CLOSING ALL DIGITAL COMMISSIONS for 2-3 weeks by SpartaDog

Okay, this is a little more drastic than I was hoping but

I have to close digital commissions for a few weeks. I had planned on doing this anyway, since next week I will be at Illuxcon, and the week after that I will be prepping for Furpocalypse, and the week after that battleferrets will be coming to visit for a month. So I won't have a lot of time on my hands to put into sitting down at a computer and drawing for 5 - 8 hours a day like I normally do.

But on top of that, as my previous journal says, my OBS and Photoshop have not been playing nicely lately. I tried everything I can possibly think of with OBS/my computer to fix it, so streaming is pretty much out of the question for a while. And then I thought hey, maybe it's Photoshop. So I uninstalled and reinstalled....except it wouldn't let me reinstall. Apparently since my Photoshop was a cracked version, some of the original program files were damaged and I cannot get another cracked version. So I literally don't have a drawing program at the moment.

Before anyone suggests, yes, I have tried other art programs. MangaStudio lags just as bad as PS but WITHOUT streaming, Paintstorm's interface is so cluttered it's actually stressful, and SAI isn't Mac compatible. I might try Medibang Paint but even then I won't be taking digital work until things settle down. Depending on how I do at Furpoc I may buy a desktop PC for work and keep the Mac laptop for casual use and travel.

HOWEVER! I am still taking traditional commissions, with the understanding that there may be a delay for the reasons listed above. I am trying to save up for a Cintiq on top of the potential new computer so every little bit is appreciated!

    have you tried Krita? I've heard some good things about that program.

      I haven't. I have that, Medibang Paint, and an old version of PS to fall back on if nothing else works

        I'm hoping that what ever the issue is, is a small easy fix for you! nothing more aggravating than having a computer problem and no idea why its happening.

          Thus far it has not been anything close to a small or easy fix x_x Gonna have my mom try a factory restore soon, and if that doesn't work, it's time to go computer shopping :V

    Finally got the money to commission, since couldn't last month, and this happens. XD Ah, my timing sucks.

    Seriously though, I hope you're able to find something that'll work soon, Sparta. Your work is gorgeous, the world needs more of those sexy equines. <3

    yeahh i think a desktop might be your best bet and a good investment.. at the very least, desktops seem to just handle things better than laptops, with the desktop you'll get plenty of memory and probably won't have to worry about how lightweight your programs are.
