SO I failed to reach my goal in time. :<
I'll be working to finish commissions over the next month, but sadly, my internet has officially been cut.
My father managed to work out a deal with my mother to work at her place until we can get the bills paid off.
To everyone who's commissioned me over this, I do apologize- It'll be some time before I'll be able to deliver on my part, due to limited time to get online. As long as my neighbours don't notice my husband using their wifi, we should be able to sort out the major bits and I should be able to work out the transfers for everyone I owe art to.

Emergency commissions are still open despite this. I can't afford to close up shop at this point.
Please spread the word. I'll be able to answer notes and comments on my phone via wifi, but beyond that, my capabilities will be severely limited.

I'm sorry everyone. I really did try. This is gonna be my last journal entry for some time.

Wish me luck.

As it stands, I could not only lose my own Internet/phone/cable, but my father could lose his. He works from home for a call center, which means he needs his Internet to work. They're asking an astounding $900 from him in order to hook it back up properly. To top all of this off, my husband and I are looking for a new apartment. We're currently facing eviction or homelessness, and my father could lose the job he's had for years now. With outstanding debts forced onto us by an ungrateful family member who's refused to pay back what he's burrowed, we're at a loss for a solution.

This is my attempt at getting out of this pit.

This isn't for me, this is for my family. Every cent will go towards paying off debts and getting back into good credit. Without these debts paid off, we'll lose everything.
We have everything to lose. Please note; all commissions bought for this reason will be treated with absolute importance. Normally, commissions may take days, weeks or even months to finish.
This time around, I'll work my fingers to the bone to crank out as many as I can, if it means saving my family from this horrid fate.

To anyone I owe commissions out to already, please send in your references again. Your orders will be completed, as I can no longer offer refunds on any of them, due to these expenses.
PLEASE spread the word around. Any donations or sales are encouraged and so very appreciated. You'll not only get art in return, but will be included in a Thank You project should our expenses be met.

Unlimited slots are open until the goal is reached. PLEASE understand that this isn't just any emergency situation- this is dire. We could all be facing homelessness and bankruptcy. All proceeds will go to paying off these debts so we can keep our connections open, and get back to our regular work schedules.

Without phone, we can't keep in contact with Tim's school or my father's workplace. Without internet, I won't be able to continue commissions. This is my last ditch effort in solving this problem, so please, PLEASE, any little bit helps.

To donate or purchase something, please note me or comment here.
Please help! My entire family depends on this last attempt!

    So I go to start on my owed commissions yesterday and get about an hour's work done on one before suddenly, as if haunted by some vengeful anti-working demons, I'm sudden zooming in, out and all over the place. Selecting menus at random, suddenly closing windows, scrolling all over the place- and only unplugging my tablet finally ends the torment.

    Well, without my tablet, I can't draw my owed works.

    With my tablet, my entire life becomes a chaotic mess of pixels.

    I've had this problem before and I solved it by disabling parts of my tablet- namely the touch pad and quick buttons. Doing this, however, makes it less reliable for pressure and performance.

    I run a Bamboo Fun tablet, model number CTE-450. It's older than Photoshop CS6, which is what I use for my works.

    I've got the most up-to-date drivers available as far as I can find. I also have the new Bamboo Dock app which actually worked better at setting up my tablet's sensitivity and calibration than previous programs.

    I'm looking for a solution, but nothing's coming up. No one else has posted this problem as far as I can tell, and it's really starting to grind on my patience- I need to get these works done, as I've owed them for a while and emergency expenses last month drained the money I could've offered as refunds. Fees on my bank account already sucked away the original money paid, much to my horror and dismay, so cranking out these works is my only option- and I refuse to let my customers and friends be dropped like rocks over some software issues.

    Please be patient, this is as frustrating for me as it is for you.

    Anyone who's had these issues, PLEASE tell me how you fixed it. If the solution was getting a new tablet, I'm screwed. :|

    Argh- someone help? Please pass this along to someone you know uses Wacom products. I'm desperate.

    WHEW OKAY.

    So here's the deal. Some personal crap went down, I ended up being far too busy and far too bogged down emotionally otherwise to get work done. Between being in the hospital and then moving not long after getting home, drama in the family and various other suddenly-you're-an-adult crap that's flown in at me, I've had to put myself into an unannounced and unexpected hiatus!

    But here's the thing! We're all settled into the new place and things have finally, FINALLY, calmed down enough that I can work on my long-owed commissions and such.

    To my customers;

    I would like to publicly and sincerely apologize for not informing you of this hiatus sooner. I've already offered this to some of you, but now I'll offer it to everyone I owe paid art to;

    For compensation, and for making you wait so long without word back, I'd like to offer each of you one free colored sketch (which I will do via livestream some weekend after I'm finished my list) of any character you choose.

    I also promise to have everything done by next Friday night (June 20th, latest 12am Atlantic on the 21st) and will be putting time aside each night until then to work strictly on these owed pieces.

    I will honestly admit to biting off more than I could chew at the time. I will not let you all down, though, and you will have your commissions soon.



    AGAIN: PLEASE, IF YOU HAVE COMMISSIONED SOMETHING FROM ME AND YOU DID NOT POST ON MY PREVIOUS JOURNAL, PLEASE SAY WHAT YOU ASKED FOR HERE OR VIA NOTES.

    If you would like to change your order, now's the time to do it. Please be fair about changes- if your order is a port, don't ask for a full painting instead, because you didn't pay me for that. :P


    Again, deepest apologies to my customers. I didn't think life would be so hectic as it was. I'm now in a place where I'm not handling it alone and what's there to handle isn't major.
