NOW FOR THE JOURNAL!
Okay, so I do not have a full TOS (terms of service) posted anywhere, I normally go over it with the client before I do a commission, I'm currently working on writing it all out and putting it up on my website BUT seeing how in the past week I have seen some comments and direction with some of my commissions from people that have been rubbing me the wrong way... and I need to put some rules down that you

------------------------------------------

Hey guys just a little bit of an update on what's going on with me and my work.
I have been feeling a little down lately, trying my best to not show it everyone unless you're like attached to my hip as a "sister" er...... well you know who you are.

I am proud of my artwork, I am proud of who I am however I feel as if I'm alone.
I have felt this way for a while and to be honest I don't like it. I see a lot of people I know around me having fun, doing things, giving things, getting things, and I'm like "Hello! Can I play too?" and I just feel left out or just... well alone.

This then brings my feelings for my art down, and I begin to question "Does it stand out?" "Do people like my characters?" "ARE MY CHARACTERS WELL DEVELOPED!?"
and to which I know all the answers, but I don't feel as if the answer I have are what's right... not based on how people react to my work or take my work.
I may get a head nod here and a like there but there is nothing but that... a few hits.
I want to know what you like, why you like what I can do improve.
Then I see things that just piss me off because they get SO BIG and it's because of stupid reasons or just because you know, tits. I don't want to be known as the girl who draws dicks or boobs.... I want to be known as a good artist, a good friend, someone you can relate to and talk to.

I see artist out there like that and I aspire to be them.


All I can do is hold my head up high and keep going.

AND I AM AND WILL!

All I know is that I am my own worst enemy so the longer I'm down the more I hurt myself.

I just needed to get that off my chest, because I felt it was important to let you all know that I'm not in the greatest of moods lately, and due to that my work suffers, and it takes me longer to do things...
HOWEVER this is what's up and what you can expect to see from me soon:
