Happy Valentine's Day! + commission/life updates (new tier!)
7 years ago
Hey everyone! This journal is a bit long, it just ended up having a lot of little things I wanted to discuss lol, broke them up to be more readable. Thanks for taking the time to read if you do! Nothing really bad in here, just an overview of stuff and some potential new ideas~
Happy v-day if you celebrate it, and if not (like me), have a good day otherwise! Looking forward to tomorrow, when all the chocolate and candy goes on sale ;D
Before getting into the not as fun stuff, something that came up and was suggested by
carrot, was a possible rebranding of my account before I build up too much momentum, by having an official better name than the current name that's just a string of numbers lol, for something more interesting to use. Just a possible idea that I'm growing to like, more information will be out on my decision and I will make sure everyone is in the loop when/if this would be occurring!
As for an update on current commissions and trades in the queue, I've been back and forth with trying to knock them out while also getting practice on the tablet, some stuff is taking some time to get a handle on so I can't thank everyone enough for their patience! I haven't forgotten about anyone, don't worry <3
In the effort of pulling in some more money, since I am currently struggling with pulling off lined commissions on the tablet (smooth lining is tough to get down D:), I have added a new sketch tier for $5! Since sketching is much easier to do and I can get something pretty decent done with it, I added it as an alternative to the fully lined commissions. Information can be found in the commission info tab as always! Can include colors and a background for a small fee on top of the base :D

And for a general life update that inspired the new tier, February has been a pretty big month in spending money on college finances, while I'm not exactly in a bad position I'm far from somewhere good. I have 3 flexible-hour jobs that I work between my already intensive college schedule, and I have not been able to secure a stable job for those reasons to have a good income, right now it's about ~$100 every two weeks, which doesn't add up to much when I've got basic expenses like a big housing deposit, food, supplies, etc to cover. So I'm hoping the sketches can just help offset some of this, I hate borrowing money from friends or family just to go here because I can't pull in enough myself </3
This also means the number of commissions I can get definitely will be slowing down, I love supporting my fellow artists and friends especially when they're in a similar financial boat as me, but being in that boat means I can't give as much as I'd like. Getting art from comms is great and all, but helping out the artist is a big reason I enjoy commissioning as well!
Maybe I'll open a donation thing if anyone wants to pitch in? But I'd want to do or draw something in return for that, so I feel like the sketch comms would just be the same thing as donating, tossing around a lot of ideas in my head. We'll get something figured out :D
