first day of 2019! i hope everyone is having a happy new year!
a lot had changed for me recently so i just wanted to give you guys an update as to how this pertains to me and my art.

so the first thing that happened, which is relatively huge, is that i came out to my parents!
if anyone has seen my profile lately they may have noticed i've been trying out new pronouns and names especially. i've known this for a while, but now that my parents know i don't feel i have to be keeping this big secret!
so hi, my name is wesley and i am a trans man! please use he/him pronouns when referring to me from now on!
just because my parents know doesn't mean they took it well, and i don't know if i'll ever be wesley to them, but i am going to be taking more steps to live comfortable as a guy from now on.

which brings me into my commissions, specifically my commission prices.
you may have noticed the past few months i was rarely drawing. to be honest, i had a really hard school semester and even failed a class, which was really hard for me to deal with considering i walked away from my previous semester with a 4.0 gpa.
i'm hoping my course load will be much kinder to me next semester, so i hope to be able to draw more for you guys!
one thing i have been feeling recently is that my commission prices are too low for the amount of time my art takes me and the level of professionalism i try to put into this. some time soon, i will be changing my prices to reflect this. most prices won't increase by much, but expect to see the highest increase with badges and reference sheets. however, i hope to also provide more commission types! keep an eye out for a new post regarding my new prices and options, but until then commissions will be open with the same prices and options as they are currently.

finally, since art is currently my only source of income, i just wanted to plug my open adopts and link you to my commission website. currently i'm raising money for next semester's books, but i would also like to be able to buy trans supplies (namely binders) as well.
