Commissions, Patreon and other things
8 years ago
Well I have an issue of how to keep track of commissions, not just through notes or emails, but in general, I can't remember whom wanted what of the time and at times when I try to put them down in notes, text or such, I lose them too, so anyone have advice, suggestion or otherwise know what can help?
I have to find some tax number to activate my patreon account, but does anyone know how to make multi, since might be still trying to make one with another artist, as weird as it may sound.
My mood has been in the dumps lately, almost seems to get worse over time and might be effecting my view on my art, I would liked a bigger tablet to draw on, but I think my current one is fine, even if I feel it slightly twitching while drawing if not fast enough. Been suggested to reinstall Clip Studio, but have a lot of custom brushes I did, not sure how to save them all or just pick the ones that work best.
Still on the project to determine if I should get early retirement or if I can do work, just in certain amount.
Been thinking of how to do things better, drawing and such. Comics, webcomic and animations too, but might be too big for me, since I can't decide or think it's good enough to finish. Been thinking of writers or managers/co-creators, but get the feeling I'm not doing the ideas I have in mind if I share them, so tend to close of, which is a sucky mindset, and it is one I sadly struggling with, since I'm not doing them alone any way.
All in all, I'm not doing bad as such, I'm just causing problems for myself really.

Some artists seem to do well doing such things, don't see why it wouldn't be good enough. Yea, not everyone does it like that, but you're not less for not doing like some.
For the Patreon thing, I'm not super hot on the multi patreon, hard enough taking care well of one already, much more taking on a new one on top for two people.
Wouldn't recommend to anyone, and feel you're already trying to make yours hard enough.
Wish you good luck in your endeavors and hope perhaps you can find the will to see a therapist to talk about your worries and mood. It doesn't make perfect, but it helps go in the right direction, if slower than we'd like.
I know you hear this a lot, but if you want to also talk, or just get to know one another (ie, outside furryness), I've found that helps. So, I AM available. I prefer making some meaningful friendships over cheetahdragon art (much as I love your rendition of Xili ^^)
Tax #: One tax number only. If you want to have a joint Patreon, one person handles all the funds.
Your mood: Find some books on depression/anxiety or low self-esteem if that is indeed what you have.
Getting better: Find some figure drawing books, learn more about color and design, learn some writing so you can at least make the big picture for comics or animations for your characters.
:D
