Problems With Doing Commissions
4 years ago
As nice as the idea of making money by making pictures for people is, I just don't think it actually works well for me in the long term. It would be because I don't use my freetime wisely due to most of my energy wasted on work, and the motivation doesn't stay strong enough to focus on it (giving some form of reluctance). Another factor could be that even though I may have done some commissions, it ultimately isn't quite much to work with anyway compared to what I make from my actual job.
The common thing I would use the money would be for downloading games from Steam; not so much for anything meaningful like buying a commission from someone since I don't watch a whole lot of people, nor do I know much about their availability.
I could perhaps increase the prices perhaps, but I don't really think my skills could warrant it. Though I suppose that would mean less business to be bothered with while I carry on with my own business, and if it happens I could try it for a quick buck. It could be as rare as getting a tip from FA's shiny donation. But then again I can't be bothered by it.
I don't know how so many big time artists around here get to have the free time to make so much art for a profit, but I certainly would never be capable of being that serious in making a business out of it; not when I have an actual job to begin with. As someone who is just an amateur artist, I can't handle two jobs anyway.
