First off I'd like to start with wishing everyone a happy new year and hope you've all had a good holiday season.
I’d like to start off by apologizing for the lack of content and empty promises over the past couple of years, I’m haven’t been very vocal when it comes to communicating with my patrons and community mostly because I’ve always felt that there’s a lack of interaction with my work on social media and even on here. Which is not to say that I’m not grateful with the amount of support I get from everyone as I’m thankful for it.
As an artist who came up from nothing, having zero experience when I started around 2018. 3 years ago I decided to take this seriously and chose to go full time on this career path bc I just couldn’t see myself doing any other kind of work than this, I’ve not always been this dedicated to anything before since I have a very deep connection to laziness but I won’t bore you with that. I’ve always loved video games and grew up playing them and by extension, have a deep passion for creating art and since I’m dedicating myself to this passion of mine, it has also become my only source of income.
With trying to dedicate yourself to a passion comes a lot of hurdles and namely “Money” I’ve solely focused myself on trying to improve as much as I could and always told myself after seeing other creators making a decent living that my art wasn’t good enough to make that much yet as it doesn’t get as much attention on social media and through the years as I tried to tackle on more stuff such as trying to get good at animation and making good posters etc..
I felt that the attention on social media and my income became stagnant and the rate at which I made stuff began to slow down and I would drag on with making projects because the turn out would in the end feel not worth it.
I hate myself for speaking about this cause it all sounds like excuses and like I’m ignoring all the people that have supported me through the years but I really hope it doesn’t come off like that.
I love my job and the things that I do bring me a lot of joy because it's a flexible medium that allows me to make virtually anything I want and I hope that I can start making a decent steady income to justify myself choosing this path because I believe in it and in myself.
If anyone is still here (because I always feel like my words are spoken to the void whenever I make any kind of message post on the internet haha) I wrote this message because I feel that you the few who support me still deserve an apology and an explanation. So thank you for reading all the way through and caring enough about it and thank you for your support and I’m sorry if I Let you down with the lack of content like I said but I will make it up to you from here on out!
