In case you were wondering
6 years ago
why it seems like I am uploading a lot of images specifically for one customer.
I very, very rarely get a chance to draw art anymore, as I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to change jobs into software over the last three years, to leave my mundane, unwanted job that I have been doing for the last 13 years.
However, I do have a lot of Anthrocon art in the backlog I will eventually post (though the images I have from the Con itself are cell photos of the art I made).
Not being able to do art has been very frustrating, especially because it is not profitable to be my only job, unfortunately. However, I never wanted to drive for a living (my 13 year, "temporary" job that was supposed to get me back into college HA!), flip burgers or run retail, and those are my only options. I tried software because it is something I can teach myself, after a robotics engineer (what I always wanted to be) suggested it. But it has been a long, long, 7 year journey, to get people to notice me enough to hire me.
I really do miss doing art on a regular basis, especially the kinkier stuff I regularly produced in my early 20's. A lot of it I wish I could redo with the skills I have.
Anyway, figured some of you would like to know.
If I figure out a way to make art profitable enough, I will. Would love to be a full time artist.
Signing off before this becomes a block of mindless rambling.

You and I are in the same boat. But I supppse I've succumbed to the realization that I'll be driving forever, haha!

OP
I'm still trying. I am either too stupid or too stubborn to give up. The job was supposed to be temporary, it is going to be temporary, till I get the job I want.
