IMPORTANT LIFE UPDATE!
4 years ago
Hiya! Been a while since I updated here hhhh. Have been back from vacation and boi howdy do I wish it were longer *sob*.
Anywho, since I've been back I have been working thru my commission queue! I know some have been waiting for a while and I sincerely thank you all for your patience. I do plan on clearing my queue in the upcoming weeks.
With that said, I will likely keep commissions closed for a while, and probably not have a new YCH for a bit. Lately my wrist has been acting up and tbh I think I've overworked it pffff. It's been a bit sore and swollen lately, so I've been trying to rest it and not draw for hours on end like I usually do XD I am still working on commissions, but once I'm done those I will be giving my hand the break it deserves aaa.
On another note, I would like to work on more personal art for a while. I really want to better myself as an artist and figure out my style. Right now I'm,,, sorta satisfied with my style, but I know I can do better. I also just,, wanna draw my own fursona more >3> Haven't really drawn for myself as much as I want to, and I wanna take the time to be able to do that when I can.
Lastly, I have recently had a big life change. Well,, not super big but big enough worth mentioning. I will be getting promoted at my job, which is a big financial gain for me! On the downside tho, I will be working more hours. I will not have as much free-time to draw anymore...
I've always wanted to be a full-time artist, but as time goes on, sometimes I feel like that's still so far out of reach for me. And well,,, ya boi's gotta eat. I'm not there yet. I'm not a popular artist, nor will I be anytime soon I fear. I cannot sustain myself with being a part-time employee and a part-time artist at the same time. I really hate to sacrifice my art-time.. I genuinely do. But I couldn't pass the promotion opportunity when it will help me financially so much. I've struggled financially quite a bit for the past few months, and... I'm really tired of it.
So TDLR; I'm not gonna be doing art as frequently anymore. Not to say that I'm closing commissions forever! But right now, I really just need to be financially stable. And I just want to become a better artist.
I've gained so much love over my art these past few months, and for that I am so, SO grateful. I honestly didn't think I'd make it this far. I'm really sad that I won't be able to draw as much anymore. but maybe I will find a decent work-life balance and be able to figure something out in the future.
Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. I'm working thru a lot of things right now, but I'm sure I'll make it in the future, hopefully soon! ^w^
