so after some thinking, december came, I'm done with my studies and I can chill and spend much more time doing commissions and requests and stuff
I've passed my university semester, yayyy :D, and I'm free for whatever till march AFAIK, so I should be a LOT more active, I HOPE, there's been a lot of blackouts in my municipality and I'd guess it's just the infrastructure being too old and it's getting some fixing and upgrade, but I can make the counterargument that I'm barely younger than the grid and other zones are not getting this kind of problems as often AND we had frequent blackouts from february to march of this same year, some bad actors is most likely to be the answer
it's weird

anyway, I've started many coding projects and finished none of them, so now it's time to get back on track and do something about them dammit
but maybe I could start a new one because the current ones are just too broken for me to care and spend a week or so fixing bugs instead of doing everything from the ground up with an over all better design, the more I fail the more I learn i guess

now to things that concern the most of you: commissions
they do be going up in price, I said that in my last journal so read up guys
the summary:
for an actual drawing taking my sketch price ($5) as my pivot, then the new prices next year would be:
sketches keep their price
inking+color $13 -> $16
hard shading $17 -> $21
soft shading $20 -> $25
for them backgrounds
abstract ones $5 -> $7
detailed ones $10 -> $13
they'll be effective since the start of the new year, no hurries, except for me cuz I have LOTS of projects I gotta finish first before xmas aaaa D:
because of that it's unlikely I'll be taking commissions or finishing them before new year, however, if I do accept it, I'll be respecting the old price regardless of when I finish it

so with no further ado,
godspeed you
