For those that don't know, I've been working on drawing again now that The Six Realms is officially done.

Sadly last week was a bad week for me, which also included a critical failure in my new gaming laptop. Monday something happened and the failure was that a bunch of DLL files suddenly failed, disabling quite a bit of the laptop, including the ability to shut down right and my antivirus working like it's supposed to. I was figuring maybe it was a temporary memory fault, so I tried restarting the computer, which should reboot the DLL files correctly. Well, when I tried this, it also said it wanted to update. But it wouldn't let me restart or shut down to do the update. I actually had to manually shut it down. When I turned it back on a few seconds later it started updating like nothing was wrong. But then it said it was going to prepare Windows to start up and... did nothing after that. It was stuck on the "Preparing Windows" screen. So I left it there over night. When I got up, it still said "Preparing Windows", which isn't right... My net's laggy and crappy, going at most 17 kB/s, but even then it would've restarted by the time eight hours has passed. So I left it on all of Tuesday to see if anything would change, which it did not... So Wednesday I had to take it to the nearest computer shop. Sort of a shame, too, because the shop doubles as a cigar shop and I still have the smell of smoke on my shirt no thanks to that.

Anyway, my computer's STILL in the shop and it's been over a week now since it's been in there. Joy...

I was working on some new art, too. A redrawing of an old character. This has effectively slowed me down. I'll be working on the concept sketches I've been working on for Tales of the Darkside while I wait...
