WHAT IS TIME!? I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MANAGE IT!!
10 years ago
Like, seriously..
So, let's be honest. The job I'm now working is more physical than any job I've had in my entire career and while I'm impressed with the effects it's having on my body, the time I have to get commissions done is getting shorter and shorter. Out of the 5 commissions I have to do, 2 are only sketched. Between work, socializing, sleeping, and general care of my well being it's getting to be a bit too much.
After I finish these commissions I will be closing my doors for a while. Don't freak out I will be doing art later in due time but right now it's not my priority nor my main money maker. I don't have enough clients and I'm not confident enough to start a Patron like everyone else seems to be doing these days.
I've had several people say that I'm just not dedicated enough or that I just don't want to do it for a job.
Thing is, I do, so bad it hurts.
Here's the reality of it all. Me and my boyfriend have been with his mom for a year. We need to get out. In 6 months time we will be ready to move out. But in that time I need to earn at least 1200$ in savings plus 700$ for bills. And guess what? Art will not cover any of that. Plain and simple. So no, I'm not a weaker artist for realizing that I need to start living my life and that I can't find myself in a job from home that pays the bills.
So, Commission update. I'm going to try and get sketches down for the remaining commissions I have. This weekend is spoken for as it's my dad's birthday. Next weekend I will be streaming starting Friday night to bust out the rest of those stylized commissions, I've been trying to wait for commissioners to be available but they are pretty in active on here and I can't get a hold of them so I'm just going to bust them out, sorry.
Thanks guys always for your continued support. <3

I'm certainly terrible for availability. Bust away!

Honestly I'm flat out too, just go for it if I'm not around for the stream.
