Hi,

As far as my plan going forward with art, and pursuing our original goal of showing people what it means to be a true Artist, I have decide that it'd be better to not attempt commissions, or start a patreon/donation accepting account. It simply would not be in the spirit of my objectives to seek revenue for art, or stash away artworks behind a paywall, slowly siphoning away previous arts to prop up future cash grabs.

Making money as an artist isn't bad; and i wish everyone the best of luck should they work as a freelance artist; It is merely my decision to exclude myself from those things (as far as art goes.)

While i want to believe i would have the mental capacity, and dedication to complete such things, i also know that putting up a paywall, even if small, would end up inhibiting some from being given the chance to receive an artwork that they would like. I also don't very much care for the financial reward that would come from commissioning artwork; I'd much rather challenge myself, and learn things, and how to do art more effectively, like i use to do.

i would like to start doing something like a monthly raffle, to give different folks a chance to "commission art", but 12 arts a year still feels really low for a good amount of output; So i may just have request open, as a permanent option for people to send their request in if they'd like, and if i'm out of ideas, or just wanna see what's in the pool, visit those request. I don't actually know. For now, the main idea would be the Monthly reaccuring raffle to keep a fresh face showing up in my gallary, rather than the same old, same old characters i like.


if anyone has an suggestions, you are more than welcome to leave a comment. it takes a few days for me to make an artwork, but i do want to try and give back to the community and remind people that kindness is still a part of the community.

I would like to start monthly, or bi monthly raffles though. just gotta figure stuff out.
