Computer things here: Hoookay, so my brother figured out there's actually nothing wrong with the hard drive but apparently Windows just messed something up. No wonder, though. The installation is already over 3 years old. At least I don't have to buy a new hard drive but I'll still have to make back-ups of my files since the operating system needs to be re-installed. Hopefully that will speed up this laptop a bit (it seriously takes at least 10 minutes for it to start up... Otherwise it has worked just fine). At least I don't have to wonder what to do during the weekend... I'm so not waiting for installing all the programs again but if I'll survive that and manage to get all the necessary things working I could try to promise some streaming during the May Day.

Vacation things here: Other than that, my summer vacation apparently starts after 2,5 weeks. I thought I'd start my internship then but when discussing about it the employer wished I would be there working during July and thus I would start in the middle of June. All the same for me really, my summer plans came crashing down anyway a while ago. I can as well have my summer vacation in two parts.

Commission things here: And what comes for the vacation... I thought I could take a couple of commissions then since I have rent and bills to pay but won't get almost any money at all during the summer. So... Tentatively, would there be people interested about commissioning me? I'm still pretty confused about using PayPal but maybe I could figure that out. For me it would be easier if there would be possible commissioners from Finland but I could see about that PayPal payment possibility.
I haven't figured out the possible prices yet but for example I guess a full digital commission could be something like 45-80 € depending about the complexity of the picture (45€ for something simpler without a too detailed background and 80€ for something with more effects and more complex background etc.).
Of course I could do other kind of commissions too, like simple character pictures, busts, linearts, sketches and so on and those would be somewhat cheaper too. I'm not totally excluding traditional commissions either but I'm a bit careful with them since I'd still have one traditional trade part as my burden and I lack confidence on my skills with those mediums. Aaaand probably traditional would be more expensive anyway.

So yeah... Busy life is busy. And filled with school assignments. I'll have those for summer, too...
