Update about my situation!
🕑 Added 2020-08-09 07:46:24 +0000 UTCHi guys! I told (my patrons) that I'd write this update, so here we go.
So, especially people on DeviantART have been left with radio silence for months; I'm really sorry about that. In March I had quite a big burnout and had to take time off school. That didn't last long though, as in April my internship as an animator for a game company begun. In June my summer job also begun, and I've essentially been working two jobs this whole summer. I'm also working on art commissions whenever I can.
It's been a lot, and I've just been so exhausted. Uploading to DeviantART doesn't take long but it was just a huge mental toll for some reason.. I don't think I've drawn a single panel of Rabbit Hole since March, which really hurts me because it's my favorite thing to draw. I really don't want to give you an impression that I'm getting tired of comics, I love drawing them. It's just that currently it's where least of my income comes from, and I need to work hard to be able to pay my rent & food & stuff.
So that's the summer, what about the future?
Well, with the pessimist that I am, I expected to graduate jobless, and my plan was to take a year or maybe two to really try concentrate on the comic & other art stuff. I've never done that, I've always been working/studying at the same time.
Turns out, I'm not going to do that this year either, as I was offered a job as a game animator! I'm so happy because I always thought a job as an animator of all things, was a too tiny industry for me to get into, but I did it!!
Still, I'm so conflicted. I'm realizing more and more that my dream would be working on my comics and drawings. While I am very exited, I'm also pained that the future I had planned isn't going to happen after all, at least for now.
So finally, what does this mean for my comics?
I won't stop, promise! I just have to find a schedule that works for me. I think when my summer job ends, I might have a bit more time for drawing things other than commissions. I do want to start my other comic after RH, too. I'm really hoping that there will be a time when I can try to concentrate on my comics full time, even for a year or maybe two.
I'd like to end this ramble by thanking all my patrons, you really keep me going!! And big thanks to anyone who read until the end hehe. Love you all lots!
