PC news and monthly summary
🕑 Added 2023-03-01 14:12:54 +0000 UTCSo, it's March already and the time to write another monthly summary post and I think it would be nice to start with the recent news.
Well, I got my PC yesterday, what can I say, it came back safe and sound like nothing happened but now it's a complete financial disaster for me. Here you can see my repair receipt with all the history of bullshit, I expected that it will be expensive but NOT. THAT. MUCH. EXPENSIVE. The whole price is 29 550 rubles as you can see, according to current USD/RUB exchange rate (1=75.26) it's 392 USD. Here's the translation of all operations being done and how much they cost for those who're interested:
Motherboard ASUS LGA 1150 - 3200
Power Supply 400W POWERMAN - 2900
PC building - 1000

Jesus Christ, I could actually buy myself a new PC for this money, if only I knew... But I heard the price only at Sunday and there weren't any way back already. It made me fucking broke and I can only thank the god for giving me good and caring friends who respond to my plea immediately and helped me to get out of that situation as fast as possible but now I'm in a big debt and have to very much prolong my commission routine saying goodbye to my commission-free vacation and push it veeeery far. Well, at least all my files are safe. Everything is just the same, even my desktop and all the files on it are at their place. So, it's like my PC was kidnapped and kidnappers asked for a 400 dollar ransom and the kidnapper is the motherfucking fate itself which sent me that short circuit.
But what's done is done, I have to accept it now and try to keep living the way I lived. Let's talk about the month. I have to say sorry again that this month is maybe not as saturated with content as it could be. Maybe it was, it's just so much complicated it's hard for me to calculate my progress. I mean, I usually estimate my monthly results by counting my finished artworks which should be at least 7 for a perfect score but this month I also started working in an absolutely new technique, I mean pixel art, and I made a lot of it for sure but I don't know how many people here did really enjoy it, maybe for some it's too primitive compared to my drawings they expect to see, no matter how much horny it looks and feels for myself?
And also these drawings in the end of the month, it's kind of an "early access" because I don't know when these Pooch and Genghis drawings will be 100% finished and when my public audience will see it. But still I have concerns that I didn't do my best this month even though I tried my hard and these last 6 days were spoiled by PC problems, also February appeared to be the shortest month of the year, I forgot about it, I still think results could be better, hope it's not that bad as I think and not really disappointing. The fact I still keep losing supporters for a third month already is not a good sign, it forces me to push harder on myself but my tries don't seem to be enough, maybe I deserved that downfall...
So, drawing the line, it was an important month. I feel very much burnt out by drawing too many commissions, missing my personal ideas a lot, wishing I could start drawing epic horny sequences again and willing badly to arrange myself a vacation which will not happen soon because Lady Fortune decided to shit under my door but still it had a bright side. I found new friends, new supporters, new commissioners, I overcame my fear of sharing fart content on public in January and now it brought only good things to me, attracted new great folks and inspired them to commission new interesting things from me. I started working with sexual pixel art for the first time in my life, it turned out pretty well and can become something really great in the future.
Also, it's not something really related to my sexual art but still I need to tell about one more thing which made me busy that month. I'm running my own Wiki Fandom project. I'm not sure if there are any people here who don't know about that hobby of mine but still I need to remind you that I'm collecting vintage items with Volk in order to make my own contribution to Furry culture history but with such a high goal it should be something bigger than just a visual display of items. All these items have a backstory, connections with certain people, events and the culture of the country where they were created. So, besides of just hoarding things I study them, spending a lot of time discovering more about their origins, manufacturers etc. But where could I store all that info? Honestly, I didn't know. I wanted to make my personal site but it's too hard for just a silly artist like me. Not for no reason site making is a job and people pay money for it, it needs a certain skill and knowledge. Everything changed this month when my friend suggested me a brilliant idea which I don't know how I didn't think about myself. Create a wiki. And it's just perfect, better than any site that could be made. It appeared to be trickier than I thought, I even had to learn a bit of CSS coding to make some things work and there were many other underwater rocks but I learned fast and now have enough basic knowledge to make a decent looking virtual encyclopedia.
You can already take a look at what is done currently:
https://nupogodihistory.fandom.com/wiki/History_of_%22Nu,_Pogodi!%22_Wiki
That wiki is still quite empty for now, that's why I'm currently not announcing it publicly and wait for the day when it will look more decent and worthwhile, it has just few pages about some items plus I already made background design (please look it in PC version, mobile sucks a lot, don't use it), Russian version has three times more pages even though I'm trying to develop both wikis in parallel but, well, it's on Russian so you can just watch item pictures if you're interested or use automatic page translation in your browser.
A biiiiiiiiiig load of work awaits me as I have around 600 items in my collection and every each needs its own page but it's already a good start and I'm not going to abandon that project by any cost. I just really want Furry Fandom to be a subculture with a real history.
So, you can say I'm quite busy now, hahaha. Torn between drawing Volk (well, not exactly just him of course), making a sexual game about Volk and making a virtual encyclopedia about Volk. I will try my best to keep a perfect balance between my duties and let's hope that no short circuit or any other dreadful bullshit will ever disrupt my plans anymore.
All that, my more liberated living, fighting life troubles, developing my projects, it couldn't be done without you and your help! Thank you for staying with me no matter what, I'll try my best on being a good content maker.
