JUNE 2024 UPDATE

Hey whats up vanny here
I've yet to get a commission on this platform, but I figured an update I can pin to my profile would be helpful for posterity's sake.
Things at home have gotten to me a bit more than usual recently, and with the uncertainty surrounding whether I can make moving out by end of this year a reality, it's created lots of room in my head for depressive episodes and breakdowns. The pervasive sense of hopelessness isn't something I can easily get out of this time, so I'll be taking a break from monetising my art (commissions, on-demand art, etc.) from anybody regardless of closeness.
It's partially the situation at home sending me into depressive spirals, *but* I've noticed part of the problem is my brain associating the frequent disappointment regarding trying to promote my commissions or OC selling with the idea of art in general, which has contributed to a very long art block that's still ongoing. It's nobody's fault specifically, it's just how it is in this vast internet. I put my instagram on hiatus as well so the stress of feeling the "need" to post is lessened.
I'm trying to rethink my relation to my art, and *really* putting in the work to not rush myself. The only commission currently in my queue may take a while, though I've already notified. I want to be careful with the balancing act between mind and paper/canvas, but I'm hoping to finish the commission within 3-6 months since that's the longest TAT stated in my TOS, and also for professionalism. Shop will still be open, especially after the predicted leftovers from September's convention.
Will probably still post here since I have no attachment to FA in the way I do with Insta. Yippee
