I will absolutely get to the stuff you’ve tagged me in when I can! I just need to get my Stony Loves Steve assignment done, and maybe a @lightsonparkave and Smol Steve Bingo prompt done as well lmao
I have your posts where you tagged me opened in some tabs. I apologize for the delay! Just wanted to let you guys know I’m not ignoring the tags!
Hi again
Hey my darlings. I apologize for falling off the face of the earth last year. After moving and starting my new job, I lost a lot of time to said job. I was tired and in pain all the time and stopped drawing entirely. I’ve since started a different job that is kicking my ass a little less.
I’ve missed you all. I’m hoping to have something to show you soon. Maybe finish that fanart of MerSteve and Tony :o We shall see.
Hope you’re all doing good!
Gonna be feelsy for a minute, I really appreciate you all;
For a long time I really didn't know what I wanted to do with my life when it came to art. Just hearing about how art school is and how the industry is, I knew there was no way I could do it that way professionally.
For a few years I tried my best to freelance, to do commissions. But they were always done for too little money and I was always putting too much effort into them. Getting paid $60 for something that may have taken me upwards of thirty hours is atrocious. And there was no time to draw for me.
In 2020 I dropped the commissions entirely. It just wasn't worth it. And then for a majority of that year and then the next I barely drew at all. I was burned out, tired... (however I am considering bringing commissions back soonish with revised prices and less options)
Only when I started drawing again late 2021 and into this year—2022—did I finally have a handful of goals I wanted to work toward I'm regards to art as a career.
○ I am in the designing stages, but I plan on relaunching my youtube channel to show speed paints of my art and talk about things that interest me or I have an opinion on. I hope to launch it again by the end of the year.
○ Because of TikTok I am growing a following quicker than I have in most places. Not as quickly as some, no, but I'm not doing too shabby. Because of that, I am hoping to also start designing and printing stickers, prints, acrylic pins, etc.
○ In due time I want to start doing booths again, whether they are at conventions, flea markets, art festivals. I'm looking forward to them all in the future.
One day my hope is to run a youtube channel, an online store, and do convention circuits here and there. It's a big hope, a big dream... But it feels attainable to me when a lot of stuff doesn't. I just have to keep putting in the hard work.
I appreciate all of the support each and every one of you give me. The comments, the likes. They help me keep chugging along, even when I'm feeling a lot more shitty from time to time.
Thank you.
