The tablet situation isn't as bad as I was initially fearing. I can still draw with the old Wacom Intuos tablet even though I don't like it. This is the first picture I've drawn with it since 2017 when I got my Yiynova. Obviously the Yiynova didn't last anywhere near as long as I was hoping it would, but I'm glad that the Wacom still works just as well as it did when I bought it, even if I'd prefer to be working with a screen tablet right now.
My current appraisal of the situation is looking a lot more optimistic. I think I will have the March rewards done within the first few days of April, which means I will probably not be suspending pledges. I still have a sketch to finish but I'll be able to do it as long as I don't try to rush it.
