The Fool starts here

Hi y'all, I am coming out of my mental-health-induced hiatus to open emergency commissions for April. I am currently looking for a job where I live, and life events call for extra money. Here's what I offer: sketches - 5 EUR flat color drawing - 20 EUR full color drawing - 30 EUR I will draw anything, with some exceptions - Fetish/Gore/Mecha are a no no, while I will consider Animals/Furry Art/NSFW depending on the request (will also ask for extra money for that). If you want to commission me, my DMs and my art email ([email protected]) are open. If you cannot, I would still be immensely grateful to you if you could share this post. Lastly, Ko-fi tip jar here, in case anyone doesn't have means for a commission but still wants to throw a quarter in my direction. Love y'all, and thanks for all the help. 🙏🏼

So, no Artist Wrap-up this year. I basically have been in an artistic rut for a long time now. I hit a wall in 2023 and am still trying to understand how to get my inspiration back. 2024 has been... a year. I am trying to understand how to manage life, trying to have a plan that I am able to follow for more than a few days or weeks, and trying to understand where my priorities are. All this while trying to stop feeling useless, un-aimed, not accomplishing anything, uncommitted, uninspired.

I'd like to transform this blog (or maybe open a new one) into an artistic journal, where I take notes of what is on my mind artistically, what is my process at the moment, where I am mentally and emotionally, what are mistakes that I feel I am making etc.

I'd also like to start making small streams where I try to get back to draw and make studies. Even if I am not joined by anybody, I'd still like to mimic the study calls that my friends and I used to hold during covid, where everyone was focusing on their own thing, together.

That said, we'll see where 2025 will bring us.

tagged by no one, but it sounded fun so...

Took me a while to post this, but here's one of my most recent commissions for @nic0-r0bin. Thank you for the lovely request!

from last year's trend on twitter (rip). Original template by @/sabattons here - also check out their art, it's amazing!

I feel like this year has been mentally challenging in many different ways, peppered with self-doubt, ADD and a good dose of impostor syndrome. Because yes, why would you feel stuck, unproductive, energy depleted when you have no apparent reason to feel like that at all? :)

Of the projects that I intended to work on, I barely scratched the surface. I tried to get back to writing, and I'm feeling like a middle schooler writing her first fanfiction. Tried, multiple times, to commit to a planning system, to a working routine, to function and plan like an adult, and failed miserably every single time.

How can I hope to have a professional career selling my art if I am not able to do the basic shit to work on what I'm supposedly passionate about?
