Apologies on commission delays(again)
3 years ago
sorry to post another one of these, again, but I feel its better than saying nothing
Sorry for the delay on commissions, for like a week now I've been having weird random sickness, namely stomach problems and insomnia. not like the insomnia really ever goes away but today was just pretty freaking bad and I could barely get out of bed. This is with even trying to go to bed an hour or so earlier
So I dunno what's up
My commission sales have also basically entirely dried up suddenly, which sucks and is pretty demotivating. I guess its better my list is short but early June and before I was selling art pretty consistently and then suddenly I didn't sell anything for two months, all of July and August if I'm sure, until a week ago.
I don't think my sales have been this nonexistent since 2019 when I went 8 months without pay.
It just sort of reaffirms to me art isn't a job and I'm going to need to find a real one, at some point if I'm able .- .
at least my commissions are almost done though. I'll have more time to focus on my art and things I actually wanna draw, I guess.
my commissions list is pretty short as most of them are partially lined already, or already have completed coloring
Just saying if something is slow that's why : / very sorry

Ngl I've had my eye on that Horny Hounds one since it posted. Finances just haven't been working out in my favor to make it happen yet though :c
Damn, everyone seems to be having money issues lately ;-; my buyers, my friends, other artists I watch. Economy must be going to shit or something. : / I hope you're doing ok!
Yeah, the whole state of the world doesn't seem too good for money right about now. I'm doing all right so far though, not going broke just yet! Hope some more interest starts coming in for you ♡
Glad to hear you're alright! take care!
I don't know how people live independently at this rate. I feel like I'll never get to move out, and I don't even have a actual job yet.
Rent for cheap-ass, low income apartments in the crime-ridden areas out here in Texas are 1500$ a MONTH. That's how cheap rent is right now. ;/ can't rent apartment out here under 1500. Food in stores is crazy expensive too suddenly. All our stores raised every product about 2$.
I live with my parents and they don't have issues affording food(I don't eat much expensive) but I don't know how people live without multiple sources of income.
I wonder if its like this in the rest of the world, or rural just Rural texas. Gas is nearly 8$ a gallon.
No fooling, dude! Life's rough right now! Supply issues everywhere are making prices go up, inflation on the dollar is higher than ever, and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Here in Tennessee, housing and rent prices are almost double what they were just a couple years ago. Cost of groceries is spiking and that's if they even have things in stock. It's insanity. :|
I have no idea what the fix for all this is gonna be, but I hope it gets here soon, because fucking hell, we can't go on like this!
But somehow I believe my own problems with my personal art has bled into my commissions.
I never seem to hit gold lately and now I'm just left discouraged and unmotivated with art entirely. I've tried loads of advice from friends and other artists, and I still have issues. I think I'm just artistically broken at this point : /
We're having supply issues in Texas.
It's a strange mix of everyone out here buying too much because of Covid(we aren't even on lockdown?) they are still buying specific food items "just in case" Covid gets bad again.
So our stores are constantly out of random shit. And then the stores mass order something, and then its popularity drops off. In the case of food they apparently had to throw out expired food in mass.
I don't think I'm smart enough to understand what is causing inflation, but yea its definitely going up. One of my friends said "the richer are getting richer and the poorer are getting poorer" it feels like it. Someone told me inflation hasn't been this high since the 1980's but I don't know if that's true.
Groceries have gone up crazy lately.: / one of my friends traveled through California and she said food was more expensive than gas.
I don't have any fix ideas either : ( I feel like the climate of everything lately is polarizing in every direction.
