I've been spending the last few days thinking about what I'm going to do with myself.

I've made it pretty darn clear to myself that I'm not one to be able to handle taking regular commissions, or even requests, all too well. My anxiety coupled with physical limitations is simply too large of a barrier for it to ever be a good and consistent model for my art and any potential income I could make while doing it. I can never promise anything to be completed within a fair period of time, I'd never feel right taking money for it, and I already feel like an asshole for trying to take requests even that I can never get over this anxiety hurdle in order to complete in a timely manner. Which just ends up making me feel even worse and I outright drop it entirely which I'm sure just annoys the people making these requests

So outright commissions just won't work for me at this stage. And requests are something I can't take as regularly as I'd like, so... YCH auctions/sales.

If I dedicate the next week/month to preparing a series of pre-prepared sketch bases, and then offer them up as $20 instant purchases, maybe I can actually eek out a bit of a living on my art. Not enough to actually support myself entirely, but perhaps enough to actually be able to put together a savings account and work towards those big shiny expensive things I'd really like to be able to afford in my lifetime.

I'm going to fiddle with the model. Maybe even try and figure out cheaper and more expensive pricepoints. Perhaps do multiple character type deals, where like five people can buy the same pose and I can draw all their characters into it, sacrificing the exclusive nature, but the tradeoff is that I'd make those particular YCH sales much cheaper than usual.

So I dunno I guess maybe look out for these in the future if you're interested, I'm gonna try and make it more interesting as your average YCH things, mostly because they'll likely be my main thing for the foreseeable future if I can get this off the ground.
