EDIT 8 (May 13th) VERY IMPORTANT!!! LAST UPDATE ABOUT OLD PC: ...yes...I've been called today as they tried putting up the new piece to fix my pc. The fact is, it doesn't work as it should and the only thing left is changing all the screen making it an expense of 160Euros.
Which means-- on Monday I'll pick my pc back as is, without fix, and I'll keep going with it until it's still alive and I have all the money I need to get the new one.

I'm settling my goal to 900Euros for this new pc- so right now I'm at 176/900 Euros needed. I will start working again on digital commissions fastly as soon as my old pc is back, and I may keep it for as long as I can and then...bye bye.



Edit 7 (May 12th) VERY IMPORTANT: MY PC WILL BE BACK IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. I've been at the service centre a hour ago and at last, they told me they're mounting the new cover on my pc and it'll be ready in a couple of days. Please know I was on the edge of starting a war today when i stepped in the shop so you can tell I'm highly relieved now.
Thanks to your AWESOME help I've now gathered 176 Euros!!! To pay the expense. In the meanwhile I'm working on the last emergency commissions as well as starting some digital commissions foreseeing to have my pc back soon enough. If you still want to help me out and support me with digital or traditional commissions, I'm still open. Thanks!! :D


Edit 6 (April 30th): I've been at the service centre yesterday and they told me the piece for the fix hadn't arrive yet. I'm waiting for a possible call today or next week (tomorrow is holiday so I'll have to wait some more days eventually). I would like to mention that I've gathered the amazing amount of 136Euros, ot mentioning the digital commissions and reservations I'm currently starting!!:la: Thank you so much everyone! I'm officially starting to save money for my next pc!:la:


Edit 5 (April 23th): Still no news about my pc. I'm assuming it's being repaired, I will send you an update as soon as I know something else! Still gathering money for the expense and the next pc, now reached 91 Euros!! Wow, thank you so much everyone!!!
I've shipped the first orders and now waiting to know the last confirmation about the third. I will post the updates and pictures soon! :aww: If someone else wants to help, please feel free to contact me!!



Edit 4 (April 17th): Thank you again everyone for your support! 73 Euros have been gathered so far!!!
I've had news from the service centre and basically they're waiting for the piece to arrive, and this is good news, but they haven't told me their correct estimate nor the date when I'll have my laptop back yet. They keep repeating the expense will be under 100Euros so I'll have to rely on that!
On a brighter note. the first emergency commissions have been finished and will be posted shortly. If someone is still interested in ordering something I'm definitely available :aww:



EDIT 3 (April 13th): Thank you very much for keeping track! I still have no news from the service centre. I will contact them tomorrow to hear if they know something about it, or at least have a first estimate.
So far I've reached the great amount of 58 Euros for these emergency commissions, and also have a new Digital Commission!! You're really amazing, thank you so much!:love:
I definitely look forward to pay the expense/ a new pc thanks to your help. I will make a new update when I have more news! :)



EDIT 2 (April 9th): I've taken my pc to the service centre. The guy checked that the screen was still working and then also claimed he was scared as I was about closing it- in the last day the crack got bigger and it became impossibile closing it without breaking the whole thing.
I've left it there so they can check how to open and fix and give me an estimate. They told me it should be below 100euros, they will call me as soon as they know. Wish me good luck!


EDIT 1 (April 8th): Thank you everyone for your support! I'm really moved and I don't know what to say. Thank you for your signal boosts and for wanting to commission me. I have some news for you.
I called some service centre in Milano, who told me they have to see the pc themselves. The issue is, if I close the pc I'm probably going to completely break up the guide. Sooo... hopefully I've found a service centre nearer (and not in the messy middle of Milano) where I could bring my pc to be examinated and eventually fixed.

I've already made my mind that if the estimate cost goes higher than 100Euros, I'm going to salute this pc for good, maybe attaching another screen to it to work until I get another new one. This baby has 2 years and a half, and costed me 500Euros so spending 1/5 for a fix doesn't really makes sense.
I may go see this centre today, I will let you know when I have other news.



This is an emergency. I'm writing as my pc's screen is risking to go to pieces and saving my files.
***Basically my pc turned off due to over-heating. I waited for it to get cold, cleaned its fan, and when I opened the screen again it cracked on one side getting out of the guide. I'm risking to lose it and damaging the screen for good.

I'm opening some traditional and sketches commissions as I won't be able to use -my own pc- for a while.
I have another one at home but it's not mine so I can't use it for long time like this. If you can please help out!!!
