Marching Forward in March (Full Update!)
🕑 Added 2020-03-02 04:12:28 +0000 UTCI AM PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT I AM ONCE AGAIN WITH MY COMPUTER! God I'm so happy, It's been difficult without my PC for the past month, but I've been learning the Ipad to the point that I can work RELATIVELY comfortably on it now (but not super efficiently XD) and have been turning out things on patreon in my down time :3 I'm pleased to say I have a LOT of things upcoming, and I want to lay out that which I'm currently working on, and tell what happened exactly. TL;DR's that I'm back with my Laptop, the keyboard's still messed up but it runs again, and I'm going to be focusing on finishing things in the following order: Patreon>Commissions>Collaborations>TMMS. Thank you for your patience and understanding through all of this! It's been rough DX
SO HERE'S THE DETAILS AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR EACH PART OF THIS PROCESS!
What happened to my computer:
The big issue is that the power in DC jack was messed up. The computer would no longer charge when plugged in and needed fixing. My computer had ALSO suffered water damage recently and certain keys and the touchpad no longer worked. I decided to try to get all these addressed around the 27th of January, and it was going to be out for about a week with geek squad (Probably my first mistake l3). A week and a half later, I was informed that my computer needed a new motherboard and wouldn't be able to be fixed. They gave it back to me after which I insisted that the power problem was the REAL issue, and the keys weren't crucial, so they tell me 'if you get this part and come back we can install it and you're good to go' and list the part specifically. I went and bought it and ordered expedited shipping, only to have the part take TWO WEEKS. I had a replacement part sent and got refunded for the shipping, and ordered another part on Ebay that was cheaper, only to finally get the FIRST part and then take it in. Three days later GS calls me saying 'this isn't the right part, you'll need to get this one instead' and give me ANOTHER listed part, this one being about $50 more than the first. So I go buy this thing, wait ANOTHER week and finally when it comes I take it in, now having the Ebay part too, and realizing the ebay part I got while waiting might have been the right part all along?! I take them both in and they try them both, the cheap part was NOT the right part (thank god) but the one they suggested was right. As of yesterday I have my computer back in it's working fashion, and I will have to keep looking for a replacement motherboard or someone who could fix the issues WITH my motherboard right now, but that's neither here nor there. In reality, I should look for a good PC soon, so I'll begin saving up for that.
What's Next for Drawing:
I have a LOT of things I've wanted to do this month and losing it when I did threw a huge spanner into my works. I have been trying to move forward as much as I could in the time being but it's still more limited than I would like. I'll go through the specifics of what I'm doing, but know that my priority is to my craft and I'm gonna be back on top of everything I owe after this month. Thank you all for your patience with me through this lame time, it won't be misplaced DX My Priorities are listed below, I'll be finishing up things in order:
Patreon images: All my patreon winning images from the last two months (and this one too) are my current priority. I will be getting the last two month's pics finished FIRST and try to get them up within the week! All of those pictures I did a lot of work on, getting their lines and flats done, so now I just need to colour and background them and they're finished! These will be posted as they're done so keep an eye out. After those four are done I'll be working on other steps and doing my other patreon drawings in kind, two more AWESOME images coming up this month!
Commissions: Once my 4 patreon images are finished and posted, my commissions will be top priority. I have 4 remaining from MFF that I feel AWFUL about waiting so long on DX It's not fair to you guys and all I can say is I'm sorry and I'm going to make them as absolutely amazing as I possibly can <3 This will probably be the brunt of my work this month between them and patreon.
Collaborations: I've been in talks with a few other talents to do some bigger projects, and I've not been able to move forward on them at all. I'm going to be working on these things after all my paid obligations are done, getting a number of images and writings done for those patient talented folks. I'm intensely eager to work on these things with everybody, I just have to take care of my responsibilities to those that support me first!
TMMS/Animations: These are at the bottom of the tree (apt for the roots that keep my sanity grounded XD). The next strip for TMMS and my next animation projects are the last things I'll be working on once all my other responsibilities have been addressed satisfactorily. In terms of numbers...I have about 10 images I'll be prioritizing the completion of before I even think about getting back into my own passion projects again 
Just know the following details: I have the next two comics for TMMS storyboarded in my sketchbooks already and I'm excited to make them happen, I want this CLIMAX, I will be allowing people to vote on a small animation project I'm going to do alongside of a bigger one I'm pulling together next, and they're both gonna be awesome (The vote is cause I can't decide WHICH one to work on first! XD) While I only list TMMS and Animations here, it's really a catchall for anything I WANT to do again. I'm sure I'll work in little sketches here and there still, but my focus is going to be my responsibilities first and foremost!
And there you have it! This is me moving forward. I hope everybody out there is holding in well and that this March can be an amazing month for me and everybody around! Take care, stay strong, and lets make some magic!
