SkullKaizer New Journal

Hello!
Been a long time since I wrote a Journal. Well let's do that.
Lately I'm coming back to draw digital paintings and engage on the platform. I missed drawing detailed art and had settled on only drawing my webcomic LBUB, which I use to focus on my story telling skills and is about cute repair robots in a world with no humans. I chose to draw it like a draft with not much rendering and sketchy art, so I can be consistent and have a weekly schedule of 1 chapter a week. I kinda stopped doing the paintings I did, found a regular non-artist job, got married and still am, with my happy wife! So now I'm back. I don't want to just work a non-art related job but also I can't afford to live with just commissions to stop that job. I had done commissions before but I massively undersaled my art for what it was, just because I didn't thought my art was unique enough or that I would get commissions at all.
So what do I do, whats different now? I think its the fear of missing out of the only thing precious to me, doing art, not any art. I dig to draw Skelletons, Demons, Mechas, Armors, or mix of them all. Will I have commissions? Yes, I will also do adoptables. Will this be my main focus? No it won't. I want to upload personal work and have fun. Providing you with art you can enjoy.
So how am I imagining this will go on. So I commit to upload at least one painting per week, I'm already creating Art and keeping a buffer folder for times I won't be able to draw. I do that also for my webcomic. Whats a buffer? instead of uploading all art at one time I keep some work to upload later. This helps you have always some works to show and avoids times where you would't upload for a long time.
Why Adoptables? Most of my art are characters I drew 1-2 times and then move to something else, so they are perfect for someone who wants them. Of course they will be pricy. Commissions will be a bit cheaper than adoptables but still pricy. Why? Because I value my time, I'm not a starving artist, I don't depent on commissions and I belive its worth that price.
So AI is scary. But even more scary than AI is to stop drawing. Art is already hard and many artist stop at some time for varius reasons. I mean why do I draw or why are you drawing art? It's exciting right? Its like a friend you sometimes get along sometimes you don't. But they are your friend, you don't want them to go away.. Wouldnt you want to draw even if no ones would praise you? isnt that one friend all you need to have..
..so you don't feel alone?
Right. fffffuck AI yes, but for the love of God dont stop! you do it for you! its part of your life. take breaks yes. A friend waits for a friend.
Good got that out of my system. so Yeah I'm SkullKaizer 7th Admiral Of the Armies of Satan.. wait.. thats not the best image for.. Ok we are already here so who cares. Welcome, I'm a Skeleton, talk to me, I like talking. I like to spam. I behave. I'm not a try hard guy, he/him.
So lets see how this goes, thoughts or questions always welcome
