MERCS UPDATE LOG #1
Heya! Figured I’d drop in a lil update for @officialmercs and how everything is rolling.
Okay so it’s been about a solid 2 weeks since I dropped the first 8 pages for [OPERATION:CHROME] and I have been hard at work to get 8 more pages done, even if it’s taking a tad longer than I thought , I am just one guy doing literally everything after all, sketches, Lineart, backgrounds, dialogue, the whole shabang and 9 yards.
But here’s some good news, the iPad that I use to make this got it’s screen fixed so I don’t have to constantly worry about cracking it more by putting too much pressure on it with my stylus,
Bad news is that literally the hour after I got back from the repair shop I found out that apple added anti-repair measures on 3rd gen iPads and above where if it detects aftermarket parts (aka anything to repair your apple products with) it would secretly gaslight you into buying a newer model by making you think the repair guy fucked with it somehow. In my case it’s the fact that everytime I use my pencil stylus to draw anything but straight horizontal and vertical lines, the lines get wavy, at first I thought I got scammed by the repair shop but by some fucking miracle I found out that I’m not the only one with this problem https://www.forbes.com/sites/jaymcgregor/2023/07/27/apple-punishing-ipad-pro-buyers-with-new-pencil-software-lockdown/
SO WHERE DOES THIS LEAVE ME?
well it leaves me in quite the pickle, but it ain’t over yet my friends for I have meddled with the stabilization on procreate as a temporary fix until I figure out what to do, I’m not gonna let those poindexters win with their blue shirts and their overpriced coffee and their liquid garbage they call IPA’s. Even then if worse comes to worse I’ll just grab one secondhand off of OfferUp or something like that.
Tangent aside, progress on the comic will be a bit slower than usual but don’t worry bout it, it’ll all be good in the hood.
Stay frosty fellas, and I’ll see ya on the flipside ;)
