I'm seriously considering quitting my job to stream full time. Being stuck home without a car has given me time to bang out a lot of commussions, and it's helped drive home the fact that I can do $100+ worth of art in a day (more than I make at my job by far) and have been getting enough donations to justify gaming streams as well (I have 5!! more Pokémon Platinum streams funded already).

The only thing that gives me any pause at this point is the fear the I'll end up drawing faster than new commissions come in. It was no trouble finding people who'd been waiting months for a slot this last time I opened, and I already know I have a few people waiting for me to open again and/or their next paycheck, but I worry about after that round. I do have some hope that streaming and uploading more consistently would help me grow, it's just scary to dive in without a solid "yes" on that front.

I'm excited and nervous. I love drawing and streaming. I streamed 12 hours each of the last two days and only stopped because it was bed time. This is my dream job, and it feels like it's actually feasible now. I just need a little more confidence that it's sustainable. I make about $600 a month at my "real job", with a schedule that leaves my wife and son stuck at home and me without enough time to really do much living before and after my shift, but I can make that much in a *week* on art commissions at home if I just have the time to do it. I have a handful of regular clients, but I can't just bleed those few people dry lol. If you've ever wanted to commission me, or think you might some day -- I do illustrations, emotes, NSFW, and VTuber rigs -- please speak up so I can have a little more confidence before I jump.

Love you all~💜
