Okay, I know this is getting ridiculous, but I'm posting another "stay alive" post here. I'm still working on the Squetch Rig updates, which are making me reassess the modeling on Sam. So, lots of tweaking, watching reference videos and more tweaking.
I replaced my old broken small Wacom tablet with a medium "One by Wacom" (CTL-671) tablet (http://www.wacom.com/en-in/products/pen-tablets/one-wacom-m) that I picked up at Amazon pretty cheap (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013STQI50/ref=s9_simh_gw_g147_i1_r?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=1FCZ29A3GDBP1YC5DY7F&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2079475242&pf_rd_i=desktop). It'll come in very handy when I get to texturing Bertram. I'm liking it so far.
Also, I should be in the process of a system upgrade over the next week...I'm finally able to replace the laptop that was destroyed a little over two years ago. I'll make sure there's nothing wrong with the new laptop (to be sure I don't have to send it back for replacement), replace the hard drive with two SSD's (cheaper to do it myself) and then migrate everything from the old laptop. Once all of that is done, I'll be able to do a few things the current laptop can't handle, like make tutorials. It'll be good to have a dedicated graphics card again.
