I'm stupid. I didn't even think to update this with the recent 'crisis.'

Basically, any and all commission orders are haywire. I lost all of my data in a severe harddrive crash a little over a week ago, and that includes ANY AND ALL digital commissions and/or PSD files I was slated to send off. What this also means is that I lost 5 years worth of artwork, a great deal of which I've sold off to random buyers. To say this is a fiasco would be putting it mildly-- as it stands, I'm shocked as hell that I'm not still in a numb cloud of 'WTF?!?' about it as we speak.

The dead HD is being worked on, but it doesn't look hopeful insofar as data retrieval is concerned. In the meantime, I'm working off of a shitty 17gig Western Digital that may or may not konk out on me as well (it's like... four years old) at any given moment. Ergo, I havn't loaded Photoshop up on it, nor does it look like I'm going to until I find a replacement for the 40gig that was lost. Yes, it seems like a 'convenient' excuse, but it's not. Ask [info]feren-- he sat with me through the whole crisis, heh.

But, a lot's been destroyed. A lot of my written history is pretty much obliterated. That, and college is taking up a lot more of my time than I wagered. I've gotten a couple of icons finished as well as some more sketch material, but like I said, I've lost any and all descriptions that have been sent to me and/or archived for commission-related use. PLEASE, if you're on this LJ and you have a commission, email me at ashryn (at) earthlink (dot) net and give me the details again.

I've got a 60 gig still under warrenty, it's fucked - but I can RMA it. Want the replacement?

Wow. Sorry to hear that.

I know what it's like to have a computer crash. Not a lot of fun. Hope everything turns out okay. Or..as okay as possible, I guess?

That really, really sucks. I hope one way or another you can recover it, if not i'm really sorry to hear about it.

I have no idea how much it costs to do so, but there are always options to get your data back.

DRG does data recovery for destroyed disks.. if nothing else they can give you a quote, they do that for free. Sadly, I didn't see any pricing information on the site, I'm sure it isn't *cheap*, but depending on how vital your files were, it is always an option. If nothing else, don't give up hope, and hang onto the disk for a while until you can afford to have it done.

I'll have to fish out some old .rtf's again, then. Also, I'd to talk to you about the commission. Don't worry about it...I'll give you more details when I come back from a pj concert tonight. Or tomorrow, what ever the case may be. =)

I once had a simulatenous failure on two drives because of problem with my motherboard corrupted the data on both. Since I work as a contractor I had to get the info back or I was screwed. After searching around I used www.drivesavers.com who got almost all the data back. Problem was they were expensive! 1,800.00 for two eighty-gig drives. Thankfully it was a business deduction, but ouch.

Oh, and this probably sounds pendantic but you really need to get a DVDRW capable drive and back-up every night, or an external firewire drive to back-up to. Cost me 1,800 to finally figure that out.
