I should have mentioned earlier that my drawing tablet kicked the bucket, it was a cheap little Huion tablet and the USB mini B port on it broke. I've been screwing around trying to see if I can solder a new port in it's place and so far there have been issues with the type of solder I have melting at too high of a heat to flow easy instead of bridging contacts, points being to carboned/oxidized to have solder stick to them, and the replacement ports i bought being flat mount when the original was a through mount (and therefore half impossible to position on the board). There's some solder paste coming in the mail that melts lower and has mixed in flux so it should just be a matter of putting a little paste on the board, sticking a new port on it, and getting it hot enough for the flux to burn off while the solder melts and sticks to contacts. If i still can't get the old tablet to function, I'll just have to cave and buy a new one; either way I'm going to look into getting some magnetic breakaway connectors so that the cable will just disconnect instead of breaking a port if it gets tugged or pushed too far, i was really careful with my tablet so I don't think that's what happened to it, but the cable breaks aren't that expensive and not being able to draw digitally has been driving me up the fucking wall.

In other news, I'm further compounding my overcomplicated dead end of a lore universe by designing another race of sentient creatures that just exist there. That's right, Dumbass McParagraphreply has two weird OC races to sit in the corner with now, and I plan on slowly designing a whole universe ecosystem with even more weird things. Faelins are mercury based lifeforms that you've probably seen in my lackluster art, now there's another race you're going to see start cropping up that's copper based and works differently from those mercury weirdos. So far, these copper monsters look more like mammals, with cult classics like "shitty hellhound" and "what an opossum looks like when you're having a bad trip on some pills some guy gave you at a gas station". My working name for the species is "Cyufelk" and I plan on designing another form that's flight capable, but I don't want it to look boring so I have no idea when it will be a thing because I have to wait for good inspiration.

Lastly, until my tablet situation is resolved, I'm going to be doing stuff in traditional format when I can, which doesn't look as good and takes longer because I'm trash at art and less practiced with paper. I have a new thing that should show up as soon as I get good internet access though, so I guess there's that.
