A New Chapter...
9 years ago
So I've finally ended my day job with ATG Stores, and I am honestly sad to see such a wonderful and easy job go. It wasn't very fulfilling though, and I honestly could be doing much more and much better now that my college tuition is gone and I now have a bit of a buffer saved up... so it's time. It's finally time to make the leap from amateur to professional, and I will be officially opening up for business as an artist for commissions and projects!
Now, I've already taken a heap of homework from Anthrocon. I was absolutely amazed that people were willing to throw $500 my way to get in line for commission work, and I've already had at least one person put down $200 towards a project to help me learn Unity and create some interactive walky/smashy games, so I'm really excited to be Opening my shop as it were and beginning to build up a portfolio towards an animating career.
I'll be posting my current queue tomorrow once I've slept off the delightful buzz this bottle of Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey has given me tonight, and I'll write down all my detailed plans for my own benefit and for you all as well. Stay tuned!

Good luck Tyrnn!
But yeah nice too see that your takeing up commissions one day .
Maybe i can get one one day , and hopefully i don´t have to poke you on twitter for it then , hasn´t really worked out in any way has it .
I'll be curious what you set up your self for the licensing in the state for business registration and such. There are some really good tax benefits involved if you go the full route and I would like to see what you end up with.
Good luck! You have a big challenge and the courage to take it on. Go for it.
