I'm back. Sort of. Here's the short version.
I
was in the middle of making units on New Years but I just stopped. Got burned out. Last December my stress inducing boss was fired/quit. The one that replaced her is better but I've been working a lot more hours. So I've just been incredibly exhausted every week and I have hardly done a thing creatively in the last 5 months. If you follow me on deviantart then the only thing I have uploaded would be my sunset pictures.
Also, my brother bought my Skyrim for my Bday/Xmas. It's an amazing game. But playing 400+ hours in a month can really burn you out. That and playing World Of Tanks (thanks to gwendoline's models) has swamped whatever free time I've had in the last 5 months.
2 Weeks ago in the middle of a game of WoT, my video card started giving out. It was scary. The game didn't crash, didn't reboot my computer. My computer shut down. I couldn't quite nail down the problem but the fan on the card did quit a few times.. so I bought a new card.
So I bought this new monster
It's amazing.
Also got a new LCD to replace an older one with dead pixels.
As you can tell by the size, it's massive and I had to remove my drives to make it fit.. so right now I have a bunch of external drives that really arent meant to be external. Also this fire breathing dragon operates at 175'F so every time I touch my tower I get burned. There is no way I could keep this closed and give it enough air.
This was the first thing I made using this card
It started off at 10000 pixels wide and 2 gigs in size until I shrunk it down. It's a mosaic of my favorite sunset sport near my home. Took all night to make it because even with a 1gb video card the computer still ran a bit slow and hot.
So, I'm back. A little. Work is still exhausting and time consuming and I dont know how much free time I can devote back to animating but I've stopped gaming for the time being.
