Hey guys. Some people have asked me before if I'd post an art thread, and I've usually declined because ***i dont paint enough***, and that hasn't really changed. But it kinda sucks that I don't paint more often and it sucks more right now because even when I do want to, i.e. like right now, I can't :/ If you're not interested in ARTSY ANGST (artgnst? arngst. Argnts...) skip to the bottom where I'll post pointless pictures and save you the trouble of having to click links and stuff :o
Summary of my problem:
...Yeah. So, this isn't actually out of date. It's still pretty accurate, rounding down. :|
That's not to say I haven't painted at all in the meantime! I definitely have. Little things here and there, usually. A significant part of my problem is I can't finish things. I work too slowly to speedpaint and get bogged down in the details, before losing interest because it's taking so long to render a particular section. My pictures folder is full of pointless scraps and sketches.
Spoilered for no-longer-relevant!
Anyway, it's not all bad. I got out some fun stuff in the last year, even if it's not a lot.
(You may have seen that one around.)
(The last thing I finished. It's for an RMT!)
Blissey HO: A Romance (screenplay by probably Karxrida , he's gonna want to get in on it before Disney scoop up the rights)
Random junk from eras gone by:
bw-on TCG was a fun time for me
turns out I can't paint over greyscale
i r homestuck trash, dibs on battopsprite btw #noragrets
"now i am become death, creator of injokes and poorly shopped images"

The OTHER thing holding me back is my backlog. I've so many things I *want* to finish that I can't start a new thing without feeling incredibly guilty. An excellent example of this is something I started on January 7th, 2013...
And I'm STILL WORKING ON IT.
Note: This is an outdated version. The latest one has most of the left hand side rendered, including Darkrai's arm, + Blaziken's foot and a whole bunch of other fixes (shitty contrast + lighting, jesus that's over saturated), but I can't post it because of *depressing reasons*:
Anyway, my third and MOST (de)PRESSING reason for not drawing rn is: My laptop, which I bought new a year and a half ago, is almost totally, uh, totaled. I'm really pissed about it. Forget the shitty battery or the gradually increasing patch of dead pixels on the screen, or the fan which broke 6 months into the purchase, mostly what bothers me is the consistent BLUE SCREENS OF DEATH ON STARTUP. It would help if I'd backed up my stuff, too - I might have some backups somewhere dated from the mid summer, depending on if I copied my CV or not, but I'll have to find whatever USB I used for that, IF I used one at all. I'm really hoping I didn't do all of those updates after that ;_; In the meantime I still occasionally try to turn it on in the hopes that this time it'll work and I can ninja my files off it before the whole thing collapses into itself.
_____________________________________________________________________________
So question for viewers with an opinion: I'm in the market for a laptop that'll run Photoshop and Paint Tool SAI under windows 10 that has a solid battery (preferably removable), decent screen gamut and won't break when it's 6 fuckin' months out of warranty. Suggestions? I don't have the greatest luck when it comes to picking laptops.
