Just to update - I know it's been over a week, but I'm admittedly still feeling burned out. I haven't forgotten about this thread; I'll get around to it when I genuinely have the energy for it again. Thank you for your patience.
Hey guys I just wanted to give another update for why I've been gone for so long. I don't know if anyone still cares about these shenanigans or is checking but at all, but I genuinely haven't forgotten about this. v_v
I actually experienced an absurd amount of burnout with art. I think going forwards, the plan will be to actually make bases for Lorwolf breeds. It will help with the burnout and it will be less expensive. I've been wanting to do this a while, but genuinely haven't really had the time, energy, or brainpower to devote to making any...
I had an ENORMOUS amount of computer troubles that actually wound up killing my old computer entirely; I cannot access it, and have not only lost files, but I can't get Photoshop to work on my new computer. Apparently, my version of it was too old; although I fully paid for this program, my new computer cannot run it due to its incompatibility. I've attempted various workarounds, but I don't have access to it anymore, and I really am not going to pay a monthly/yearly/whatever subscription fee for a program that was previously a one-time buy. I don't have that kind of money.
At the moment, Artfight is currently under way, and I'm focusing on that with a temporary program. After that, I'll be looking into alternatives for Photoshop (hoping to test out Affinity Photo, for instance). Right now, I'm currently using Photopea as a free alternative, but it does not have very good pen pressure control, which heavily affects my style and the quality of my style. (In addition to the brushes themselves being more crisp and less soft, which also changes how it looks.) So...
TL;DR - I have not forgotten about this. Everything kind of exploded, and I still don't have a program that works the way I'd like it to. Sorry about the radio silence on my end. I've been a bit overwhelmed and stressed out admittedly. Hope everyone else is doing well.
