After my previous journal I've been thinking a lot about what would be the best way for me to deal with the whole situation so I can actually move forward at last, by far the hardest thing has been talking to people, any kind of people, I get overwhelmed very quickly, but I'm trying my best, on that same level, is trying to revive my accounts, since I haven't posted regularly since 2016, besides those short bursts of posts on 2020, my art is all over the place since I have been getting a lot of commissions on forums or discord channels, so there's not much consistency which makes it hard to get an appealing gallery if you were used to only seeing muscular men, but oh well, I guess in the end is a good things since I actually like variety.

Now the important thing, since I haven't forgotten about it at all, quite the opposite, I've been thinking about how I'm gonna tackle the backlog. Over the past month I've been analyzing stuff to figure out what I need to not just keep on a perpetual state of barely getting by, but actually slowly climb back out of this hole, so I need to make roughly 2k USD each month, which is not that hard, but in order to achieve that consistently, I need to stick to just 'simple' pieces, drop backgrounds unless is extremely simple, and stay away from anything beyond silver tier for a while, that'll allow me to work fast and in doing so also regain my speed and be able to do multiple pieces a day, which I used to do back in 2016 .


I will divide my month in , for now, roughly 2/3 of it, to gather money, and the rest to work on the backlog, at least until I get away from the danger zone I've been in for years now, to get to a point where I can spend more time on those, since they're all basically what now I define as Gold Tier (which is a fancy way of saying just full color/soft shading with some linework). I've set up a trello account to show what I owe, and progress on the pieces. The level of completion is all over the place, since different circumstances occurred when I was working to cause that, some pieces are easier than others, but in the end I will complete each and everyone, but it's gonna take a while, that's why spent the last month trying to figure out the logistics of it, cuz in the end I need to prevent the same thing from happening again.

The first month has been slow, mainly cuz yeah, trying to revive accounts has not been an easy task, I've looked closely at the numbers, level of engagement and it's clear to me what you guys mostly like from me, and most of the pieces that are popular, are the gold tier ones, and those are quite old now, so the process is gonna be slow, I'm not sure, I might also need to try and reserve some time for personal pieces to help grow my galleries again, in the end I just wanna bring quality content to you.

Here's the link to the Trello Site https://trello.com/b/6VMseAkn/blazi.....it-commissions , I know I missed some commissions, so if you find yours ain't there, please drop me a DM on discord since it's the quickest way to get a hold of me.
