Changes for the future

General
So it's been about 2 weeks since i started my break and i have to say, it has been good. Gave me some time to think and decide what i want to do with my artwork and my approach to them. It might be a bit of a lengthy/ranty journal, but i have headers and such to each section, in an attempt to order my thoughts
My art in general
First of, i do feel like going back to art and such. it's always been a decent way for me to pass my time and to bring ideas to life that might be harder to find artists for that are open or affordable. Though from now on, i definately am going to slow down, a lot. I feel like im done trying to rush one thing out after the other, and im just going to take my time on each piece. I hope that way i can actually enjoy works as i finish them, rather than disliking them a day after posting them.
Along side that, i am going to focus a bit more on what i want to work on and throwing out the idea list i've been keeping. I rather work on ideas as they come, instead of working on old ideas that i have been sitting on for literally years in some cases. This doesnt mean im not going to feature friends in my artwork anymore, but only when i feel like it. I'll also be toning down give-aways, cause usually they give me more stress than what they're worth, so if you were only following me to try and get some free stuff, probably best to just go.
Commissions and ychs
Alongside me doing less giveaways, i will also be not doing commissions anymore, even the sketchy comms i started doing. Along with wanting to take my time with art ive noticed it just adds a lot of unneeded stress alongside my day job. Even with the smaller commissions where i feel the need i have to be perfect, something which is less present in the case of personal work. This will also extend to YCHs. I might very rarely do one, but only if i really attach to an idea i want to be roped in for several hours in my off time. I will also no longer do bonuses once a bid reaches past a certain limit, cause in my experiences, it just expands the idea beyond the scope i have set aside for it.
I will finish what i have left in owed work and that will be basically it for commissions
