hello, my dearest patrons.
i really hate when i have to deliver bad news instead of good news... but i just have to... ToT
i have been experiencing one of the darkest time in my life as a very distressing thing has happened to me - a nightmare to any artist out there - on July 16th, my iPad couldn't turn on and ... I lost all my data, including the eps i have been drawing for weeks, very important storyboards and a lot of original files of my own artworks.
I lost them, both because i was unfortunate and because I panicked and did stupid things in order to save my iPad. I lost them, because for a very long time, i didn't backup them at all even though they were very important to me. it was all my fault, which caused me an even harder time to go through. i was crying for like 3 or 4 days, could not get out of bed in the morning because i could not forgive myself, my gastritis worsened because of stress and anxiety. it was a very hard time for me, really.
good thing is, after a week with rest, family and meds (for my upsetting stomach), i think i got better. i can sleep and eat now and stopped crying, haha (even though i want to cry a bit when typing this ToT) i think i'll be fine soon. as for my iPad, it's not ready to use yet, i'm still waiting for it to be restored, so i can get back to work later.
ep 124 was almost done, but because i lost it, it will be delayed for a couple of weeks. i think it'll be 3-4 weeks late compared to the original schedule ToT so i think for the best of your interest, you can unsub for a month and subscribe again next month when im done with ep 124! and if you guys still want to support me and stay with me... which is a very wonderful thing to me... ToT i'll be VERY THANKFUL and compensate your support with my traditional artworks! without the ipad, i can't work, but i still draw Bao and Minh on my sketchbook, and i'll be uploading them at least twice a week till i get my iPad and Procreate back ToTT
to sum up, thank you for reading this update, thank you for being here and reading my comics... and for staying with me, if you do. ❤️🩹
if there is any updates, i'll make sure so let you guys know. anddd please know that whatever happens or whichever you decide, you guys are still my greatest heros, so i wish you all the best in life.
love,
antarcticbear
*ps: one thing i learned from this was, no matter how dark life might seem to be, it's not the end. i hope every one of us can always stand up after falling, and get better ❤️🩹 (i'm trying).
