About Commissions and Live
12 years ago
Edit: I created a new tumblr account especially for art: http://artbynelena.tumblr.com
So, it's been a while since I posted anything on here. I am really sorry for being so silent.
Right now I am working on a very huge commission which will still take a while. But I want to use this opportunity to talk about commissions in general.
Even though I really love doing them and I enjoy working with most of my customers, I realized that I rely to much on the money I make with art. My normal income is enough to live for me but I never really noticed because I always had at least a littl commission money to work with. But then this flow stopped, because of art block and other reasons, and even though it was only for a little time I started to panic and stress myself, which led to even more art block-stuff.
So I tried to find a way out and I realized, the first step for me is to learn live with my normal income and abstain from buying stuff I probably don't even need. So I will slow down even more on commissions and only take one from time to time. I also plan on doing more art for myself without feeling bad for it.
I will keep doing commissions, especially for commissioners who buy my art since a long time now and support me that way, but it will be less then during the last years :)
I hope you all understand and keep supporting me with your awesome comments and lovely notes :D I really appreciate every single one of them even though I sometimes don't manage to reply v.v
