It's Not The End For Berto Berto

Hey everyone, i'm giving you an update on whats going on right now...
my laptop's HD is no good and I can't retrieve my files at this point...
that includes all my recent materials for RE:ANIME 3 and RE:ANIME B.E... DanMan and BertoBoy... Business files and other important personal projects i've been working on.
but I am working on trying to get those files saved... I learned that it is possible, thank goodness.
however it's just gonna take me time and a lot of money that isnt easy to get.
So I can't take any commissions for digital projects until probably june, hopefully sooner.

In the meantime I'll be getting back into toy customs, drawings and paintings... I gotta stay motivated and make sure nothing keeps me down and always have faith!

I gotta be honest, I'm really sad and depressed and was scared that I'd lost a lot of hard work and energy. I felt like I'd almost lost my life completely and felt that it was the end for everything. Like I wouldn't be able to present recent works to clients or job interviews. I was completely shocked and scared and I did cried. I cried hard cuz art is my life and what I created may not be enough to please others or earn me money, but it was something that kept me going and something that kept me happy!
I think I speak like a truthful artist when I say all of this.

I don't know what more I can say, except stay tune... it's not the end for Berto Berto!!!

Im glad you're looking at this in a positive light Berto. Your art didn't make itself, you did, and you didnt get lost in the HD crash lol. So you will figure it out, and if you don't, well, it's on to the next one!
