Honesty Time! Just a little share
6 months ago
Art honesty moment:
So I am SUPER thankful for all commissions I've gotten/been getting from everyone. I also super love all the new people commissioning me as well!
I've taken strides to do better with my waitlist, my little website page, and keeping my stuff updated as much as possible!
But I will admit, deep down I still have that anxiety. That my art might not be good enough, that I'm not improving as much as I'd like, that I'm making people wait too long, or that I don't update as much as I should.
Most of this comes from horror stories about other artists that scam/have insanely long turn around times/etc. Because I don't understand how people can take others funds, but not do what they've been paid to do lol.
I still feel internal panic if I make people wait on me, and by wait I mean not even maxing out two weeks of wait time. I recently had to limit myself to one completed paid art a day, so I can still work on things for me or have some down time so I don't push myself so much.
Even that makes me feel...awkward.
Most all these feelings are internalized, and all my commissioners are super understanding and appreciative of the updates I frequently give. I'm working through those anxieties every day!
It really is about evolving every day, being proud of myself, and appreciating everyone who has/continues to support me every day!
I just wanted to make this post to have some clarity for myself and everyone else! I am doing my best to keep my mental health up and the bad vibes down! 🩷

I absolutely love your art, and have never had any issues with your wait times. You're incredibly quick.
