My Lifelong Passion

Circumstances have changed in my life, and now I find myself with more time to dedicate to art. And I've been doing just that. Piece-by-piece, I've been creating what I want - how I want it - just like I've always wanted. I've wrestled with so much internal turmoil over the years, but I think I've finally decided that... I'm okay with doing this as a job. I know the threat of burnout looms on the horizon - the fear of coming to hate the thing I love. Nonetheless, I can plan for it. Prepare to handle it when that time approaches.

To Pay the Bills...

Now the next big hurdle is... finding a way to monetize art sufficiently before my savings run out. I've spent the last few weeks padding out my portfolio. I've also set up at Ko-fi and a Patreon. Of course, I still need to build up more of an online presence if I hope to find people willing to pay for my work... I suppose branching out to stuff like Twitch and YouTube could also be helpful, but I'm still undecided on what exactly to make in terms of videos - aside from art streams. I do plan on doing animations, but those take a very long time to make. I guess it wouldn't hurt though!

For the Time Being...

I guess I should just stay the course. Keep drawing. Keep active of relevant social media to remain visible. And never stop drawing.
