Incredibly Slow.
Lately editing this site has become somewhat of a challenge. Connecting to the dashboard at WordPress has been a nightmare. It frequently lags out and at first I thought it might be my ISP but I’m honestly not sure any more. I contacted my host and besides upgrading to a new server there isn’t a solution. If they can’t replicate the issue. It doesn’t exist. I don’t really know how to describe the issue either. “I keep getting timed out and can’t connect to the server when trying to connect to WordPress” isn’t descriptive enough. I don’t have a specific error I’m getting so…
It is what it is I suppose.
Not Gaming
Day Trip: Quarry Hill Winery
They aren’t the best photos as I was a little embarrassed to be taking them.
I’d like to go back, take some better photos, and visit the apple orchard down the hill someday.
Whisper in the Wall
I started (and stopped) working on this image months (maybe years) ago. The idea was to self publish a children’s book. Then I looked into it and realized it was just impractical. Nothing I make really sells so I just couldn’t fathom going through with it. I only ever worked on the cover and a another page. It was more like a short graphic novel…
Even though the cover isn’t really finished or up to snuff I really liked some of the details, like the lamp light on the wall, the peeling wallpaper, and the picture hanging in on the wall. I tried to make the hall seemed curved eerie and unnatural…
I even found the sketch I made when I was doodling up ideas!
Celeste
Yesterday I was trying to determine if my Wacom pen was broken or not (I’m still not sure). So, I thought that while I had a migraine it was a good idea to work on some detailed backgrounds for something important.
Naturally, that wasn’t going to well, so I started working on this, Celeste, or Celestial Queen (sounds like a ship though so let’s just go with Celeste).
The pen is definitely broken but it is functional occasionally. Considering the amount of time and how angry I was at the pen I’d say the drawing turned out great. The background is a little to dark to sell as a print so I might tweak it a bit a post it on my redbubble shop later.
Commissions are still open…
/// edit:
Wacom Pen miraculously seems to be working again? I’m really not sure why the eraser stopped working for a bit and then I tested out some old pens from other tablets. Turned off the touch settings (which continually turn themselves back on) and the pen is working again…
My Wacom Intuos5 pen is broken
! I was working on commissions and the next morning it was behaving strangely. It is over sensitive and selecting things it shouldn’t. The only way I made it through the last few commissions was by using the the eraser to select and edit nodes in Microsoft Expression. It was a little clunky but manageable (the eraser side is about the size of my pinky and lacks the fine tip of a normal pen). Unfortunately, all other art programs recognize it as an eraser so no editing in Adobe Illustrator, no Photoshop Elements, and no Krita. Replacement pens cost a bit more than I’m willing to part with at the movement so I’m just doing everything by mouse and by eraser and it is taking forever.
Commissions are still open.
I’m just moving a little slower than I’d like.

It always seems like when one thing goes wrong everything starts going wrong but I am determined to not let it get me down or at least not for too long.
