It's been 3 months since I decided to quit my job and pursue art as a full-time career. It's been...challenging? Different? Sobering? We'll go with all of the above. While I feel as though I have not provided enough to you guys, I also feel I have not done enough to build at my foundation as an artist and have not risen up to the challenge of this new path in life. While I have made adoptables which have largely carried me through these past three months, I feel as though I need to be making and contributing more. I still have owed artand I feel as though my Patreon has left much to be desired. On top of that I understand a lot of non-Patrons don't like Patreon and don't want to join. So I think it's time we remedy all my concerns. A Thank You First off I want to thank each and everyone one of you. from the the Favorites, comments, monetary support, and those who just chat with me on Discord. I would not be anything without you and I am truly Thankful for you. New Places to Support I
Two Weeks Notice
Hello everyone! big news on my end. As the title suggests, I put in my two weeks notice at my job. To put it shortly, my confidence in the job was shaken when management pulled me aside and demoted me. I told them I couldn't take that pay cut So I initially put in my notice then. After about a day my boss came back in and told me i could go work for used cars at a different location. I'd still be getting a pay cut but it'd only be for a dollar less rather than $4.50. So I took that job hoping to keep my income steady but as I worked I found i couldn't commit. I wasn't happy adjusting to everything and on top of that I felt I couldn't believe in management. So I found myself growing more and more unhappy and stressed. Finally this morning I didn't want to come into work. I got myself to dress and get on the road but as I drove up I grew more and more depressed. finally i caught my boss and told him it wasn't going to work out. I wasn't satisfied with anything and couldn't push myself

Quality
"I just want it to be my best work." This is probably the worst thing I tell myself during my creative process. Every time I do A piece with a lot of potential gets stuck on the metaphorical back burner and almost never sees completion. I'm currently sitting on a pile of art, stories, and commissions that stretches back almost a decade because I lost confidence in my own ability as I was working on them. This is my perhaps my greatest fault at least, as an artist. What's worse is that I often find myself drifting into negative thoughts because, "I could've created something great back in my 20s" but didn't because I let my own manufactured pressure get to me. What I've been trying to do lately is identify the process of how I get to this position in the first place. I've found that I've actually been having doubts as soon as I put pencil to paper. As such I'll start posting "WIPs" to friends, or on Twitter, or on Discord in order to gauge reactions. The problem with this
