Oof! January stretched on forever and February flew like a bird! I'm nearly the half-way point of teaching this semester and I've definitely not been able to draw nearly as much as I would like. What I -have- been able to do is research a lot of material for class and I feel like I'm finally understanding lighting a lot better than I used to! Hopefully that shows in the commission work I put out.
I do enjoy working on commissions, giving other people content that they love and enjoy, but I wish I were a little more free with my time. The comic content I've been putting out is goofy and funny because that's honestly what I need lately. I'd love to work on some of the other projects I have lined up, but alas... time and stress are always a factor.
I did some trial changes to my patreon but they never quite paid off. I'll be making some more edits and changes to hopefully land on a combination of being able to afford to produce more unique content while also sticking to my values and giving y'all something special and enjoyable. Right now I just feel like I haven't hit on the winning combination of commission work, self work and my real life work (which doesn't pay nearly enough). I love teaching, but god, the pay is just not enough to live on.

I'll be opening up for more work this week, so please keep an eye out for that! I'll likely be doing some work that's a little simpler/easier for me to find time for, so colored sketches or the like. These big pieces I'm doing are enjoyable but take a lot of time.

Over and out!
