Good news
3 years ago
Good morning/day/evening, depending where you are.
I noticed that I haven't updated in a good five months, so I figured it's a good time now.
Finally, I've been able to finish all of my workload. I can not thank people enough for being so understanding and patient with me. I will be re-opening business shortly, albeit with some changes to my ToS.
Another thing that I'll be changing is just how much work I'll be doing at a time. Back in my country, I did not have the privilege of choice when it came to income, as I could barely afford basic necesities. Work, any amount, was very much welcome. While it -still is- welcome, and this is still my main source of income, I am not in a situation of near poverty anymore (thankfully) so I can safely be a bit more lenient.
With this, I mean I'll be taking smaller numbers of commissions at a time (let's say five at a time) and reduce the amount of comic pages too (Making two or three at a time instead of 12 for example). And while I am still okay with big projects, I'll be choosing to work on these by very small portions instead of all of it at once, for the sake of my mental health. I'll also focus on personal art on the weekends, since I haven't been able to in a while.
All in all, I am happy that it's all done and I am sorry it took that long to get it done. Hopefully now I can have a more normal work routine without all the stress and uncertainty. Don't get me wrong, though... a lot of that stress was from the place I was living at, rather than the workload itself.
Also, it's been really god damn hot lately. It's like the tropical hellhole weather follows me wherever I travel to... haha. Ugh.
Anyway, I'll be reading you later!

Take care of yourself!
I'm delighted to hear that things are less stressful where you're now living, and I hope things continue to go well for you. I'm sure that being able to reduce your workload will make any projects even more fun and enjoyable, and I know I certainly look forward to seeing whatever lies ahead.
As for all of that heat you're dealing with, just use it to roast up some tasty snacks.
Also, I am sure you can cook an egg on the sidewalk at noon. Unfortunately, I am also getting a tad roasted myself.
yeah, putting a big workload on yourself is never a good thing for yourself, so it's good that you are pacing yourself more on the work you can do. and glad to hear things are less stressful where your living now.
The weather sure is blisteringly hot over there too, along with being pretty dang stormy recently! Hope it gets more pleasant all around to everyone soon.
