So I said to my pencil the other day
Well, I really have to hand it to three things, private insurance, medical documentation, and being complacent.
For those of you not in the loop, this is in regards to the last journal I posted and the synthetic skin graft I got this most recent Thursday. The story short is, there was a high likelyhood that if scar tissue had settled in, my right arm would have been buggered, taking my current drawing capacity with it. Being medically documented as right handed, a catastrophic injury like that, would have resulted in a huge compensation. So here I am, not even a week later, and I owe thanks to my current employer's private insurance.
Feels weird, looks weird, but they got shit sorted fast and the doctors are saying that the graft should take and I really shouldn't see any complications since the scar tissue was mostly prevented and a successful graft was completed within a week.
That's not really what this journal is about.
I'm cleaning house, when it comes to art. I'm setting aside a lot of art projects that I just can't get the muster up to work on. The last two commissions I had in my list, I have also cleared as it's gone on six months, mostly due to my own fault. There were some communication issues, no money has changed hands (reviewed my paypal logs before I made this decision).
I'd like to say it's good news all around. Yes, two potential and cheap commissions are not being completed. In all reality, I'm a very selfish self centered fuckwad, part of me says I should feel bad. I'm honestly not going to though, they were taking me upwards of five and six hours to complete to a 'polish' that was simply 'acceptable' not what I wanted to achieve.
Someday maybe I'll be that rich or have enough passive income that I can sit down and draw requests for free. But at this point in my life, I'm using my time, for my own betterment. I really need to start steering away from this public whore I started turning myself into.
No guarantees when commissions will be open, if ever again. Taking money for art ruined it in a lot of ways for me.

The way you went about that, you haven't done anything I'd call wrong.
Health is more important than furries wanting their smut fix, to be honest.
