@SynergyEclipse isn't that great to hear!
I honestly don't remember how the last year started but it continued terribly, so here's to great 2023 for all of us
So far so good for me too! At least it feels productive

@Kelheor Still in the "we'll see" frame of mind.

I started off the year being sick, but I'm better now- and being more productive than last year; working on a comic, ordered re-prints on a comic I ran out of(re-prints shipped out yesterday, so I'm guessing I should see them by Friday at the earliest), and ordered this LED lightbox/pad that I had on my Amazon shop list since 2016...the price dropped by $30(originally $90) and I had a gift card credit that someone gave me at Christmas(and made up at least 80% of the cost). I had just thrown out my old lightbox(got water damaged in the storage fiasco, so this is an upgrade- the LED light pad is BRIGHTER and thinner).

The LED light pad arrived! Box was damaged, and I almost lost it, but the light pad isn't damaged...the size is 14" x 22" with a workable area of 12" x 20"

And yeah, it's a Huion..! It is REALLY thin & nice!

The re-prints came in yesterday...happy but kind of "meh" at the same time. I really dont like this new paper/stock that they're printing the interior on; it looks like it's sucked all the life out my color work.

When your computer so slow it pauses your music whenever you put stylus to screen

Sounds like you're using a program that eats up a LOT of RAM; you might need to get more RAM...but if your computer is at compacity, then it may be time for another computer that's more powerful.

Speaking of music, I started curating my anime tunes playlist to listen to when I'm working on art/comic pages.
