COMMISSION STATUS: OPEN
Journal starts HereHoooooh. G'day.
I'm not in the habit of posting journals, especially lengthy or coherent journals. I'm going to try and fill in the gaps where I can starting at last December and up until now.
2019 and December.
Last year was personally rough for me. I changed a lot and not for the better. It took me quite a while to pull myself together, but bad things happen, y'know.
December got off to a terrible start. Went for a bit of a spiral and couldn't grasp what was happening and what I should do. It's personal so I'm not going into detail about the events. I consider myself lucky that it was the holiday period around the corner that I'm here and "okay" now. Plenty of friends, partying, lots of that good shit. Most of December has been a bit of a blurr for me, I just know I'm feelin' alright now. I can't let go of things and tend to have a very long memory for specific events and people so I'll probably still feel like shit about the things that happened for a long time coming in intermittent intervals, but at the core, I'm okay, and I will be okay.
2020 and Moving Forward
Personally.
I'm learning to try and step back before speaking and acting and trying to be more aware of my actions towards others and unlearn some of the bad habits that I've developed. I'm also attempting to practice what I preach more often. I can be better. I can always be better, as can everyone as long as they can acknowledge a flaw and actively try to address it. That's what I'm doing now.
Not much more to be said. I'm just going to try and be a better person to all my friends, peers and fans. I'm also going to try and have a proper sleep and work schedule.
In regards to my artwork and presence on FA and in the fandom.
I want to be more present here and have a more solid schedule. I'm too relaxed and don't compensate by making deadlines for myself, so commissions just slide back. I hate it.
Over the next few weeks I'll be straightening myself out and working on setting up an commission work schedule and a stream Schedule. Currently, I'm looking at a Mon-Fri work schedule and Monday/Friday being the two streaming days.
Though, I am also looking to include more time for personal work, namely 3D modelling and animation. There's still a lot I don't know and a lot that I need to learn. I need time to learn that and I don't feel I can do that with full work days, so that's somethin' to work out later on.
Patreon might be something I'll open up, if not I might open up a tipjar or FA Shinies or something, just as a means for people to show support and interest in what I do. I've wanted to do a Patreon for years now but really, really don't like how quickly it can become overwhelming for me and lacking for supporters. I don't want you, my fans, supporters, friends and peers to put money into something and feel you're not getting something out of it. Even if you were to chip in just to help me along, you deserve seeing what you have given has helped.
I have a clearer view of what I'm after and capable of, now. Once these current commissions are out of the way, I'll be looking into setting myself up for a more feasible and personally comfortable workload that incorporates all of my standard commission options, some new options and the free time to myself to wind down or work on personal things. Consistent commissions, for you all, slots and everything. It'll be healthy for me and help me assess myself for a Patreon page.
In closing.
I'm so tired and hung-over. But I'm feelin' good.
New year. New Me. New Art. New Start. All that stuff.
I hope you've all been well and I hope you all are starting this new year with your best foot forward.
You know where I'm at if you want me.
Cheers
