I keep visiting random artists' pages and trying to watch them, only to find out that I already did. XD It only shows how long it's been since I really used this site. Gomen for the lack of art (especially to mine clients). ;_;
Since I was last active here I gained my first full-time job as a web developer for a small marketing/PR firm, which after 15 months I was laid off from due to lack of funds (poor business choices, IMO). While employed I fell out of drawing regularly due to lack of time. After they dumped me I sought for work and temporary income sources that wasn't drawing (as I still had pending commissions), which led me to opening up an Etsy store that's actually become pretty successful, even to this day. I also worked at Office Depot for a very brief month, as during my unemployment my former employer enlisted me for freelance work, eventually kidnapping me from my cashier job at OD for "full-time" freelance (which they still haven't paid me for). This "full-time" freelance got me my original job back after 5 months of struggling to get by without any real income. Possibly a foolish decision, but I am currently at 18 months with them and they continue to add new staff members, so the company's probably doing a lot better than last time.
I am still devoting most of my conscious hours to my day job, which often eats away at my evening and weekend free time because wow web dev clients are rude ass motherfuckers who can't be punctual when it comes to deadlines. I also make enough sales from my Etsy store to pay some monthly bills with profit alone, so I've been a pretty busy Neek. I really miss drawing, though, and I feel bad that some paying customers are still waiting for delivery. I also feel bad about me personally, as I've neglected to draw for myself for a very long time and I really want to do something significant like a comic one day. As you can see from my recent burst in activity, I am trying to get back into drawing and I will do my best to make everyone and myself happy in the oncoming months!
Anyway, that's what's been happening with me for the past couple of years. I hope you're doing well, too!
