growth and some wobbling, but only one image each (trying to push my tweening a bit here)
-Suki will be inflating in a Full Body 3B fashion (breast butt belly) emphasizing butt and breasts.
-The drive will happen on each site, working in the following way:
o Donations will be accepted through Ko-Fi, which makes donations in $3 intervals.
o For each $100 it will be another image in the sequence, more images means more size!
o After running for one Week, I will be counting all the Likes and Retweets it got on Twitter and be adding $1 value for every 5 RT's and 10 Likes!
o Additionally, I will be adding $1 value for every patron I have when it's done! These should ensure a good long sequence either way!
-THE DRIVE WILL BEGIN ONCE THE FINISHED FIRST IMAGE IS SUBMITTED, FOR NOW GO VOTE ON WHAT COSTUME SHE SHOULD WEAR AT THIS LINK: https://www.patreon.com/posts/36820011
Charity Sketch Comm Stream
-This will happen sometime next week once the growth drive's donation period is under way.
-It will be an all day stream where I will be doing sketch commissions to the tune of $25 for one char and $50 for two max.
-Any characters drawn require visual references, PLEASE HAVE YOUR STUFF READY TO GO WHEN YOU'RE CHOSEN.
-Slots will be randomly chosen after each one is done, I will be using the in-stream function so you must be present to opt in each time.
-If you're chosen and don't reply within five minutes you will be passed over.
-I reserve the right to turn down any commissions I'm not comfortable with.
-Any patreon members that win a slot will get $5 off their purchase!
-ALL COMM PROCEEDS WILL BE GOING TO DIRECT RELIEF AS A MEANS OF HELPING WITH THE CORONA VIRUS EPIDEMIC. THIS part isn't for me.
-During the stream I will be encouraging people to purchase Ko-Fi's towards my donation drive, THAT part will help me. I will be shamelessly self promoting during it l3
SO! These are my two events that I'll be doing in the next week or so to try and make back the money for the computer I've bought. The last detail I'll provide here is the computer's information I purchased and why I got what I did:
-I purchased a new laptop because my lifestyle requires a fair bit of movement, I'm going around and doing a lot of things and my setup has to be able to follow me to at the least, different rooms of the house and different homes as I travel between my current house and my families house.
-As with most major technological purchases I have future-proofed it a fair amount, not buying the most expensive or highest end product, but trying to find a strong solid computer with a good insurance policy that should last me for many years (my current one is only dying in it's 8th year of use). As a result of these things I have chosen a model running close to $2000 after shipping and insurance on it.
-I have made this purchase already and it's coming to me within the week (hopefully)
So the TL:DR is this: I got a new computer, relatively expensive so I don't need another for a long time, will be doing some special events to make up the difference for it, and hope you'll all participate. Sorry for the BEVY of information in this journal, and sorry for any hiccups this does in my drawing schedule, but I shouldn't face any major conflicts and I'm trying to take this as a means of providing some more content to everybody <3 Take care!
