WALL of Announcements! (long journal)
8 years ago
General
Bassy here! As you can see, I have quite the big journal ahead, so if you read it, I’d like to thank you ahead for taking your time to do so!
First off, my commission slots are all officially taken! Thank you all once again for your preference, and those who missed out, stay tuned for when I open up again! Now, speaking of commissions...
You may or may not have noticed, but recently, I’ve been putting out my commissions somewhat faster than I normally do. There’s a reason for this, as I’ve put many of my side projects on hold for the time being in other to finish as many commissions as I can before the end of the week. Now this isn’t to say I’m rushing them or anything. I’m spending as much time as I normally do otherwise, only that this time I have little else to keep me busy during the day.
So what’s coming up next week? Well, this is where the big announcement comes in. Now as an artist that preffers to keep his personal life to himself, I won’t give off too much details, but seeing this is a big deal that may change the way I work on my art and commissions, I feel that my viewers and commissioners deserve to know regardless.
So here’s the deal: Wolfeh and I, after many years of being together, are getting married!
There’s a whole lot behind our marriage, however. You see, Wolfeh and I are from different countries (we’ve been visiting eachother regularely tho, so there’s a real physical relationship here!). So to make this happen, I’ll be moving out of my country to live in hers. We’ve managed to go through all the paperwork, fees and all that bureaucratic hoopla without problems, so all that’s left right now is the actual moving, which is happening next monday in fact!
So how does this affect my work? Well for starters, my life is sure going to get more expensive than it used to, that with the change in currency and higher bills to pay for the two of us. Add to this the fact that, because of my Visa type, I won’t be able to get a proper job right away. The Green Card, which I need to work legally, is a separate deal that I have to request and getting it could take months after getting married.
In the meantime, this leaves me with art commissions as one of my few options to make some proper income. And thus, it’s very likely that you’ll see an increase in my commission prices soon. I only say soon cause, while I determine how much I’ll amp my prices while keeping it fair for both me and my commissioners, I’ll be trying to measure me and Wolfeh’s expenses. I’ll be doing my best to keep things balanced and make sure my art’s quality remains what it’s worth! Until further notice, all my prices remain the dame as they are right now.
On the upside, this means that, while I remain unemployed, I’ll have more time to work on commissions and the occassional personal piece. Seeing how I’ve been receiving a generous ammount of commissioners lately, both new and regular alike, I feel confident that I’ll be able to put out a good number of pieces during this period of time. And while I’m on the subject, I’d really like to thank everyone for your support and prefference! I’ve never considered myself a top notch artist, but seeing the ammount of people who have shown a genuine liking to my work makes me confident I’ll continue delivering art for all to enjoy!
The last thing I’d want to do is resort to e-begging to anyone, so other than the usual support, I won’t ask anything else from anyone. Wolfeh and I are in no crisises to speak of, so in the meantime, whatever I receive from commission payments will suffice for us. After all, once I land a proper job with a fair wage, I’m sure things will work out better.
All this said, there is a lot of things Wolfeh and I will be sorting out once I move in. Lots and lots of things. Specially during my first weeks. Because of this, my activity in both tumblr and FA will slow down a bit, and this includes putting commissions on hold for a brief period. I’m sure I’ll be able to give more on this when after the move happens, but just be aware in case the announcement for a pause comes out of nowhere. Rest be assured, any commissions slots will be respect and remain unchanged. I’ll do my best to ensure no paid commissions are paused while in middle of progress, but it there is, I’ll get in contact with the commissioner right away.
So just to reiterate, this is not me trying to asking for some pity money or anything. We’ll be fine! I’m merely giving you all one big heads up for any changes that may come to my dynamics as an artist, such as my prices and my work outpit, as well as the reason behind them all.
As one final comment, I’d like to invite all my viewers once again to leave me any feedback or critique you’d like to give on my work. Are there any areas you believe I can improve on? Any techniques that I should stick with in favor of others? Anything, positive or negative, you have to say about it feel free to say it right below!
In name of both me and my dear Wolfeh, thank you all for your time and for your ongoing support! I look forward to continue my endevours as an artist and deliver work that you’ll all enjoy. Peace! ~<3
