Hello there! You've might have noticed that I'm uploading a ton of art recently. It's because I'm archiving stuff that I've been doing since 2012. A lot of it began with DeviantArt, so I'm uploading a lot there as well. And it has been making me think...

I've done a lot of requests for people in drawing their OCs. And I feel really jilted about it. Mainly because I didn't receive much in return for all the hard work I was putting into these pieces. I was getting practice, sure, but I feel like I was ripping myself off. On top of that, I didn't make any new friends doing free requests. Just a lot of users who took advantage of my weakness.

So this is really a melancholy process as I'm uploading these pieces. But once I'm finished posting everything that was up previously, I think I can retire from DA and focus on my Weasyl gallery. Even then, I really doubt I can be a noticeable artist here or anywhere. I've had some pretty bad experiences doing commissions, walking away feeling like I cut me own throat by practically giving away art. But on the other hand, my stuff isn't unique or special so I don't feel fair in charging a lot for it. I'm having difficulty in finding that balance.

Anyway, I guess I have to wait to see what the future holds. If art is not a part of it, so be it.
