Commissions, Art, and General Life Update
5 years ago
General
I haven't given an update in a long time, so why not do it during a pandemic, I figure.
If I haven't accepted a commission from you, I'm afraid I'm going to close down commissions for a bit. Would like to open them sometime mid-April, but because of this pandemic, working retail is taking a much harsher toll on my mental well-being than usual.
If I have already accepted a commission from you, I plan to continue working on it. Would love to get them all done at or before mid-April, but I have no idea what's going to happen within the next month in regards to health or other factors.
In other news, I'm hoping everyone is staying safe and healthy. I'm sure you've seen the announcements and been drowned in info, but again, I'd just like to reiterate to maintain safe distance and to wash your hands.
As for art in the title, I guess I set myself up for that. I wasn't actually planning to talk about that, but I may as well.
I've been getting pretty burnt out. I don't feel like I've got a strong portfolio, and for all the areas I'm able to do, some of them have lacking portfolios or none whatsoever (comics, storyboarding, 3d). Also just generally been feeling dejected as I can't seem to get any of my own projects off the ground. In addition to my sharp decline in speed in regards to commissions, I'm just feeling very incapable.
When I open back up commissions, I've been considering making them focus on a very particular type (mostly actual animal character designs, maybe kaiju and monsters) but I've been having to deal with that, well, not many people would want that. Despite how much I've really been wanting those.
Anyway, commissions are closed for the time being. Stay healthy, stay safe.
