I have lost the thumb drive I always kept with me. It used to live in my purse and never leave my side. I put artwork on it that I was working on, and transported the files to and from any computer I used. My heart feels a bit broken because the hugging painting was on that thumb drive, and I had gotten much farther on it (I hadn’t backed up my files, stupid). I need to suck it up and start working on it again from the beginning, but it is too easy to keep moping.
I should be excited about doing more art work because I’m planning to take Stephen Silver‘s nine week, one-on-one, Character Design course this fall. I’ve only heard wonderful things about the course, and I plan on my skills improving greatly.

oh man – i’m so sorry about that. that feeling of losing things is really tough, especially knowing you have to redo the work. it’s hard to not obsess over it.
maybe you will find it still!!!

Arrghhh, sorry. I wish you the best of luck in finding it. Did you have those backed up anywhere?

ARC, I lost it before I was able to back it up with the latest amount of work I put into it. At least I have the original drawings, and the low res preliminary color image from my blog. I have slowly started reworking it already, I’ve stopped waiting for the thumb drive to show up.

I always lose my thumb drive, and panic every single time. Thankfully, it usually pops up again– I hope yours does too!

Thanks PP! I wish thumb drives had GPS tracking installed.

Oh, that’s tough. Hope the reconstruction process is going smoothly.
