random update / semi-hiatus
9 years ago
You may have noticed it, but I'm currently not updating my gallery with newly completed images. I have a few completed already waiting to be uploaded. Some of them are on my Patreon already (which is not to be taken that they are Patreon exclusive; they will be uploaded here, and when I'm back on track my paintings will be once again uploaded simultaneously)
this does not mean I'm not on FA or that I won't respond to notes, and it's temporarily only.
there are a few reasons for that
most of all, i don't have time or energy to respond to feedbacks; that is exactly because every time i can't do that I feel super bad; I really think people who comment deserve to have a response, and this time I just know I couldn't get myself to it.
I know I don't get an avalanche of comments and watches, but being the introvert I am... well... and don't get me wrong, i love feedback, i truly do, but it's still exhausting to go through.
Another is my annual start of summer-migraine; which makes me quite irritable, and causes me extreme headaches; the amount of painkillers alone make me doze off. It should normalize in a few weeks and be reduced to "acceptable headache" but until then I'm not going to be in a very social mood, apologies for that.
I will be uploading my paintings when I can take a breath from my backlog.
Another thing I would like to update is my routine/schedule
I tried to marathon 16 hours a day, but neither my body or psyché was able to handle it like it was 5 years ago. I got old T.T
I decided to go with a milder plan, that goes:
Monday-Thursday: 14 hour of backlog work
Friday: commission day. on fridays I will take on as much as I think I can definitely complete on that day. this way I won't run out of funds to live and I won't get stuck on new works either.
Saturday: 10 more hours of backlog work.
Sunday: rest.
that gives me 66 hours a week still, which isn't that bad, considering my backlog is under 500 now.
I didn't want to take on new commissions, I still don't want to, but obviously we can't live off on air alone. I know it can be frustrating to see someone take on new commissions while you are on the waiting list, but I hope you can forgive a 1:7 ratio of new vs. old work.
that's all folks ~

its nice to hear from people
but its just as well not to
when doing so might disrupt or distract from their creative work.
really doing the creative thing, making the art,
i think that's much more important to me,
for people to be able to do that.
and also to take whatever break from that
as might keep the mind openly imaginative
and creatively agile.
