Commission plans for the future

Figured I’d throw this out there to see what the general sentiment may be
After a few videos and several voice chats with some very good friends of mine, I believe I’ve been in a persistent state of on-off burn outs with my art.
I’ve consistently found myself procrastinating on commissions owed, while taking on more work simultaneously. I wind up doing quick silly doodles as a way to cope, which are fun and produce some creative results, but ultimately wind up in commissions being side lined.
That all said, I believe i must take measures to prevent any more prolonged waiting for new commissioners and current one.
I am gonna be closing my commissions indefinitely until further notice, and I will have to cut down on the amount and the ambitiousness of the comms.
Make no mistake, I fully intend to take on more work! You guys are truely remarkable, seeking out if I am open to take on ideas. I understand that this may come off as a slap in the face, but art is very much a difficult thing for me to manage (a look into my previous journals is prime evidence ^^;), so I must beat some self control into myself to find a foothold where I can relieve myself of the troubles I create.
With a job and college over my head, along with learning to drive, and prepping a portfolio for a job within the 3D and/or game industry, adulthood is hitting me with everything it’s got. I gotta get myself into shape to face it. I sincerely hope you all can understand my position and thoughts, and thank you for doing so.
You are all appreciated

Sounds like the responsible thing to do. You've got a lot on your plate and taking on more work than you can handle doesn't lead anywhere good!

Yeah, you gotta have a ton of self-discipline to make this stuff work, and backing off for a bit is a good way to regroup and tackle it again at a later time. Everything you do, including taking breaks, is a transactional decision.

Do you intend to pursue work in the game industry?

OP
If it’ll provide me with the valuable experience and income I need to make my own ambitions feasible, I don’t see why not

Take your time buddy! Good luck with the job and studies ^_^


Hey, it is understandable! This is definitely a difficult time for you, that's for sure and understandably so. You are a really awesome artist with tons of potential and I'm sure things will work itself out after awhile. Just relax and take it easy ^^

I think it’s the right call pal. Take it a day at a time, get everything settled. :)

Definitely take care of yourself, first and foremost. Backing off I'm sure will help you a lot!

I definitely understand that. I hope everything goes well for you! A job in the game industry or 3D would be wonderful.
