Why I dont do Commissions anymore
honestly?? creating art for other people has been sucking the soul out of me. like I literally have no time or energy left for my own stuff. and on social media itās always this weird pressure like āoh the artist will finish my piece in 2 weeks⦠or 4⦠or wheneverā as if weāre machines running on deadlines no one even asked us about. everything has to be FAST or people get weird about it.
Iām so done with that. if my art wants to be slow, then it can be slow as hell. thatās how it actually turns out good anyway.
and Iām NEVER doing āpromised artā again. ever. had a friend basically force me to finish something I drew for FREE and like??? no. absolutely not. I was literally just gifting stuff without thinking and somehow it turned into expectations I never agreed to.
and god the experiences Iāve had⦠that whole āyou have to work no matter whatā mindset? garbage. my device broke, I couldnāt finish anything, I had no money to replace it, and people still couldnāt just. wait. they acted like I owed them something when I was barely keeping it together.
so yeah. thatās why I donāt do commissions anymore. Iām choosing peace.
thanks for listening to my little rant. š
