Everything has been...slow.
I was supposed to have a new computer about a month or two ago, but through a series of unfortunate setbacks, the money still hasn't come. To make a long and complicated story short: my family sold some property, and I was going to get some money for a new desktop computer. However, there has been nothing but red tape in the way in getting to closing. Everything should have been done in April....its still not done.
And that single thing has slowed down everything. I'm in a single summer class: a collaborative game development class where we are tasked with making a full working game from start to finish. I'm the main artist in charge of all the modeling. Its super fun, though very time consuming. I haven't had a lot of time for art because of it.
My plan was I could pose scenes on my new desktop while doing homework on my laptop. Or at least rendering images at night as I slept. I have a ton of ideas and things I want to do, but I'm a bit bottlenecked at the moment. I'm starting to wonder about the health of my laptop. I am noticing a lot of screen tearing in games, Unity has crashed often, and War Thunder keeps telling me my graphics card is outdated (its not). I don't like giving it long renders anymore. I cant lose this laptop, not right now.
On top of it I have had a few commissions. Out of the 4 that I took on, I have managed to complete only 2 this summer. I don't like it. I'm not working as efficiently as I had hoped and its bugging me. I have felt very unprofessional with them lately. I think what I will do is close up commissions and simply not take them anymore. At least not until I feel confident with them again. I don't know when that will be.
I plan on finishing these last two commissions, but I may need to wait until I can get the new computer. It will make rendering much easier.
So, in general, I wont be taking new commissions for a while. If you can though, supporting me at Patreon is the next best thing. I did manage to render this months image, and I will be posting it there sometime next week.
Once everything goes through though, I'll probably post a journal about the computer specs I'm looking at. It'll be insane, I guarantee it.
