#drawing summary

Let's see...

Achieved start of the year goals

Didn't fulfill my last year's goal of making commissions a full time job. I mean, I did for a little bit while but it's still not the right time yet.

Though what I did unexpectedly accomplish is that my fear of cockroaches had decreased. We had a family of house shrews this year (usually we had mice) and I learned they mainly eat insects. I still like to avoid killing the few huntsman spiders we have hanging around so the next big insect available would normally be a roach. So I'd bonk one if I find one (instead of immediately bolting out the room) so I can feed the shrews. I mean cockroaches, specially the American cockroach, still freaks me the heck out. But, like, it's shrew food.

Oh, also bought a display tab. I'll always be grateful to the Ko-fi supporters for reaching this goal! I'm still in the middle finding my rhythm with the tablet. Considering getting a paperlike screen protector to minimize the glass texture.

2024 goal

A new laptop of course. My ideapad is in the cusps of dying. 😭

I don't feel that productive in the drawing department this year. :/ My current day job does pay a little higher than my commissions and ko-fi requests combined... But I really don't fill fulfilled when I make less drawings. Let's see if I can make commissions a full time job this year. Or at least try to see if I can make my top source of income drawing related.

There are other goals I hope to accomplish this year, but these are the main drawing related ones.

Regarding commissions

There will be some adjustments to the background prices in regular commissions. Because, like, I shouldn't price it lower than the base price if I spent as much time drawing it. Lol

>  I've decided to completely discontinue subscription stuff. (The Patreon and Ko-fi subscriptions.) It's just, basically being paid a bunch of commissions (drawing rewards) in advance isn't a good arrangement for me. It gets me very antsy having a queue that are all already paid, and it's a little hard to focus on the current piece. (There are other causes as to why the patreon/ko-fi are being stopped. But I think that's the biggest reason.)    The patreon page will still be around until I posted all of the drawings I owe from the people there. Just no more new subscriptions this year.

>  I miiiiiight still be taking a few doodle/sketch requests though. This time for the general public. But, like, please don't expect much on that! That might get jinxed or something.

>  Due to a sudden major happening in real life, I'm considering making commissions a full time.
