just a small heads-up
6 years ago
Hey folks!
Some time ago I said I probably wouldn't create patreon, but for pretty long time I feel quite a bit overwhelmed with commission work. I am type of person who can't, just can't do personal art when there are work to do, because if I do, I feel horribly guilty, and I'm procrastinating a lot because I'm not able to work. I once mentioned it - it looks like horrible circle of "have commissions to finish -> feel guilty when trying to do something personal, even really small stuff -> not doing anything personal because of that feeling -> feeling blocked but trying to work -> frustration grows -> procrastinate more and more -> feel even more quilty -> don't even trying to draw personal stuff because it would be horrible to do something for myself when people are waiting -> still have commissions to do because I'm not able to work when I feel so frustrated".
It's the reason I decided to create Patreon and just give it a try. Maybe some of you would like to get a tier, who knows? We'll see!

Do the work you want to do, make the teirs pay out with whatever can be made from the work you are producing for yourself.
If you WANT to take on a commission spot, maybe offer it outside of the Patreon, or as an added bonus to Patreon members, give them a 24 hour spot to sign up for a commission prior to general public. That way it remains strictly on a "as I want to," basis.
1: thank you!
3.50: I made an arts! Be on the first to see mailing list!
5.00: first to see and layers, and other doodles
Or something?
I will say; you are the most important person in your world. Take care of yourself first, and everything else will fall in to place.
I know that feeling of "ugh I can't draw personal work, I have comms to do!", took YEARS to break it. I hope that cycle stops for you eventually, I find easing off of comms to doodle a few things to be a massive stress relief.
All I know is i'd love to see more sketchbook stuff from you!! Of course.. I'll eventually snag another scene commission from you, this time with kaernk and his wife!! ovo
ALSO HI LONG TIME NO TALK!!
You're always so supporting and I'm appreciate it so much, thank you <3 I hope too it will stops, however I tried over and over again and it's always back and I'm a bit tired of it. Anyway, I want to make a tier with weekly sketchbook compilation, so there will be more sketches definitely! Also, I would love to do another commission for you! For a quite long time I'm planning to make scene commissions available only through auctions, but here's always a place to do a small exception for you :D
AWHHH you’re so sweet!! I’ve adore working with you again, you especially do Kaernk so well <3 I’d love to see him in your style once more.
