NOT open for commissions (and why)
a week ago
The 2-page comic was supposed to make at most 8 days to draw. Instead, it took 16.
I've been running slowly on all my projects recently. The Stoaty Pepper picture took two days when it should have taken one (compared to the time I drew this in 1 day). The only project that didn't take too long (at least compared to the time I devoted to it) was the Nick and Bill story I also wrote.
Besides that, I've rather been stressed as of late. The job interview I had last week didn't pan out. I've been joining a few new meetups recently so I can socialize and network more. I've been ramping up my studying for another certification in a few weeks. I've been dealing with a couple of scam calls and some unemployment assistance -- on top of whatever else is going on in the world. Finances aren't great, but I have some support so that I don't need to start taking commissions. But what I need most of all is regular sleep and a consistent work schedule every day.
I'm going to continue drawing and producing art. But I'm going to do so for myself, and not for anyone else, until I can bring some calm progress back to my life. (And despite the numerous TF ideas I have, probably won't enter the TF Game Jam either, until I can get my non-TF games working, so that I can better estimate my productivity speed.)
I'm not comparing myself to other artists here. Just to myself.
