Please bare in mind that due to chronic pain/disability, I am a slower artists and wait times CAN be a few months. However I try my hardest to keep everyone updated, I just ask for some patience. If you are looking for a quick turnaround, I might not be the right artist for you.

hey kids i have to make a portfolio by the 11th for my art & design course basically
yeah it was super nice to know one was required when i got the letter literally 9 days before i have to go to the damn welcome event thing

but anyway i can throw in a lot of work i've already done but i want a couple different things so
comment w/ a ref!! and i might draw it idk.
it'll be different from my normal stuff obviously.
i also want to try and do some work with markers but since i have a limited selection, i'll probably just do that with random designs unless your design happens to have the exact colours i have in promarkers

also does anyone know what they actually... expect in a portfolio
it's only a level 2 BTEC/GCSE level so??

edit2:

ok I'm just gonna remove the stuff I said cause it was a little bit of irrational panicking and the problem is being fixed

Basic idea, a guy commissioned me around a year ago, he apparently sent payment which I didn't get, may hve been a mistake on his end or paypal's I don't know, I asked for proof & he talked about money troubles, made it seem like he made a mistake and was saying oh he HADN'T payed but had no money so he might've paid later and I contacted him again recently and he blocked me. There has most likely been misunderstandings and all that... tbh at this point I'm not overly fussed over getting the money since it wasn't a huge amount I was just frustrated over being blanked and I panicked and wanted advice on what to do.
I was blocked & left to my dumb imagination and frustration, started imagining worst case scenario and he maybe reacted in not the best way but I might've come off as quite rude, so... probably just mistakes/misunderstandings all around IT'S BEING SORTED hopefully.


edit:
This journal is a slight overreaction because I have problems with dealing with frustration/stress and I just explode into panic. Sorry if it feels a bit over-dramatic, you can just read the comments for a better/more calm explanation.
