Oh man oh man. I got a monitor arm for my Big Honking Tablet, and it's so much easier to move around and use now. Does this mean I will Art More? God I hope so. There have been so many times where I wanted to draw, but putting the 22" monster into position and then trying to find a way to balance it on the desk (at an angle because. that's how I draw.) without it tumbling off or having to use my upper body strength to brace it was just exhausting to think about, let alone do.
I used to pull the little 12" thing into my lap and balance it against the edge of the desk if need be, but definitely can't do that with this one. I've already completed a sketch idea for my deck (which. uh. for those who don't follow me on instagram, ahahahahahahaha oh. oh man. that deck needs SERIOUS repairs. fucking twisted and rotted joists. One day I will get back to art and cosplay on instagram, but for now it's me renovating my house. thanks quarantine), a handful of designs for Crescent Cavern, and I'm actually at the shading stage of an Org-Inf Mission. Like holy hell I'm getting shit done!!
The downside is that during all this set up changing and rearranging and my decent into cable management... I broke the screen of my monitor. The 32" one that I just bought... two years ago? Something like that. A screw rolled under it while I was readjusting the stand and went through the screen.
So now there's another $300 on my visa that I can't really afford, but I can no longer work with only a single monitor. Upside: it's a budget curved gaming monitor that looks so much nicer than the broken monitor and it came with girl guide cookies.
Anyways the whole point of this post was to gush about my new set up and the way it's already increasing my productivity, and that I have girl guide cookies.
Also. Go follow my instagram. I currently update once a week with everything I've done around the house that week, with story times of shenanigans like that time it rained and I wouldn't let Rinoa out and that time it rained and the hail was bigger than normal. Oh, and you'll probably be the first to hear about New Dog when I finally get them. Breeders waiting lists are long, but there's a Golden Retriever out there in the future with my name on it ;)
