Updates 'n stuff (Patreon)

Commissions
I guess we'll start  off with commissions, since I've had a few more inquiries lately. I  still have a few people to get through on my current waiting list, so  it's gonna be a bit of a wait before I started making another list.  Plus, an important thing to mention is that I'll probably bump my prices up a bit after this batch. Current price is $40, it'll probably go up to $60, maybe $70.

I kinda feel bad any time I increase my prices, but at the same time, I know I'm still selling myself really short  in terms of treating commissions as an hourly wage. Even with Patreon  and commissions combined, it's still a long climb until I can make a living off of lewd things, so I hope you all understand. :T I might make a 'sketch' option available again sometime in the future for those of you with tight budgets, not sure when though.

General art stuff
I  started making this journal last night and wrote a bunch of shit that  was way more depressing than it needed to be. So, here's the "it's a new  day and I'm not physically and mentally drained" version. ^^;

To  summarize my original thoughts, I think I need to take a bit of a  breather from art, I need to re-evaluate my goals, how I can achieve  them, etc. To clarify, I won't stop drawing (especially since I  still have monthly Patreon pics and commissions to get through), so  don't worry about that. :P

My biggest issues at the moment are my  style and my ability to come up with ideas. Style is an on-going thing,  I often flip-flop between trying to make art that's accurate/detailed  and art that's simplified and easy to make. I've got some plans on how  to find a middle ground, so hopefully something clicks when I'm testing  them out. As for coming up with ideas, I don't really know what's up  with me. Maybe I'm too busy with everything as-is, so I don't have time  to daydream about random ideas. Maybe my hermit-like behavior is  stifling my creativity. Or, maybe my brain is just getting dumb, I  dunno.

In any case, I'm gonna use April as an opportunity to  focus on me a bit and regain my footing. Mostly, I think that will  translate to drawing my OC's and messing around with random doodles,  rather than fully-finished, fancy pics.

Not  sure what else to add, I'm tired and sick, so I'm extra scatter-brained  today, lol. I guess I should give another thanks to all of you for  following me, liking my stuff, supporting me, commissioning me, etc. So,  thanks!
