Hello Everyone!

This journal is just to update you all on my plans for the next few months. I'll put big titles if you're only interested in one component of my updates. I also like to take these opportunities to thank all of you for enjoying my art, interacting and commissioning me. It is all graciously appreciated.

COMMISSIONS

I just finished my queue and I am making the decision to not open for new illustration commissions immediately. I love doing commissions for you guys, but commission work is much more mentally demanding than making random personal doodles. I require a break without needing to focus so much of my free time on them. At least for a brief period! I will re-open eventually when I feel inspired to do so. I also don't want to over work myself so I can enjoy them more when I take them on again.

There will be a price increase when I re-open. I would like to have smaller queues and need to close less frequently. If you remember my previous prices and were interested in a commission, I won't be offended if you're not interested at the higher price(I haven't decided on specifics yet. Those will be available when I'm open). Or if any of you simply aren't interested anymore for any other reason that's A-Okay too!

I appreciate the patience of all of you waiting for me to re-open. Seeing so much interest in my art is really flattering and motivating. The idea that people even want to pay me for artwork is really cool ;w;


TWITTER RAFFLE

I am going to be doing a twitter raffle for a free 2-character sketch! And doing loose sketches is pretty relaxing whether it's my or someone else's characters.

It's not for any specific reason other than I want to. And I'm curious how much reach It will get :p I just need to finalize the ad for it. I will probably have it up this weekend. Possibly today? I will make a new journal linking it for anyone interested.


SCULPTURE COMMISSIONS

I just need to finalize my prices and TOS. I love sculpting and it's something different I want to try. I still need SOME sort of creative outlet when stepping away from more intensive commission drawings. It's going to be a pilot project and I'm only going to accept one customer at first. If I hate doing it I obviously won't do it again, but I doubt that will happen. Expect there to be some kinks to work out as I'm not used to selling physical products. I just want to do my best and make something nice for someone.

When it comes to sculpting I enjoy the process more than having a resulting product, so doing them on commission seems natural? The current sculptures I have posted in my gallery do not indicate the quality I want to achieve on commission. I put very little pre-thought into personal ones. I want to do a much better and thoughtful job sculpting for other people.

So keep an eye out for a journal indicating Im ready to accept. I will keep a waiting list if more than one person is interested. I'm not really sure what to expect yet or if there will be any interest at all. It's all new and I'll be very grateful to anyone willing to be my first guinea pig >:3


ETC.

I will be having a new computer built over the next few months. I've had my current one since I was a teenager and it's struggling to keep up with what I require from it sometimes. It still functions and is fine for low-pressure personal stuff, but it's really frustrating to work with when I want a nice big file. Building my new computer also plays a big part in my delayed re opening of commissions. It's a priority before I accept them again so I can deliver quality work.

I'm also going to dedicate the next few months to focusing on my physical and mental health more. I'm trying to start exercise again and start cooking better. Doing different relaxing activities is also something I intend on doing. My schedule has been very samey for a while(work all week, draw all weekend, sleep, repeat)so incorporating other things is probably a good idea to keep me from going—uh—bonkers.

--Baa and thanks for listening
