So, after accepting the commissions and the art trade, my computer died and was sent away for repairs.
Game over for the artist.
BUT! I have about two weeks left before I leave and in this time, I do expect my computer to come back (that is, if the stupid company actually makes an effort to return it to me). Until then I am afraid that a forced art hiatus is in effect, with paper and pen drawings being the only source of art from me, and no way to post my doodles as of yet.
I'm really sorry that I have accepted commissions that I can't yet complete, but it will happen.
Until then, good bye
for now.
