[Blog] Readying for April
🕑 Added 2023-03-28 17:35:38 +0000 UTCGetting ready for the next month.
Health Concerns
I've been feeling lightheaded the last two days, with shortness of breath and minor headaches. I thought it might've been a carbon monoxide leak, but was told that my unit has a detector for that. So, who knows what it might be...?
My health has generally been deteriorating slowly over the last few years, so it could just be related to that... But, yeah. Just thought I'd bring it up just in case.
Concept Art
I didn't produce any concept art this month, but for those of you who are new, do remember that you still have access to the Dropbox Archive and can read through the last several years worth of Concept Art posts you have never seen before.
The next concept art post may feature stuff for the Beaumont Practice Comic, as I do have to design a few characters before they show up. A Vampire & another Hunter.
That said, it looks like I've started playing Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, and I've wanted to replace some of my card arts with custom variants, like replacing "Vampire Hunter" with Elayne Beaumont or gender-swapping "Dark Magician." In which case, I might also use Concept Art for the developmental process of those illustrations & designs. Just an idea and an additional bit of value to give our concept art, since it can often feel rather random or forced at times.
Commission Focus
As previously mentioned, I'm running out of money will need to start earning more. So, I'll be opening commissions next month, and I think I might price them $225. It's a less accessible price than before, but with my health being what it is, I just can not produce as much work as quickly as I used to.
Given how important money is, this will probably be my primary goal every month. Maybe just 4-5 jobs, just enough to double my income (or get close to that).
-
Based on the results of our recent poll. I'm not going to go out of my way to draw what I might not feel like drawing at any one time, but it's good to see what content you guys value over others. I'll keep that in mind as I continue to create, especially if the status quo is disrupted by external factors, like my health.
Anyway, don't forget to eat & sleep.
