Moving Again/Possible Commission Opening...
a year ago
The Move
So, to spare some of the details, I found myself questioning if I want to stick with this job and stay in Austin or move back home and find another job. For the sake of my own mental health and wanting to be closer to friends and family again, I chose to leave my job of two years and move back home. If I had any idea how 2023 would have turned out, I'd have made the decision to stay and looked for another job, but at the time it seemed like everything was going well and this pay raise would help me find my own place again, so I made the move anyway...
Future Commissions
Anyway, what this means is that I'll be taking a while to make the move and set everything back up in my new/old place, for the time being, I am unemployed with nothing in savings thanks to my surgery I had last month, so that means I will more than likely have to turn to simple commissions for the first time in a while to build a little financial security. Addressing the elephant in the room, yes I know that I still owe some works, and I have every intention either complete or refund them. So, with that said, I will only be opening these commission slots with the guarantee that they will be completed within 2 weeks, then I can reopen them going forward with this same format if it tests well. In the past I've found it a lot easier to motivate myself to draw when I'm only focused on drawing and not with my IRL job, so I have faith that this will be successful in making myself draw more frequently.
In Closing
I am always checking my messages even if I don't post, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask
Aside from that, I'm hopeful that this move will be a positive reset in my life, and I can start focusing art again
Thanks to all of you that have supported me over the years, I hope to stick around for much longer

Gotta see if I can chip in to help, can't promise anything but I'll keep it in mind.
