At least I'm okay and my apartment didn't burn down.
Added 2024-09-21 00:42:52 +0000 UTCHello, my dears!
Sorry for disappearing, but there were reasons for that.
Remember how happy I was when I bought the new equipment I had been saving up for over three years? This equipment cost me much more than I thought...
I was happy that I could advance and grow as an artist. One of the really cool artists complimented my new style and gave me some advice on Instagram. In general, people were very happy, and my works became more voluminous.
What worried me a little was that the glass panel on the GPU side of the case got very hot so much so that you couldn't put your hand on it. (If I am correct in naming that PC box that contains the video card and everything else.)
And on one of the most wonderful days, I started up Cyberpunk 2077 and went to the kitchen to make tea. While talking to my friend Victoria, I smelled something. I decided that it was from the street and closed the window. But the smell got stronger.
And then I saw black smoke pouring out of my room. When I ran in, I saw that my computer was literally on fire. I've only seen this on YouTube and always thought it was fake. But my PC actually caught fire while I was in the kitchen.
We put it out with Coke that we bought yesterday because filling the pots with water took too long. And when I poured cold Coke on it, the glass burst not the display glass, but the case's GPU glass.
I cried for a long time, as my build and my dreams flew out with the smoke.
I don't know... I believe in fate; I believe that everything is not accidental. Sometimes I read the signs of fate. But now I don't know what fate wants to tell me.
It's so discouraging because I've only been using this new computer and new drawing programs for two months. I was so devastated that I cried for several days, but I finally pulled myself together.
I'm so sorry to say that I'll have to go back to my old gear and old style for a while.
But know that I won't leave you without content. Creating art for you all brings me so much joy, and I refuse to let this setback stop me. Honestly, my only cure for feeling like crap is drawing cool and sexy girls.
Old tablet, old laptop, and old style.
So I'll keep doing what I love, and I hope you'll continue to enjoy it with me.
Thank you all for your understanding and support. ❤

Thank you. ❤ Nice to hear. Maybe in a couple of years. And then I definitely won't be greedy and will buy a warranty 🤔

2024-09-26 21:32:16 +0000 UTCSo sorry to hear that! Saving up for so long and then losing it, I can't imagine the pain. I hope you'll be able to gather the money and get a new setup again. You've been one of my favorite artists for a while now and I was impressed and loved how your style improved after you got the new setup. Hope you don't lose courage and are able to go "back to the new style" and follow your passion with a hopefully this time not too hot PC, we can leave that to your art xD

2024-09-26 19:29:18 +0000 UTCThat's right! Always buy a warranty. I decided to save money and that's how it turned out. It's my own fault. But I got so many words of support that I feel much better now.
Ange1Witch
2024-09-25 16:32:04 +0000 UTCYikes! I'm really sorry this happened to you! I have heard of PCs melting down a few times, but nothing like this! Especially with PCs being so expensive! And warranties are also super expensive, but I always get them with computers because I'm afraid of things like this happening. I'll still look forward to the older art style.

2024-09-25 01:26:13 +0000 UTCThank you very much. It's very kind of you. But I'll try to gradually save up and attract people to my Patreon. In the end, it's my own fault for not taking a one-year warranty.
Ange1Witch
2024-09-23 18:55:43 +0000 UTCThank you :) well... It seems to me that the difference is still noticeable between the styles when I draw on different equipment.
Ange1Witch
2024-09-23 18:53:57 +0000 UTCThat’s terrible, but thank goodness you are okay. Please don’t feel discouraged; your art is fantastic whether it is made on old or new equipment!

2024-09-21 22:21:38 +0000 UTCThat's great to hear, and I'll definitely be looking forward to it! Keep up the great work ❤️😁
Starki
2024-09-21 18:09:55 +0000 UTCThank you very much. Everything is possible in the future. Now I will be very careful and when I buy a new PC I will get a one-year warranty in advance. 😁
Ange1Witch
2024-09-21 17:36:49 +0000 UTCThank you! It is very pleasant to read your words. Sincerely pleasant. When I understand that somewhere beyond the oceans there are people who support me - it inspires and gives strength. 💓
Ange1Witch
2024-09-21 17:35:40 +0000 UTCThank you for your words of support. Yes, I cried a little, but I realized that tears do not solve problems. And I need to get distracted - and the only way I can get distracted is by drawing. And now I already feel better.😊
Ange1Witch
2024-09-21 17:34:28 +0000 UTCThank you. Yes, I'm fine. The main thing is that my hands are intact - and I can draw. but no... the store had a one-month warranty with the purchase. It was possible to take a one-year warranty - and pay extra. Which I didn't do... maybe I should have.
Ange1Witch
2024-09-21 17:32:57 +0000 UTCYes, it was a fucking unpleasant situation. But it could have been worse. The main thing is that my hands weren't burned. And yes, life sometimes throws up very strange situations. But we have to move on. (And not only move on, but also draw beautiful girls) Thank you for your words of support! ||ヽ(*￣▽￣*)ノ

2024-09-21 17:30:14 +0000 UTCMachines can be replaced, you can’t
Dr_SCP1313
2024-09-21 17:26:08 +0000 UTCYes, that's right.. It was NVidia. But they told me that it was not an insurance case and they would not be able to replace it under warranty. （⊙ｏ⊙）
Ange1Witch
2024-09-21 17:25:58 +0000 UTCAt first it was hard. But tears won't help. And I realized the only way out is to direct energy to something hot (but not as hot as my computer) and sexy. And I have already started drawing a new art pack. This is the only way out of depression. And with each new stroke I feel much better.(〃￣︶￣)人(￣︶￣〃)
Ange1Witch
2024-09-21 17:24:35 +0000 UTCYes. Thank you! Emotionally, I also came to my senses and try to look positively. I have already started drawing. I will get used to the old tablet again :)

2024-09-21 17:20:50 +0000 UTCYes, thank you. I am completely fine. I came to my senses. And I’m returning to business no matter what :) and I have such support in you. 💕
Ange1Witch
2024-09-21 17:20:32 +0000 UTCYes... I was terribly upset at first, but I realized that I could have burned my hands or gotten injured somehow. But I'm safe and can draw. Thank you. It's very nice to read words of support. （￣︶￣）
Ange1Witch
2024-09-21 17:18:32 +0000 UTCThank you. I am lucky. It is very nice to hear words of support. 💞
Ange1Witch
2024-09-21 17:17:09 +0000 UTCThank you. It's very nice to hear. But I've already started drawing - a small art pack will be ready in a couple of days. I can't leave such wonderful patrons without content. 🧡
Ange1Witch
2024-09-21 17:16:32 +0000 UTCThank you. For some miracle I didn't get burned and the broken glass didn't hit me.
Ange1Witch
2024-09-21 17:15:12 +0000 UTCYes, thank you. I try to look positively - after all, I could have become a homeless vagabond. ( •̀ ω •́ )
Ange1Witch
2024-09-21 17:13:30 +0000 UTCI'm very sorry for what happened :(, I can't imagine the pain you went through, but know that we all support you, for the art you make. I just hope you can recover and maybe in the future you'll get better and nicer equipment, ❤️

2024-09-21 15:34:04 +0000 UTCDamn, glad you are safe. I'll keep supporting you. Love ;)

2024-09-21 11:42:03 +0000 UTCGlad you are okay, and damn, I am super impressed that you got your head up again so quickly and decided to push through it. Wish you the best!
Jaska
2024-09-21 09:35:46 +0000 UTCSo sorry for you ! The good news in that is that you are not hurt, and you limited the blaze in time. Electrical fires are no jokes :x Take your time to recover for this ! as your new laptop was only 3 month-ish old, aren't they under some kind of guaranty? some damage insurance for your place, to at least recover a bit of your material loss ?
Von Hoefer
2024-09-21 06:27:44 +0000 UTCHoly shit, I’m so sorry that happened to you. At least you’re physically okay and still able to make beautiful art. Life can throw curveballs at us and they can really suck, but it’s important that we keep going in spite of it! And if fate doesn’t like it, then it can eat my shorts!
BlueBoy
2024-09-21 05:27:47 +0000 UTCIf it's an Nvidia GPU... then you probably were a victim of their shitty power supply connector. It's not the first time this happened to someone...

2024-09-21 04:11:53 +0000 UTCWow I’m sorry to hear about your rig :(. Hopefully you’re physically and emotionally okay that’s all that should matter.
