When Disaster Strikes
So yesterday our basement flooded and we lost a good deal. The biggest thing for me...is my entire physical portfolio. Everything I have ever drawn and kept from the time I was small...is all gone.
That is one of those things that is priceless. Something that can't be replaced.
Fortunately I had uploaded a small portion of it to my DA account so I have a digital copy of some of the pieces...but its still a great deal of loss.
There were also several "WIP" pieces that will now never be completed.
I'm pretty upset about it.
...and worse yet, the insurance company doesn't even see fit to give me any kind of settlement over the lost art or any of my card collections.
Much of what was damaged was mine seeing as I live in the basement.
I also lost my stereo and part of my surround sound(I will most likely have to replace the whole thing as it is a set). I lost books, book cases, and several original VHS Disney movies which actually adds up to quite a bit of money. My mint condition Original black label copy of Final Fantasy VII was damaged(The game itself is fine but the value is gone now that the artwork has been soaked. I immediately took the case apart and tried to use a hairdryer to save it but the damage has already been done).
There was more but those are the most pressing losses.
Needless to say, yesterday was a kick in the face kind of day.
Massive Re-Upload
Currently in the process of uploading a bunch of really old pieces back into my portfolio.
Its kind of like a walk down memory lane really. Its amusing to look back on what I did then as compared to what I can do now. Of course I am by no means perfect and have only been testing the waters of digital art but I have most certainly improved by leaps and bounds.
Hn.
Good news is that...as a Senior Otaku,I don't have a limit for uploads like I would with a newer account. I'm glad I didn't delete this account after all. though I am very happy that I can get a name change. I...chuckle at my younger self.
Words of wisdom for our newer audiences, choose a name that you can "always" be happy with, not just something that has to do with whatever your current obsessions may be. They change, trust me. Then you will be left years later looking back on your choice of username and just kind of...frown.
On another completely unrelated note... *glances down at previous post* ...it really has been a while.

Enjoy. 
Mmmm
Today has been rather boring. *frowns* Nothing really of note has happened.
I added two new E-card entries into the Espada E-card challenge here:

I still plan on making one more...if I can ever find a picture to match the idea I have. >.>
Anyhow...I need to go to bed soon. Gotta work tonight. >.<
The only reason...
...I would ever want an Xbox 360 is for this:

Now that looks fun!
>.> I think I lied. I wouldn't mind a few other games for the 360 platform but...I'm just a Sony girl through and through. :3
