Pausing commissions
7 months ago
General
Thank you everyone who's been supporting my commissions recently, I really appreciate it so much. However, I feel like I'm going to have to pause them for a bit after the one I'm finishing up now, due to a lot of life and mh issues combined with studying my masters.
The gist of it is that I've not been feeling very confident in myself and my art, constantly being a perfectionist and comparing my quality and time spent on pieces compared to other more established artists in the UK furry scene. I hate feeling this way since y'all are my friends, but brain be like that sometimes. I also feel bad taking on another work load on top of masters work, volunteering at CFz, etc. The only way I could feasibly open commissions is if I completely give up weekends and hobbies, and don't give myself any time to breathe.
I would also like to spend more time improving 2D art skills. I genuinely have no fucking idea what I'm doing most of the time truth be told, and my "good" art is just happy little accidents or me trying desperately to replicate someone else's style. I barely improved in the last 8 years, and this needs to change.
So yeah TL:DR, I have bad time management and my 2D art is lazy, my peers are better than me, that's why I'm temporarily closing commissions for now.
