End of the Year - Post-Mortem
7 years ago
General
As the end of another year approaches, I have to stop myself and look back on everything that was achieved this year!
Since the beginning of 2018, things have been pretty hectic for me! Many job changes for my partner and I and many uncertainties. I was still recovering from a burn out last time this year and although I feel a lot better, I wouldn't say I'm back to 100%. I've learned a lot about managing myself and my anxiety. I've learned to listen to myself more. Even thought I still struggle, I've learned to say 'no' more often so I can say 'yes' to other things.
I'm still figuring out the best way to do everything I want to do and I can't just take on more. I'll be making removing the comic page commissions from my price list but I'll be keeping the sequences. Comic pages always bring me a lot of stress because they require more back and forth with clients and more planning on my end. They are also, just generally, a bigger project (hence the price). I've seen other artist do much better comic for cheaper... so for now, I'm retiring the comic pages!
That's me saying 'no' :P
and so I can say yes to....
Animations. At the core, I love animating. I really wanted to push more and more towards that but animating can be time consuming! That's why comic and animations don't mix very well. Well maybe they would if I was drawing full time but I am adapting to my situation! So I want to start bringing YCH animations. Maybe starting with a couple of sketchy ones, maybe melding it to my patreon.
Patreon is part of my projects and resolution for 2019. I want to bring more content to my patrons. Maybe I won't be able before Furnal Equinox in March since I have convention prep to do but this year, I'm going to bring something new to patreon ^^
BTW Patreon sketches coming tonight and tomorrow night!
I also got married in 2018 and we started looking at buying a house! I got myself a part-time job in the best office in the world as a designer. I'm not much of a designer but I have learned so much with them :) and every client and project brings its own challenges! 3 days a week is enough though.
I've got another job lined up for 2019, it will be contract based game art. I've not had much luck with these in the past so maybe this time will be the right one xD If any games I work on ever comes out, I'll let you guys know :P
There are still uncertainties, life can't be all well and swell. My husband still doesn't have work even thought he is very qualified. He has interviews and phone calls but no work as of yet. I'm used to being the bread winner but I prefer not being the sole earner. This adds pressure. This puts me in the mind set of: what other job can I find to make more money? and I hate that!
So anyway, I'm looking forward to see what 2019 has for me! I'm ready to tackle it for sure :)

There's no saying that comic pages won't make a return at a later date but for now, sequences are still there!
