So for the past few months, I've been working really hard on preparing my portfolio for applying to school. So hard that I didn't really pay much mind to my computer's performance quickly declining, so I was extremely surprised when the hard drive crapped out last week! I'm not asking for computer advice, as my partner's dad works with technology professionally and has done all he can. What I really need is as much of my artwork as possible!
I am incredibly dumb and had not backed the files on that laptop up since 2011. All I have is the content I have uploaded to Weasyl and some work from FA. Ironically enough, my computer died a couple of weeks after I wiped all the art from the FA account I'd had since I bought that laptop.
So, I'm calling out for help collecting some of my work! I don't expect to recover all of it, but if you have anything at all (i.e. commissions or trades I did for you/artwork you did for me/any of my work you saved for reference or inspiration/my work you've seen people post to Tumblr), please PLEASE send it to this email: RooibosFiles@gmail.com or comment/PM me here.
Even if you don't have anything you can send me, please pass it on! If you'd like to retweet my twitter posts regarding this, my account is @RooibosArt. You can also reblog this post on Tumblr: http://monstergut.tumblr.com/post/77106175942/doggables-my-friend-aardys-computer-died-and
If you're unsure as to who I was on FA, I used the accounts Rooibos and Rosehips.
I don't have a lot to really offer you guys for your help, but I greatly appreciate it and I'll do my best to make it up to you!
i'm sorry i can't be more helpful, but i don't think i saved anything of yours that wasn't a commission i ordered ;o;
here are a few of them i found

I don't have anything but I'll spread the word if I can. I don't use twitter or tumblr but I'll tell my friends who do.
Here are the two wiggly icons you did for me! I feel for you, that must be so frustrating--somehow I managed to have my files intact when my hard drive failed this October.

This is super unfortunate! Sorry this happened Rooibos. I think the only artwork I have that you did as a commission was a wiggly icon. I'll keep an eye out in case I see any on tumblr though!
