Minor update: Pics, Tumblr

First of all, sorry for the lack of activity. Birthday happened and... well, let's just say I couldn't celebrate it the way I wanted to. Or even live the way I wanted to for a while. I'm still trying to recover from it (the novel I got recently helps), but I don't think I'll have much to po...

Quick heads-up regarding payments

Still unsure as to the cause (Tumblr rumors claim it's because the company moved to the UK or something, others claim it's a Patreon bug), but if you used your card to pledge here or for any other account, it may have been declined. If that includes you and you're reading this before Patreo...

Small health update

Due to caffeine tolerance getting to a point where four cups of coffee did nothing but make my chest feel a bit tight, I decided to take some time to wean myself from the stuff. This isn't me announcing the intent now, btw—I already started doing this over a week ago.

I spent more time asleep th...

Update on electricity

Brigades started work on my neighborhood and have drilled a hole for the replacement pole that's going in the neighbor's backyard. Looking like we'll have electricity sometime on early April, which is good 'cause it's been over half a year since the power was knocked down and I was starting to get p...

Acrylic ink practice + notes

Got a bottle of acrylic ink from the art store 'cause it was cheap and I wanted to see if I could use it for the crow quill whenever India ink wasn't available. So far it has its quirks and I much prefer India ink but it's a good enough substitute in a pinch.

Notice

Due to troubles with some of the family (namely me having to cut off certain members because they're total assholes) I won't have access to the hotspot anymore. This means no streams until the lights come back and periods of not being able to go online at the end of each month (phone has a data cap ...

Good news: Patreon's not doing the fee thing anymore

Relevant link: https://blog.patreon.com/not-rolling-out-fees-change/ Carry on, yo.

Hoo boy, Patreon

So Patreon's gonna change fees so they affect patrons instead of creators. Kind of a shit move, tbh, but other creators have gone to great details as to why it's a shit move so most of you probably already have a good idea about what's going on. All that's left to see is if they reverse the decision...

Update on power and internet

There is none. Surrounding areas have power but this neighborhood still hasn't been fixed. Power cables and downed posts still adorn the backyards. At this point I'll be content with not having to spend Christmas in the dark. But yeah, this is gonna go on for a long while. Because Puerto Rico. Yeah...

Fine, but no lights/internet

Using a family member's phone to type. It's been three weeks since the hurricane and I couldn't find a place with any kind of internet until now.

Dunno when I'll be back. Rumors say by the end of the week but that depends on people not being asses and destroying towers for the hell of it. Again. 2017-10-11 16:30:42 +0000 UTC View Post

Yet another hurricane-related update

We're getting yet another hurricane in this area (namely María), except this time it's gonna be a direct hit. If all goes well I'll be finishing and uploading an ink wash painting within the night (preview 2017-09-18 23:53:09 +0000 UTC View Post

Practice + Important notice

Quickie done during the last stream to de-stress. Mostly doodling, as far as the hair is concerned.

Anyway. Hurricane Irma is hitting the island today, which means chances are I'll be going offline for a while. And by a while, I mean anywhere between a couple days to several weeks...

Update on stuff

Multiple things to go through, but I'll make it brief. Shouldn't take too long.

1. Rig is now stable. Or at least seemingly-stable. It's been close to a month since the last crash so I'm gonna assume so.

2. Gonna work on a more stable stream schedule. Now th...

Stream schedule, plus Tumblr update

Two important updates this time. I'll make this quick.

Based on these past days, we now have a semi-stable schedule regarding streams: They will happen every night except (most) Wednesdays and Saturdays. This, of course, means there'll be a stream within the night so look forward ...

Future stream announcement

A heads-up for those still watching this space: Tomorrow night I’ll try to do a stream. It should start at around 10:30 PM AST, though in reality it’ll probably be a bit later, depending on how long it takes before grandma goes to sleep (because privacy issues are ...

Quick note regarding the new rig

Currently there are some stability issues with the new rig, all related to the motherboard's current BIOS (apparently when I chose the RAM I picked something with speeds that were unsupported). I'm tweaking the settings to see if I can get it to work alright, but I'm still dealing with random reboot...

New rig has been built

It has issues with remaining stable during high heat/humidity situations (which makes it unusable on most days and some nights), but it's finally here! Just need to unrust a tad and the streams will resume.

Why do I need to unrust, you ask? Because I ran out of sketchbook pages a long while ago an...

Semi-final update: All rig pieces are finally here

After a month-long rollercoaster of emotions caused by Amazon-related shipping delays, I finally have everything needed to build the new rig. Part of the arrangement was that I'd build it in front of a family member so they'd know how to build their own, though, so it won't actually be functional un...

Not the smallest update but still pretty small

The graphics card has yet to arrive in the mail. It is now over a week late and I doubt it'll be arriving tomorrow due to an island-wide protest that's probably gonna bring everything to a standstill all day.

That is the only part that's missing right now. Once it gets here the rig can be built. A...

Rig update

Almost all of the rig pieces have arrived—all that's missing are the motherboard, the graphics card and the hard drive. Everything should be arriving within the week or the next (hopefully the former), so proper updates are expected to resume soon.

Once it's built and I've made sure it'...

An update

Parts for the new rig will be ordered on Saturday, so this content drought should finally be ending soon. Apologies for the lack of pics, everyone, and here's to everything going back to normal in the coming weeks.

Pen practice

Need to work on making my lines clean again, but it feels good to do this again. Only issue I have is with trying to do the lines where I want them atop the kinda-dark pencil lines.

I need a light box. Or at the very least, an eraser (the threshold function in Krita and Gimp can only do so muc...

A small postmortem

Just a list of stuff I need to work on for when I use tones next time.

• Gonna need to make smaller versions of those tones for when I don't need to cover much area. Since the method involves putting the tones on top of where I want 'em and erase/hatch away the highlights I'll need to make ...
