Journal: Looking forward (Patreon)

Howdy folks!

Today I want to share with you something I've been thinking of for a long while now, and that is that I am no longer open for commissions indefinitely.

Over the years commissions have been a very important pillar of my indie artist journey, a very fun and challenging experience for me. I've always been thankful for everyone who's ever commissioned me for their support and trust.     But, as I grow older and wearier life starts taking it's toll on me. What used to take me a few days turned in to weeks, weeks to months and finally years.  Juggling Patreon rewards, commissions, game dev and social has really burnt me out. And when I took up animation that was the last drop of my sanity. I became stale and I didn't even like tickling anymore, if you can believe that!

I lost the count on how many times I wanted to drop out and just let it all burn to the ground. But being an indie means no work, no food. So I've been hanging in there like a leaf holding just barely.

Until I made it a priority to save what sanity I had left by cutting things off. Takin more breaks, playing games, just turning my self down for days at a time. And after a LONG time I once again like tickling, think about new ideas and projects I'd like to do.

But in order to move my forward I'm cutting off commissions to focus on animations and game dev. Cuz I really want to do that!   I'm also considering changing my Patreon to mention that I may take a month or two for game building . Cuz if I'm making games, I'm not making rewards for the GAME will BE the Reward!This way I will finally have the means to finish a game for once!

I will let you guys know when I'm making these changes. For now, I have two commissions left and then no more commissions for me. For a very long time.

I think that's it. Thank you for reading and all your awesome support!💖
