hello, how are you, love?

↞ ۰ ۰ x/twitter . ✩ . patreon . ✩ . toyhouse . ✩ . ko-fi ۰ ۰ ↠ I'm not accepting any more full-shades for March, they take an enormous amount of time and effort from me, each takes around a week to complete with my schedule, depending on complexity.
I will also be closing my commissions for a week or so at the end of the month to reevaluate my pricing and commission structure and figure out what I can do to balance my ability to offer quality art for you while still being paid appropriately for my time and effort.

---- mini rant below ----
Sometimes my perfectionism is frustrating, but I refuse to compromise on quality for the pieces I create, because I love creating work that I'm personally proud of. I firmly believe that when I create something that I love, it's more likely that you will love it too! And sometimes that takes a little more time than I originally intended.
I've been beating myself up over not working fast enough, but honestly I'm not upset with the quality I'm putting out either. I'm not upset about how that time translates into improving the quality of my work. So it's a bit of a conundrum. I love the work I'm doing, I just beat myself down because I always feel like I should/could be doing MORE if I only worked harder.
But I don't want to burn out either. Doesn't stop the voice in the back of my mind telling me I'm not doing enough. And at that point it's honestly just a dangerous slippery slope into unhealthy rumination and anxieties about myself and my self-worth. I tell that voice to shut the fuck up and 9/10 times it works. But every now and then it gets to me even though I know it's stupid.
