The Hello Factor - March 27
🕑 Added 2017-03-27 21:43:54 +0000 UTC I often do warm-up sketches when starting work on projects and they're often wildly un-connected to the work I'm doing to let my brain get used to doing linework again (In this case, it was a warm-up sketch before the Patron sketch for this month).I try to keep things simple. I don't think I'm great at 'cute' or 'cartoony' but its more serving to let me get into that 'art' space I tend to lose overnight. This one was cute enough for me to throw a very simple flat colour on and share though.

My current day-job will be ending. The original plan was to start looking for work again right away to fill in that financial gap. However I've realized I'm in a pretty okay place with my current situation. So I'm going to take a couple months to instead do artwork on a more full-time basis.
This will mean that there is an up-tick in things I post here. But it also means I should be able to start taking on commissions again. I'll find myself with about twenty extra hours a week (I still will be working as a caretaker).
This is a bit of a nervous step for me. While I'm not suddenly hurtling into destitution or anything (I'll be okay, honest!) its a step that means I'm not getting that 'paycheck' every couple weeks. A strange severing of the safety net, which means I'll have to make any extra money on my own. At least for a few months to test out how I manage in getting things done each day.
Any commissions I take will first be taken from folks on Patreon. You all have priority in that regard. The reward tier discount applies as well. The monthly sketch will remain free as a thank you to the folks at the top tier (though I'm very grateful to all tiers, I sadly don't have enough arms to do sketches for everyone).
Friday will be my first official day doing 'Just art' in the mornings. I'm a bit excited. Scared to death. but its something I'd like to try. Job hunting is a miserable venture in these parts. And I'd rather look forward to work-days.
Thanks to all of you. Truly. Past and present. I hope the upcoming bits of eldritch scratching will be worth your generosity.

As the tomb the skeletal guardian was protecting falls to ruin, it now hobbles about madly, paint brush in hand, and renewed vigor for it's new career in undeath!
