Opening commissions soon™
a year ago
Hello! Sorry for my absence as of late. I had hoped to be much more active with art, but my physical and mental health both continue to suck. I've been suffering the effects of what I think is Long Covid; for about two months I was exhausted and in near-constant pain, every joint hurt like I was 90 years old and I could barely do any physical activity without feeling like I'd run a marathon. On top of that my mental health crashed and I was in a pretty shit state. I'm on some medication now for the latter issue, which does seem to be helping, but tbh I still feel very burned out and just...not built for this world, lol.
Anyway, self-pity and whining never got me anywhere, so I'm trying to be proactive and will be opening commissions again soon! They'll be mostly the same as before, with a few notable changes:
- Smaller canvases. Rather than working at 4k resolution for everything, I now paint on 1500-2000px canvases. This allows me to achieve greater detail and improved quality while cutting the tedium in half.
- Lower prices. Some prices have been lowered. This is a direct result of being able to work faster; it's not a drastic change, but my more detailed work should hopefully be a little more appealing now.
- Revamped scenery. Scenery was a point of confusion before. I had intended for it to be partially bundled in, but I often found myself having to tack on complexity fees. While the base price for scenery has been raised slightly to combat this, things should still be lower overall.
- Revamped sketches. I could never settle on a style for this tier, but I've been really happy with my sketches lately and figured I'd run with those. They are a little pricier now, but they come with better shading and detail, and hopefully stand out more.
- I no-longer accept PayPal. This company honestly sucks and I'm still salty about the time they tried to steal almost $2000 from me. Seriously, fuck PayPal. I shouldn't need to stress about whether or not my account is going to be banned every time I use it. I'm switching to Stripe via my Ko-fi page.
- I no-longer share images without my watermark. I'm really sorry, but I've lost count of how many times a full-res piece without my watermark has been uploaded by mistake, or even used by another artist. This goes for sketches and WIPs as well.
- I'm undecided on NSFW. Pinups are fine, but I'm currently not sure if I want to continue drawing outright porn. Please bear with me while I figure this one out lmao
Hopefully these changes aren't too much of a turnoff. I just really want to fix the things that were bothering me before, and what better time to do so than a brand new start :3
