The NAS is now up and running. The Read/Write speeds are good over wired LAN, with Clip Studio Paint loading and saving the Piranha pic's .clip file (w/ timelapse) in under 20 seconds each on desktop. But i can make it faster by adding an SSD under it. I'll likely do that in the near future.

Update: I got my NAS, and I'll be using 8TB. I was on vacation for the week, but I'll be setting it up on one of my off days (Mon/Tue). I saw that it can be directly connected to my desktop in my bedroo. But then I'd have to get a wired LAN card to make it happen.
So I gotta transfer the file from desktop to laptop over wifi, then continue there since it'll save normally. But then I gotta transfer it back to the desktop if I decide to be on that for the day.
So I think I might just get a NAS so that I can put projects in there without further fuss.

Okay, I said I'd SHOW why progress is slow on Piranha... but I really can't be assed to go on the comp when coming home from work. I have a drawing laptop along with a drawing desktop workstation. But of course, both need to be on for them to access and share files with each other

The amount of time it's taking me to finish the Piranha pic (especially with work wiping me out when getting home) is telling me one thing: I gotta utilize 3D models more, especially with buildings that detailed. I'll try showing what I mean when I get home later today.

So I finished doing the signs, so now I can work on the buildings. As of now, the left side of the buildings have their flat colors. I still have to do the right, center, vehicles, and pavement.
The signs that were too blurry, I'll still use as they appeared in JSR as long as they're further back.

I finished the 2nd Sketch for Piranha's background. But Before I start doing the Flat Colors, I gotta do some of the signs that'll be visible. I'm having some success tracing some of the more legible ones, Like Ken and Mary and Bom Bom.

It is done. I'm sorry to my UK peeps. But I gotta block ya'll from the Blue Fish Apartment. You already know I draw NSFW artwork, and I got age gates up for artwork that needs them. But the UK wants me to see your ID, or give it to a 3rd party. I ain't about that life.

Around this time, I was nearly done with building the new BFA website and had some time. So I draw up one of my other OCs, the Nameless Mermaid. It had been 6 years since I drew her.

Finished shading in Piranha. Now onto the background. I actually did this before shading in Piranha, and it took a lot of trial and error. I booted up the game to get some shots of this section of Shibuya-cho. But it didn't go so swimmingly.

Looks like the twitch in my left hand is keeping me from drawing anymore tonight. I'm right handed, use my left hand for my Tartarus V2 for told and functions.

WIP Artwork ~ The Creation of Piranha (Jet Set Radio)

So I might change up the Back-Art posting since I still have quite a bit to post, and I need a place to just talk about what I'm drawing now, and not constantly subjecting myself to brainbleed over on Shitter.
It's also gotta line up with my Full-time job schedule (when I'm cleared go back)
