Whelp, I'm done.

Chair's been broken for a while, but now it's to the point where I can't work on art for more than a few minutes before my back starts screaming and I don't have the money to replace it. So now it's over.

I've had commissions open since the beginning of the year and in all that time, I've had one single person contact me who backed out cause they didn't use Paypal. I won't say I get it, but it does suck to feel like you're being ghosted. I won't say my art's the cream of the crop, but I'd say it gets a decent amount of views/faves. I see people posting commission work all the time that I'd say I'm at least on par with and their price tags are a lot higher than mine are!

It bums me out because I like making art. I love drawing and I love animating. I made as much as I could back in the day, but I also had to eat, so instead of doing what I loved, I broke my back on multiple labor jobs just so I could keep my head above water and ten years of that accomplished savings amounting to six months of living expenses. So I decided to do this because it didn't matter. Either path was just staving off the inevitable, but I wanted to look back on my life and say at least I was able to do something I enjoy. I just wanted to be happy for once and I was happy doing this. Just wish it could've lasted longer.

Look, the 'tl;dr' take-away from this is pretty much, if you want to see more art from me, commission me. I just flat out need the money. I'll prolly keep shitposting in BBS and I got some old finished pieces I might add to the gallery at some point, but if I suddenly go dark, this post should make it pretty unambiguous what happened. Assuming anyone even notices...
