Life Update, Events & Birthday Tomorrow..Oy
11 years ago
Been quite a bit o time since I posted a journal. But as I always say, I'm always on FA, just haven't been able to post anything.
Anyway, I've been in talks with a good buddy of mine for a long time now. Trying to get our own place by September, here's hoping. The biggest thing I've got to say is that for the last few months I've been preparing to make a pretty big change income wise. I'm trying to transition into commissions being my MAIN source of income. My buddy's got my back, he knows about the kind of art I do and is constantly on my case to get started on my "Dicktoon" empire. XD
He exaggerates, but it's nice to know I've got support. My family's also aware (some vaguely) of the art I do. Never shown them any of the NSFW stuff, but they're generally cool about it. Before I can get to that point, there's some things I HAVE to take care of, so hopefully I can get back to taking commissions and posting arts very soon!
Don't fret about Evolution Anxiety, there's only a few pages left so It will definitely be finished. I've also been tooling around with story elements for Bonny and friends. More on that at a later time. ;3
*Sigh* Mind as well talk about an elephant in this room...Patreon. It's a nice tool, and a good way to support an artist you like. BUT, in my opinion, A LOT of people are using it wrong. Patreon should be used for extended PROJECTS. A web comic, animation series, music album, or what have you. Not to, no offense, nickel and dime people for stand-alone work pieces. Now I'm only speaking about those who who've used Patreon in this manner because it certainly isn't everyone. And if the supporters themselves are absolutely fine with that set-up, then who am I to say otherwise. :3
Last but not least,..................TOMORROW.....FUCKING 31........Christ....I am fucking old. You twenty somethings and teenies out there, lounging on my lawn? Do me a favor...

HAPPY EXTREMELY EARLY BIRTHDAY, BRO!
What changes are you thinking of for art as your income? Could just go a lot of different ways. Really big increase in price on normal commissions? auctions? pay site? .3.
Though try not to let YCH replace normal commissions, some artists do that and it walls off people who could only afford regular stuff. XD
But besides that.........have a good birthday!!
Happy Birthday, in advance!
And don't worry too much about it, as I'm 31 myself from earlier this year...you're still a few months younger than me, lol. Xb
