Planning to become a freelance artist
4 years ago
General
Hi all!
It's been a while since I've really wrote anything here. I haven't been all that active with FurAffinity (or with furry/scaly stuff in general apart from Twitter) for recent years. Every once in a while I tend to poke my head up and draw a little bit of art, but then I go "hiding" for several months or so. For that, I apologize.
This has nothing to do with the fandom itself, far from it. I've met some really good people over here, for which I wish to get back in touch and keep up better communication. For the past six years, I've just been working with such (mentally) exhausting day job that makes me want to keep socialising in minimum. Not to mention, all my free time tends to go with not-so-creative activities, and thus art tends to suffer from this. I'm sure many of you can relate with this on some degree.
But things are about to change. I'm currently in the progress of quitting my job. Not to go into details too deeply, but something occurred at my job which made me (and many of my colleagues) to seek other opportunities.
Therefore, I've decided to give a try for freelancing. I want to get back to drawing art, so I will open for commissions later this summer, by the end of July at the latest. I have enough savings so that I can get by sometime without any earnings, so I'm not in trouble right away if things won't work out as expected. Let's just say that after so many years of working on a field that I've been part of, freelancing seems like a breath of fresh air.
I will make another journal once I "go online" and have settled with ToS and pricing. I do owe some art for some people (mainly the raffle things from March) so I will absolutely finish those first before accepting any new works.
And of course, feel free to send notes or PMs if you just wish to talk in general. I'm currently having my summer vacation (just one more day of work remaining with my current employer at the later part of July), so I should have time to respond. Currently visiting my mom though, so that might keep me a bit occupied for a couple of days.
Peace out.
