WHOA! THIS IS SOME SERIOUS SHIT!

Right.
I'll just pour my heart here aswell, since I know myself and that I rarely read people's journals.
Thing is - I have like quazillion commissions laying here, on my table. Truth to be told, at least two are from before the EF. After the EF, people went crazy and I LOVE that. So many people that praise me with attention and want a picture from me.
So, why the heck did I not started on it yet? Why is it laying here, in the files, all around, unfinished, leaving the people sad and upset?
My regular job is responsible for that. Of course, along with my laziness I guess. But I work like a horse and the outcome of it isn't as ...fruitful as I'd expect it to be, when it's taking 85% of my attention and focus. Of course, I spend the 15% for just staring into wow, or rather, staring at my horse partner and I prefer spending the time i have rest for her. Sometimes, I doodle at car, but that's hardly a place for properly working on a commission.
So yeah. I am about to take this leap of faith. I'm just quitting the regular job and steady income, for much more unsure possibility of artstry freelancing again.
I DO WANT to give you your pictures. There's nothing more I'd like to do at the moment, but to sit down and work on your pictures. I know it'll be rough, I've been there before. But honestly, I tend to advice people with this "just do it" and "ain't gonna be a slave to your own fears". Blah blah. It's time I live up to what I say.
In a nutshell - please, PLEASE, bear with me. When this month is over, so will be I with the job and then I will move on to the pictures, full time.
♥ It is your attention and support that makes me believe that I am doing the right thing. ♥
So yeah, rant is over, thanks for listening!
Peace and love!

Some of the people I've asked for the opinion told me that any hobo can drive a car, but not any hobo can draw, that helped me a lot with the decision too.
It was my original plan, to have a cozy, steady income, and help myself out with doing another thing (drawing). But as much as I like to say that "waiting for the muse's kiss is for amateurs", aka a pro must be ready to draw anytime - i steel need some mental preparation to draw nice stuff. I can't focus on drawing when i know i have three hours to do a picture, even if i know it'll take only one hour.
such attitud
much appreciate
wow
thanks!

Good luck, dragoness <3
Also, I see where your problem might lie: you work LIKE a horse while you should be working WITH the horse (hope that helps)
good luck!!!
