Unstuck! ^^
General | Posted 8 months agoWell, I talked to that person, and I was finally able to resolve the dilemma I had with the failed commission (and it only took me over 10 months...)
I WON'T make the same mistake again, and in order to avoid it, I've decided to stay in my comfort zone and NEVER try to open commissions again.
To those who supported me with their advices last time, I want to thank you all for taking your time to help me. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart <3
Cheers and have a nice day! ^^

General | Posted 11 months agoThis is something I'd like to talk about and it's been bothering me for a while now...
Time ago, an user contacted me via DM to talk about a commission I could do for him. We talked about prices, the pose to be done, the characters, among other details. Anyway, things didn't go well for me, the job ended up giving me one of the worst experiences I've ever had in my life, and it became the main reason why I made the decision to never do commissions again.
However, I have the problem that the user is somewhat persistent, and even though I have tried to persuade him to cancel the commission, he still keeps his hopes on me, which I appreciate in a way, although it's not something I can feel comfortable with at all, and even less so when it's a job that I simply don't want to do anymore.
The thing is, this happened about 6 months ago. Yes... I've had the user waiting for his commission all that time.
But even if I go and tell him I don't want to work on it anymore, I'm sure the answer will still be the same. I just don't look for the words or the way to end this. Time keeps passing, I even feel bad for keeping him waiting for so long. The truth is that I'm even surprised that he hasn't gotten fed up at this point with such a long wait. I'm sure that nobody would wait so long just for a commission, although I also recognize that it's my fault for not putting an end to it for a long time.
Since such experience, opening commissions is no longer one of my future plans (probably), the truth is that such experience showed me how much I hate having someone tell me what to draw.
So here's my little problem.

Are my texts cringe??? X'3
General | Posted 12 months agoMaybe I just get carried away too much and just write the first thing that comes to mind when I'm all horny and vulnerable while working on my arts XD
Now on Bluesky!
General | Posted a year agoLink:
https://bsky.app/profile/unskilledu.....35.bsky.social
Actually, I created the account some time ago, but I wasn't convinced to post there yet.
My Bluesky page will be mainly focused on Furry/Anthro art. I'll keep my main activity on FurAffinity and DeviantArt, tho. Just another place to expand my art.
It will help me a lot if you follow me there too :)

I LOOOOOVE paws/feets!
General | Posted a year agoBut sometimes I just want to focus on other areas to praise the beauty of a good body, rather than just focusing on the paws/feet.
Hope you can understand this little flaw of mine ^^

[Not] Accepting commissions! [went wrong...]
General | Posted a year agoSo, the thing is this:
I have almost everything ready to start taking commissions. I just need to define the prices, although I already have fixed some basic prices, established according to my preferences and what I can offer.
Emm... My current situation is the following:
1. Do I already have the media to receive payments?: YES!
2. Do I have the time to work on commissions?: YES! (at least, as far as real life allows me to)
3. Am I ready to start taking commissions?:… BIG NO!
A few days ago (from today 23/06/2024), a user asked me to work on a drawing for him, that would be the first commission I have worked on in my life. And everything was going great! I hoped I could meet my client's expectations, until the job itself made me realize my reality. I don't want to tell the whole story (only if asked), but I'll just say that... It wasn't the best way to live my first experience with commissions.
Some out there will already know what they say about the first experience, which is the most important at any job to get confidence over one self. Unfortunately, I had an unpleasant experience for my first commission assignment. Constant rushing for WIPs and the pressure of having disappointed my client are very strong blows, you know?
Honestly, I don't feel ready to delve into the world of commissions yet, my skills aren't up to par and my confidence has plummeted to the floor with that horrible first experience.
Maybe I'll open commissions at some other time... But it won't be now...
