I Feel Lacking in Something
3 years ago
General
I dunno what it is honestly.
Maybe it's my work ethic? (I stream every other day or so)
Maybe it's my poor organization skills? (I tried using Trello, but I couldn't keep on the ball to keep updating it)
Maybe it's my anxiety over my bills each month?
Maybe it's a lack of something social to do?
Maybe it's my art style that's not evolved enough? Are my prices too steep? Am I too slow in putting line to page?
Does my patreon need adjusting?
I can't get a bead on what I'm lacking and what I need to focus on...

I follow you because you are able to express emotion and personality in very few lines: while capable of complex designs you can take a simple shape and bring it to life.
I also enjoy your preferred primary and pastel color pallet as it evokes a pleasant nostalgia for me from the early days of the internet, similar to Homestar Runner or most of Weebl's animations.
I do get a bit lost on the vast array of characters on display, perhaps a lack of dedication on my part. About every other post makes me question if they are one of your characters, a commission, or perhaps some tribute to media I have not seen.
It is difficult for me to identify to your presence, not from lack of personality, but from lack of consistent context: I can see a post and think "wait, I think I have seen them before..." and then read the description which becomes "is this someone new, or part of a story?".
I am very context driven, so my views may be uncommon, but I at least wished to respect your inquiry.
Organization is gonna be tricky with as many clients as you tend to have, but seems like you know who has what whenever I talk to you.
Bills are always going to be a cause of stress, even when money isn't as tight it's still a good chunk of change that needs to be saved and used
Social stuff is tough for me, I need time to myself but also I do like to just go out and get a drink or something with friends. Finding a fine balance that doesn't burn me out on being alone or with people.
Your art I think has improved since I first started working with you. Style has changed a little, not to the point of being unrecognizable but certainly improved on some areas that seemed to be trouble back then.
I think your prices are good, color is pretty pricey but you do put a lot of work into it. Your speed is fine if it works for you, there are artists that can sketch something very quickly while others take time, ultimately I feel it's what's comfortable for you. If you want to improve on speed, I certainly wouldn't dissuade you. I know a few artists who have tried to figure out ways to improve on speed so they have an easier time doing streams/art before getting burnt out.
I hope something there helps, I do like your art a lot of course and will continue to stick with you :3 You have a lot of characters and when you do short little comics or have them altogether, I think their personality and expressions really come through. You do a very good job at making characters feel very unique, I can always tell if a character is a returning one (either from your cast or a client) or someone new very quickly.
