Closed for commissions, ongoing hiatus
7 years ago
I mentioned this on twitter, I haven't been as active here but wanted to comment in full.
I'm shutting down commissions. I've been pushing myself hard wanting to make this more of a living, but i've been drowning and reinforcing bad habits trying to get out of it. It's not healthy for my physically and it's been bad for my work, so I need to stop.
It hasn't been fun for a long time, but it hasn't been fulfilling either. It has only been a grinding chore for a long time now which isn't getting better and it's not helping me improve. I didn't realize how bad it was until I started doing the goofy Red Eye doodles, and how quickly I improved in certain things. It's a bad sign. Particularly as so much of my life became monetary based and only there to make money, no enjoyment or free time.
I'm going to finish out my queue. anyone that I agreed to a commission I deliver.
I'll be dealing at AC coming up and I'll take comms there if you really want one, but otherwise I'm going to stop for a while and just enjoy art again and not turn it into a business.
It may not be forever, I'll definitely still be drawing and making things, but no more commissions for now.
