I didn't get a lot of commissions when I did them, but every now and then a client would say how happy they were because this is the first time their character, or their own self, was visualized in this form, and they would be so appreciative of how it came out... It would always be such a magical moment. I miss that feeling :')

I would be lying if I tried to convince y'all that external validation wasn't a reason that I kept trying to take commissions, haha.
