Some drawings and life news
🕑 Added 2023-02-25 21:09:51 +0000 UTCHi guys, I have some sad news to tell. The reason I was silent recently is that my PC died that Wednesday due to a short circuit. It happened when I was sleeping, after waking up I pushed the button but my PC didn't start, not even a sound of an attempt to start, just a dead box of metal. And there also was a slight burned smell in the room. I called a private repairman explaining him all the situation in detail, he assumed that I much likely got my power supply unit burned as it's the most common thing which happens to PCs when they get damaged by a short circuit and he took a working power unit with him to check if it's the only thing which broke in my PC. But when he came and tried to run my PC with his power supply it still didn't start. He examined my motherboard but didn't find anything burned. All he had to do is to take my PC to his office and continue working on my problem there. Later it turned out that my motherboard got damaged too and needs to be replaced too. It appeared to be a rare model and took him some time to find the only one in my town for a replacement which is a pure luck but the supplier doesn't work at Saturday-Sunday and he will be able to pick it up only at Monday. Another problem is that my hard drive is alive and wasn't physically damaged but it turned on a disk write protection mode which happens often when PCs get seriously damaged, so the data is safe but can't be used and he need to work further to get it back to normal. So, I spent these three days without PC, going to spend Sunday without it and I don't know if Monday is gonna be a true happy end of that shitty story. In such conditions I have nothing to do but just work with my old sketches like I did in summer 2022 when I was apart with my PC for a long time but hopefully, unlike my horrible summer story, it shouldn't last three months. At least I'm not just sitting and doing nothing, having no PC distracting me I can at least focus on work more, even though it doesn't go according to my plans as I wanted to deal with my current list of 4 commissioners first and I can't work on commissions without my references library and such. Also, that sudden problem is a serious hit for my wallet. I wanted to arrange myself a little vacation and focus on drawing only my personal ideas at least for one month after I finish 4 more commissions as I feel pretty much burnt out, stressed and mentally exhausted from abandoning my own fantasies and working mostly on commissions and nothing else lately. And now I had to throw a big bunch of my saved money to figure out that unexpected shit I wasn't prepared to at all. I still hope to go on that vacation though.
So, here's photos of what I did these days, sorry, even though I have scanner by hand, it's useless without PC.
First one is a commission for my friend and supporter BobaOtter with his OCs Monty and Ezra, was going to finish it much earlier but circumstances disrupted me, I'll finish it first of all when my PC is back. And the rest are my old Wacky World of Tex Avery drawings with Pooch and Genghis you might remember, now they're shaded. I'm going to draw more and do as much as I can these days until my PC will be repaired.
