Comissions are now closed, and those who got a slot has been contacted. There were a lotta folks this time, so about a fifth of them got a slot .u.;
If I feel like it after they're finished, I might ask some if they still want the slot later.


Now for the other topic in this journo; Due to some recent events, I've considered the thought of doing commissions full time.
I never really talk about my daily life online, but I've been struggling with some mental health issues related to an excess of stress and anxiety. And a big part of that's because of my current job as a service welder / steel worker, which I'm feeling isn't really the thing for me anymore. The often lack of information and sudden forced overtime doesn't jive well with my aspergers, and getting a new job as a production welder in these times isn't easy, without moving out of the county, which I don't wanna do.

Which is why I've been considering on capitalizing on my other skill, being art of course. So I did this commission opening as a test to see how many inquiries I'd get. Safe to say, if I did all of them - 44 comms of different qualities - I'd have enough work and pay to last me a month were I to do it full time. Though my biggest worry is having that amount of commissioners each month, or enough asking for huge comms. How many I can do in a month doesn't really matter if I don't get that amount of traffic in the first place.

But I'm still considering the idea as a temporary solution, to get away from this current job and finding a few one that pays better. Just gotta see how the start of this year plays out before making any decisions. Wouldn't be a wise choice if we're getting another 'rona wave lol.


In regards to all this though, I have been considering doing and selling small comics and image packs again, to test those out too. But time will tell in terms of what'll be done I guess.
