Update and commission news
5 years ago
Hey ya'll! I hope everyone's well and surviving despite the world's seemingly endless attempts to doom us all.
It sure has been a while since I've made a journal huh? Apologies for being a bit inactive on here and other sites- I've been terribly wrapped up in a mix of schoolwork and losing my life to video games, so art sort of has taken a back seat. That being said, I'm thinking I'm back in action now if my most recent posts are anything to go off of, and with those, I've discovered a new latex shining and shading method (mostly coming from studying the work of Rindeadsong ) that I'm positively in LOVE with and has made me enjoy working with latex in pieces soooo much more.
With a rekindled art drive, the question of comms comes into play. I know quite a few of ya'll are curious about commissions, and I'm just gonna say outright: commissions drain me. If this past little set of comms is anything to go off of, I've come to the conclusion that the stress of feeling like I NEED to be working on art because someone paid me just does more harm for my art drive then it does good, so I'm making the decision as of now to not do traditional comm slots for the foreseeable future, save for the odd one here and there for friends, and instead just focus on making the art I want to see.
Now don't fret, for I have a separate idea that I think could satisfy those of ya'll who wanna comm me: I'm planning on opening little "Idea Pit" journals where ya'll lovely folks toss me your comms ideas or just ideas in general ya got rattling about your heads with your characters, my characters, or anything in between and if I like your idea and want to draw it, I'll get in touch with you privately and we can discuss things further and whether I actually even want to charge you, or if the idea just appeals to me enough that I'll do it for free!
Might this be a little unfair as I'll only pick the ideas I really like? Perhaps, but I think it'll be the best way to keep me motivated and keep my art drive rolling. That, and I'll be swapping to a "half up front, half when finished" payment method or a "all when finished" method rather then an "all up front" method. Please do lemme know whatcha think!

Isn't that different from having a blacklist of fetishes you wouldn't draw, which most artists use.
But also I like the ideas you've got so far, do your good shit <3 it'll be good.
