Overdue Status Update (May 2 2022)
🕑 Added 2022-05-02 22:20:39 +0000 UTCHey everyone, been a while.
I've got a lot to catch up on, so I'll start with what I've been up to. Fist off: I quit my retail job in March so I can focus on doing art full time. I was tired of scrubbing toilets, I was overworked and understaffed and I'm sure I can do better with art. So I'm going to be treating this like its an actual full time job. As in, get up and do this on a 9-5 schedule, write down what I do and when, keep track of how much I make, etc.
Another thing I'm working on is figuring out 3D modeling. I've been dedicating time to learning Blender using tutorials I'm seeing on Youtube, with the hopes it can find me a job. Right now I don't feel like I'm anywhere near the level where I can do 3D Commissions but I'd like to get there in time. I'm a lot more comfortable with objects and environments but not character modeling yet... Currently I'm experimenting with how to use it to help out with 2D works. You can see some examples attached.
I'm also trying out a few new sites to post art on. I posted a lot of old art (including art from before I went as Royaljellysandwich) on Itaku, making it an archive of source. I'm also trying out Mastodon, as the future of Twitter might be uncertain due to a certain Musk-y odor taking it over. I don't plan on leaving Twitter though. If it's too much stuff to track, I've also put it under one convenient list on Linktree.
Finally, I'd like to issue apologies to everyone on my commission list and Patreon I still owe stuff to, and how I've been slow to respond to messages. I struggled to keep up with my work since last summer and fall due to the amount of stress my retail job put me through (part of why I quit) but I intend to get the backlog DONE. This is where those of you come in: feel free to send a message my way if you're still waiting on any rewards, because it's possible I might have actually forgotten about them and I wanna make sure there aren't any loose ends.
Thanks everyone for your support!

That's a HUGE leap to take, best of luck in this now full-time endeavour!
