I made a decision to close my commissions and stop doing YCH and similar things... The only thing that I might still do as commissions will be sketches (colored or not) - but that'll also wait for now...

I am wrapping up my last remaining commission/YCH, which only needs some more final touches, and after that I'll only be making art for myself - lots and lots of practices, trying to find my own style, maybe some gift art etc.

The main reason for this is my job. Paired with chores it takes away almost all of my time and energy and I hate that commissioners are waiting so long for owed art. Also, I get a good amount of money from my job and commissions add a really small amount to that, so it became somewhat pointless to stress over commissions, while I don't get so much out of them in comparison to my job.
Also, I started doing commissions as soon as buyers were willing to throw some money my way and when doing commissions, I can't really improve a lot. I did improve doing them, but I can't experiment as much as I could since commissioners pay me to make something similar to my other works, not for something completely different. I have to put more time into practicing, developing my own style and just simply experimenting with everything. I want to some day be a full-time artist, but I have an extremely long way ahead of me if I want to achieve that. Setting commissions aside and working on my skills is best way trying to achieve that.

So now, I'll continue to put all of my drawing time into my last commission until I finish it. Then, expect lots of experiments and practices from me - hopefully I can make my gallery a bit fuller :3

Thank you all <3
