[Feb/March Update] Finances, ideas, and more!
7 years ago
Hey there guys!
As always I wanna open up by giving my sincere thanks and gratitude for all of you whom are with me and have been with me over the many years. Between fans and friends, Im still breathing and a big portion is thanks to you guys.
First major thing I wanna post as an update, I moved! Me and the family found an amazing house in a neat little town in Wisconsin (Sorry Vikings fans) and have been settled in for a week or two now. It put a bit of a slowed and stressed pace on me on the weeks leading up and the week or so afterwards but I got through it. Im working hard with out a job, to spend as much time as I can on my artwork and my entertainment skills.
Major thing about that? MORE STREAMS! Between being settled and now having a stable internet (Thank you Spectrum) I can now get back into the field that I feel I really flourished in and that was art streaming. Thanks to Picarto's change in policy a long ways back, I can add gaming to that and there are a hand full of games I plan to play and Rage Quit to. So stay tuned to that.
Second big thing, the ugly F word of finances. My prices will be experiencing a shift and an increase soon, I want this to be a FAIR and UPFRONT notice so no one goes, BY GAWD.
Ive started getting the calls on my bills from debt collectors and that's no ones fault but my own. I dont ask for free money on principle even in hardest times, so that means that even though my prices will go up, my commission slots and quality of work will increase as well. Instead of doing my best to give the best quality I can, Im gonna push above and beyond that. Ive broken my artistic comfort zones before and dammit I intend to do so again!
Another big announcement is that once I can get back on my feet, I have a pet project I will be going into as well called OGPW (Omniversal Grand Prix Wrestling) which will be a comic I plan to make in a format and style i have been privately tinkering with here and there and I think Im ready to start working on a pilot edition.
That being said and what it means for you guys; A. I will be approaching some of you to request permission to enlist your OC in the roster, and B. I will be holding auditions for folks that want to try out for the OGPW League. There will be more information once I get that going and get back on my financial two feet, so stay tuned.
Finally, a bit of comedy. For those of you that have seen me IRL or pics of me IRL, well now pics will make me look like a Hockey Player or Chris Benoit. During the move I was carrying some heavy metal frames for beds and such, and when I went to set them down, I thought "SURELY! This spot on our floor, propped against the wall will be enough to hold them steady!" Boy was I wrong as one of the bed frame sections slid, and the little smooth foot/leg of it used to keep the bed off the floor, swung down and caught me in the mouth lol. While I am 100% fine, A tooth of mine has departed into the great beyond as it was knocked from my face. Didnt hurt, more just shocked me a bit but hey! We roll with the punches.
Thats all for now folks, you all take care.
Things otherwise seem to be on the up-and-up! All the power to you! :D
