Update: RP, Commissions, and Life in General
4 years ago
General
Hello Sugas
Been a while since this durg did one of these update things, but here we are. So first things first lets get a few things out of the way
RP, since my bowing out of RP on Discord I have found it has been way more beneficial than I thought it would be. Twitter despite being well twitter has a really good RP community that have been very patient with each other so far in my regard. I have ran into a few bad actors and I still need to watch out for certain accounts of the illegal range, But all in all it's been great. I have been RPing with a close set of friends and a certain special someone on discord, and again, no I will not reveal them to you and if you dare harass them about RPing with you are on my shit list. I should have more time for RP since its getting close to summer break college wise.
With that matter out of thee, and you haven seen it in the title. I believe... That I feel comfortable enough... To work on commissions. My drawing skills are still a little off and I am still working on some personal art that I hope to complete soon, but I believe with my skill level coupled with the skills that I learned in Graphic Design I can
A. Work on half body somewhat full body shots with sketching, lining, and coloring
B. work on Icons
C. Be comfortable enough to work on someone elses character with some references to use, of course
Again, I am not perfect, so when it comes to these commissions its a get what you paid for sort of thing, along with that is art security since NFT's are sadly still not dead yet. (From what I have been that bubble is going to pop soon and I will be there with a bag of popcorn to watch the chaos after) I will be implementing a watercolor logo just for the sake of hopefully not seeing my art on one of these damned NFT sell sites. Hey, this durg is not perfect but she does not fuck around with people stealing my art or anybody's art that she commissions from. I will be writing up prices, and guidelines with also updating for color and texture commissions as well. I am highly considering doing some character auctions with the base packs that I have obtained through purchase, I have already talked to the creators of these base packs and they have given me the ok to do that so long as I give credit and make sure it's not overpriced...... This is also stated in the terms of use in their base packs that they allow the use of character auctions but I still want to make sure. I WILL NOT WORK FOR FREE OR "EXPOSURE" so let's get that shit out of the way right the Flip now.
Ok Life in general, next semester is my final semester in college before graduation that is the good news. Bad news the 9/11 GI bill only allows 4 years, so I will not have funding next semester from them (even though I pretty much served my country, and find it bullshit that veterans get treated that way, but hey can't have free education in this country *rolling eyes*). Middling news I have signed up for scholarships with some in my graphic design field and one in particular dealing with the 4 year 9/11 GI bill bullshit, so hopefully I get funding from one of them, I still have Fasfa, and hey, worst case scenarios if I do have to get a loan, those bastards are only going to get me for one semester so hah.
I will be having a job over the summer since I sadly have things called bills so, there will be times I won't be free because of that, and next semester will be me doing an internship so yeah, if my time this semester was hell wait till you see me dealing with shit on the road to graduation.
To address the one off journal that I have just deleted, that was me at a low point, the stress of work was getting to me and I was having a panic attack about a certain creator on FA. I don't want to name them, but we have talked it out and sadly that is as far as I can go, they will have to tell you about it if you ask them.
On the side note Iam finding out I may be starting to be more Genderfluid that I originally thought, I mean I still have this masculine aspect, but the Feminine side of me is starting to come out more and I am imagining scenarios of what will happen if I well went through the process. I haven't even told my family yet about me feeling Bigender, and I don't imagine telling them of my Gender fluidity. I have time to think about it, but if it comes to that I might need some help down the road.
I think I covered everything correct *looks to Cado and Plantana who gives a thumbs up* OK^^ with everything out of my mind expect more from this durg in the coming months or so
Talk to you all later Sugas ^^

Hell, I still abide by Don't Ask, Don't Tell when it comes to LGBTQVX-whatever.
and secondly, I am not at that point. and as far as don't ask, don't tell I'm glad that shit was repealed don't care if you like that notion or not
