A Setback (Patreon)

So... a minor set back. Well more like a huge setback, but I mostly lost a commission animation. As for the Jolteon and Glaceon animation. I lost most of my renders, and a fair bit of work. Luckily I was able to basically redo the work from a back up I had and am in the process of redoing the fluid sim again.

So what happened was that the shadow client I was using got wiped.  (Shadow if you don't know is a service where you get remote access to a powerful pc. They advertise its for gaming but its perfect for rendering.) The issue was described as a first of its kinda and they're looking into it and have "escalated it." However, not really planning to wait for them to find my work. I'm pressing on with the assumption its gone. I wrote about the experience a bit more in a reddit thread:  https://www.reddit.com/r/ShadowPC/comments/bjt3rz/panicking_about_my_shadow/ 

Lesson learned, be more diligent about backups. I've bought some more cloud storage to work with so even if this does occur I won't be set back as hard.

The bigger lost was a huge commission animation I was working on, that I now may need to redo from the beginning. That part really hurts. 

tl;dr gimme another day or two. Enjoy these previews I took before this horror occured. I'm already almost caught back up to where I was with this animation. Just need some time. Thank you for being patient with me >.<
