Will Be Reopening Commissions TOMORROW
7 years ago
Hey ya'll. So... I had that long winded journal about how I wasn't gonna take more work until I clear my backlog, switching to being an uber delivery driver to be my main source of income. After testing that out over the last week I've come to realize I bit off waaaay more than I can chew with that. It's been an absolutely miserable week, stress, anxiety, panic attacks and depression have been worse than I've ever had, and my art production dropped off significantly.
Issues being I was left with only 2 1/2 hours to draw each day, and in order to make enough off the unreliable income that Uber delivery is, I'd have to work 8+ hours almost 7 days a week. As a result, I've hardly had time to draw at all this week, and I feel horrible for that, I was thinking my time would be more evenly split. Despite the stress I'm under for art, I love drawing, and would rather spending the majority of my time doing that.
So I'm deciding to go back on my previous statement. I'll be opening for discounted commissions under the provision that it may be up to a 3-4 month wait (prices will return to normal once I'm caught up). I'll still be delivering for uber, but only 2-3 nights a week. This should give me enough to cut back on a good amount of work I need to take to cover my monthly bills,
I'm sorry if this pisses anyone off, but I need to do what's best for my own sanity and mental health, and since I'm having no luck with the applications for regular jobs that I've put out, my only option is to open for more work until I have to actually catch up on art or find a job that pays well enough for me to split my time better.

At this point though I don't care any more. I cant keep feeling guilty because I have a few impatient customers who dont understand how much work goes into the art I make.
Thank you for being awesome man! :D
But yeah, I've never had a reason to not trust you.
