Signed up for a course
6 years ago
Since commissions are nice to raise some money, I had to realize it's not a steady income, and having to rely on them might kill the joy for my hobby, perhaps not permanently. The point is that i had to make my mind up, and look for courses to increase my knowledge, therefore I'm planning to get a certificate with up-to-date knowledge, and relevant experiences for future IT jobs.
Initially i just sent a sign-up form filled in to a course-centre for their Sysadmin course they plan to start, and I'm looking to hear back from them.
The course will however overlap my schedule while I'm going to be attending Eurofurence, but i believe it will be manageable.
The education itself is going to take 3 semesters, and i hope they intend to hold some breaks. Saturdays seem a good option, so that's a good point.
Down side is: It will cost me a lot, but for this money I'll try to make it worth it, because it would be sad to see that amount be going in vain. That amount is sponsored by everyone who commissioned me so far. I owe you all a thank you for that!

Many become reliant for commissions as work and end up just turning into a grind for them. The fun is sucked out, the drive to go a little extra mile on an image, get an expression just right. Get a shade, a fluid or texture just right and they end up just growing sick of art. Some even going as far as quitting it which is sad to see.
Glad you're taking precautions with that though, and I hope all works out!
Sounds like a good idea espacially when you might noticed to could get burned out by doing only commissions.
