I'm a sole payer into a 900$ a month apartment. I have to work at least 38+ hours a week to make pay bills/rent. I'm also diabetic so its hard to keep my energy and I cant use sugar as a energy stimulant. What ends up happening is I'm usually to tired to work on art when I get home. A lot of times I need my day offs just to feel normal again energy wise for the next weeks work.
To make matters worse I'm just not able to get my brain in a state where I can commission properly.
I like doing art but without any form of payment is really rough for me to justify my time and it means I have less time in my life to recoup my energy. Art doesn't drain me as much as work does, duh. But it doesn't let me regain my energy as well either.
I do still love doing art but honestly even just making 2$ donation to my subscribestar would help me a ton guys. Also this next year My resolution is to start animating every time I do art. I do want to be known as a great smut animator. Still images are great but I want to get into motion :3
I do plan on setting up at least one day a week to stream my animation progresses. Providing work doesn't take my time away that much. I'm trying my best to make everything work guys. Stick with me I may not be a commissioning artist but I still don't aim to disappoint. I do also plan on steering into pokemon / made in abyss/ other shows I'm into art.
Good luck! That does not sound easy, but I believe in you uwu. Art does drain your energy, I'm supposed to be drawing right now but instead look at me, I am browsing Inkbunny lol. Can't wait for your animations
Good luck! That does not sound easy, but I believe in you uwu. Art does drain your energy, I'm supp
