May be able to take comms again soon!

General
I went ahead and got a Cintiq for myself. I was concerned about pain and certain issues, but so far so good!
I worked on some personal art as tests/practice, and in the finishing stages of a large image for myself, and it still has been going well!
I also took on two commissions, one of which I've been able to already start rather quickly (while I'm waiting for info on the other one). And I've been working on these before work (if I have enough time)! That's huge for me!
And inking has become fun again, too! Inking used to be so frustrating to do on a tablet because my hand-eye coordination wasn't great so I kept making mistakes and feeling frustrated. On top of that my mental health has been a lot better!
Lots of good things happening!
I still want to finish a few more images before I take more people on, just to get a better feel for certain things and get some kinks out.
However, when I do start taking on comms again I'll wanna start out with smaller things! I was overloaded with large illustrations before, so I'll wanna break it up so I don't still feel overwhelmed with that. I'll have more info when it comes closer to when I am ready to open! :3

Target is still very random with the schedule, but I'll take advantage of days where I can do art as well. XD
That's certainly a productive and good use of the free time, though.

Next week is 10-5 which is still weird.
A week prior I was 8-4:30, 7-3:30, 6-2:30. Each day could be different!
I like working mornings starting at 6, but I've usually been scheduled sometime in the early afternoon now. Bah!
The 10-5 ones will be hard to do art beforehand. I tend to stress out if I only have a few hours before work to try to do art cuz I worry I'll somehow end up late. Bah!
