Ain't no bitches gonna hunt no ghosts. (old art)
This is old art but with slight updates and with everyone rounded up for one image. I've been in a real Ghostbusters mood, but was too busy with other things to make new art, so I just threw this together to make myself feel better. šā¤

Aww, I hope I can do that for you one day!! My job definitely supports me well, but it takes a lot of my art energy for projects I'm not all that passionate about, and so when I'm stable I kinda want to leave it and do more lively illustration work, including just fun commissions for friends!!
Oh I see! Well either way I wasn't offended! Sometimes commissions are just necessity and not passion. But Im happy to hear this. Also been at a job that saps ones life force, Im so sorry and hope one day you get a job that leaves you with more energy. In the meantime thank you for sharing your warming art with us! <3 <3
Yeah, I'm also afraid that that will happen if I switch to doing comms (and misc contract work) for a living, but I'm gonna be honest with ya, after years of what I'm doing now (which is art, but often nothing like what I'd like to be doing and sometimes only barely, technically art!) it sounds so good I'd have to hope that I wouldn't lose passion for fun, lively creature work for a loong, looong time (although I do fully know burnout is such a big worry!)
Im really curious what type of art you do for work now XD but I can def see how it drains you, any kind of drawing takes lots of brain power... mental tiredness is just as bad as physical tiredness. Have endured both types of jobs!
And well commissions for a living, its what Im doing now out of necessity and its not easy at all. Its hard to say if you'd lose your passion or not, it seems to affect everyone differently. Ive seen some people who are just art machines and can get the work done then happily do personal art alongside. Sadly Im not one of those lmao! Im in the other camp where when Im done with paid work I dont have much energy for personal art and the times that I do, like 50% of time I dont even know what I feel like drawing any more. It sucks sometimes but it is, what it is. No way to know which type you'll be until you try doing it fulltime.

I design toys for a company! And I LOVE when I get to just draw, say, like, a Valentine's Bear or something, but a lot of the time, especially lately, they have me doing things that are more like "graphic design," (packaging, hangtags) and THAT I cannot stand. I was never trained for it, and do not want to study it in my own time, and no matter how I try to say that it causes trouble. The job is also just stressful overall, so I know I can't be here forever. Problem is, it pays REALLY WELL and also, you know...health insurance. -_-
I totally feel that too!! I have never been great with commissions for that reason, although I always chalked it up to being because I would do commissions on my free time around a full-time job, and that used to hurt me like nothing else ever could. It definitely left scars. I guess I'm so beat up by my current situation that I fantasize that doing commissions when the commissions ARE the full time job must be lovely, but it definitely comes with things like not being paid hourly for a comm, so if, say, 3 hours are put into a sketch that just IS NOT working for some reason, those three hours are GONE. Commissioners also don't always ask for something you're good at, and it's one thing for me to push my boundaries on free time, but another thing when under the pressure of making money, and (I really struggle with this one, it's a big reason I don't do comms!) not letting the client down.
So I TOTALLY feel you, and I bet I'd get right back into the painful modes of commissions quickly, even if I switched to it for my main job, but I think my heart just wants to believe otherwise. D;

Thank you!!! I hope to do more updated works with them soon!! at the moment I've been stuck for a week trying to figure out how to equip a dog with a proton pack. š I think I'm like 99% there but this is a huge struggle (I am NOT a prop-drawer but that's kinda the point! I shall use a hyperfixation to make myself learn!!)
