Hey everyone, happy May
Unfortunately April was a bit of a rough month for me. Sometimes when I'm having some difficulty on a piece or just not feeling good emotionally I just lose all confidence in myself and my work. I just want to make it clear that I would've given up on this long ago if it wasn't for you guys. I wanna thank all the people in my discord server, that comment on my art, or even just fav or share my pics or whatever. I really appreciate the support.
With those emotions out of the way, I just want to give a brief update on what I'm working on. Last time I queued up way more commissions than I really should have, so I'm finally just about done with those. I feel a bit bad about making people wait so long but at least I don't take payment up front. I'm definitely going to be doing smaller commission queues in the future though. I'm also going to experiment with different methods of taking commission, namely 'artist's choice'. Basically I'll have people submit their proposals over a couple days and pick the ones I most want to do. I'm not exactly making a huge amount per-hour on these so I'd like to at least get some enjoyment out of it too.
I definitely want to play around more with different art processes too. I've gotten comfortable with the 4 color sketch style and I'm in the process of polishing my fully rendered style, so I'd like to try and find something in the middle. Maybe some multi-tone cel-shading or something. If you know of any artists that you think do a simplistic rendering style well I'd love to get some more inspiration. I'm gonna be doing a few personal pieces trying to figure out something, while also clearing out my "things to draw" list just a bit. If you want to have some input on what I draw I'm starting to do polls on my discord server, so feel free to join if you wanna vote on those.
I think I'll end this here. As always, have a good month!
