[Patron-Only Feed] Just a quickie

I think we've had a good start to March. I haven't done very much in the way of sketches this first week, but I produced some higher quality illustrations. 1 NSFW illustration to start the month off with, and 2 SFW illustrations -- that's 1 more than I had planned. It's good to slow down, but I still worry about taking too long and neglecting other matters.

I suppose that means I can take it easier next week and focus my efforts on sketches & concept work. Speaking of which, are there any subjects in particular you'd be interested in seeing in the next Concept Art & Discussion thread? That's a $7 tier thing.

New Shoes:

Patreon recently got a face lift; a new look! I really like it. It's clean & minimal, and on my end, as a creator, much more accessible than it used to be. They DID remove the grey tint in the background, however... I think that was in service to making a minimal appearance, but I can say I'm not 100% behind that decision. Fortunately, it's not something I have to worry about. 

I've been using an extension called Dark Reader to make every bright, white website I go to much darker and more readable.

A Minor Setback...

I had to perform a factory reset to my computer earlier this month because I must not have been paying the best attention while I was trying to mod Dragon Quest XI. I suppose I did something, somehow, I shouldn't have, because my computer was not operating the way it should. So I wipe the computer clean and started anew. Fortunately, I backed up most of my stuff, so I didn't really lose anything important.

I suppose the biggest issue is just the fact that I have to adjust to my new pen pressure settings and get my content creation setup back into the working order I had it in.

I've since also decided to shift from Google Chrome to Firefox, but I really miss the ability to right-click an image and search for it online...

Hey, you. You're finally awake.

i've been modding Skyrim SE recently, messing around with mods and testing things here and there. Rather than trying to make a better version of Skyrim -- which is what I usually do, only to give up once it becomes too much work... I figured I would instead just commit to curating a specific kind of experience. In this case, an Elayne Beaumont play-through.

With my current mod list, however, I'm getting 30 fps max in the open world, and dropping a few more frames when in densely populated areas of the map. Unfortunate. I could just deal with it, but I've never played Skyrim at 60fps, and I'd really like to.

Considering Skyrim's an old game, and although I still haven't experienced all it had to offer, I'd really like the visual experience to be really amazing -- because there's a lot of things I find otherwise lacking in the game.

The ENB is definitely the most demanding thing there, but I still haven't finished my mod list. Perhaps I should instead wait until I've got a more powerful computer to run this... 

I'm just really in the mood for an Elayne Beaumont-adjacent experience in a video game. :c

This update is a fairly short one. I haven't much to say about this week and the upcoming week, but I figured I'd touch base anyway. Thank you for all your support.

Don't forget to eat & sleep.
