I thought I'd posted this on here but apparently I hadn't!

Back in June of this year, my secondary HD suffered a serious crash. I'm not sure what caused it, but I hadn't gotten a chance to back up a lot of the recent stuff I had on it. After that, my laptop AND main computer both ate shit and died. You know how these things tend to come in threes.

The result of this is that I've been forced to re-do any existing commissions I had on the plate. If I have a .jpg of the image or have worked on it using traditional methods, that means I'm able to duplicate the image, at no extra cost to anyone, but it's also why it's been taking me longer than my usual standards of 'for-freaking-ever.' A lot of email addresses got lost in the shuffle, so I'm missing 50% of contact information. As with before, I need people to email me at ashryn at gmail dot com so we can get back in touch. Some of you I have sketches done for and I can't get in contact with you.

Anyway, that's what's going on. It's been a bit of a struggle trying to put the pieces back together, but in the midst of it, I've been managing to differentiate my style even more from what used to be (especially now that I have nothing to fall back on). This has been a good thing for my artistic progress (being freed from the burdens of past stylistic mistakes), but it's been an absolute nightmare in terms of keeping customer orders, er... in order.

So that's the deal. I apparently have no luck with technology since this isn't the first time this has happened, but it is the first time the data's been unrecoverable on all fronts, which is ass.
