Commissions, the future & how you can help me out?
2 years ago
Hello there, I have a small update. Nothing of immediate urgency is going on at the moment, but I may want to take on a few "jobs" on here to help sustain myself for a bit. Of course, I am talking about opening for commissions, something I've never done before and I'm not quite yet ready to do, I will explain why.
The main reason I'm not yet ready to open is because of one major thing, I am an artist, but I am also a perfectionist, to a fault. I often dump sketches or ideas because I'm not able to satisfy my own standard when it comes to drawing, I don't believe I am currently at a place where I can offer artwork for a price with a clear conscience. I have zero artistic training and I am 100% self taught. This is also why I commission my ideas more often than I draw them. I would hate to disappoint a client because I'm unable to provide a satisfactory illustration, or the fact that I take way too long on art.
This is where I ask for help. Eventually, I would love to be able to draw my own stuff. At the risk of asking something contentious, I'm wondering if someone would be willing to put up with my annoying arse, and potentially give me advice on how my art can improve? If not someone from this site, maybe some other resource? A Discord server maybe? I dunno, but I'm willing to take the chance if it means I can improve.
If I do open for commissions soon, I will announce it here on FA first, I will likely do a "test run" for a very limited amount of slots, to sort of get used to it. If I can get comfortable with it, I can accept more slots when I open.
Thank you for reading, let me know what I can do from here on, uploads may be a little slow until after August.
