Three Things part 1: The Death of my Art
Probably an over dramatic title, but still...
I feel like crying.
I just spent the better part of the last several days, working on my piece for the pin-up portfolio. Which is already overdue :/
So, I was inking the image and things were going well. Dare I say, I was even happy with it. I have been doing most of my inking in Paint Tool Sai as it is just awesome for doing inking, looks much clearer than inking does in PS and the flow just generally feels nicer. However, SAI doesn't have quite as many capabilities as PS does, so I moved it into Potatoshop to do some tweaking on some things. I did what I needed and then went to save. I then notice my computer doing the thing it does when it's 'gradually crashing'. Something it started doing ever now and then since that virus. Basically program after program just begin to stop doing anything and then the screen is frozen but the mouse/cursor still moves, and I cant bring up the task manager.
Anyways, computer crashed & the file was in the middle of saving, so now the file is gone. Being the retard I am, I didnt have a back up file for it. So it's just gone. I've no idea if there is any way, or even any hope of some how being able to restore it. Are there any ideas?
I'm just feeling really crushed by this. I was just starting to get into the swing of things with my art again, starting to get my confidence back and somehow, this one, stupid thing happens and I just cant be bothered any more. And that upsets me :/
Also, Thank you my dear Joshua, for staying up just for my sake to help me not feel so crappy about this whole thing. And generally just putting up with me feeling upset about it. Youre too good to me. <3
