I'm gonna be drawing. Drawing, drawing, drawing.

Welp, I think I am going to try to take art commissions in the summer while I'm off. I need the money and financial aid next year is all screwy and stuff. I don't want to be like the interns this year, trading slices of cheese for five chips in order to survive

I answered that I will not be getting a commission, but I meant I won't be getting one now because I'm really broke... Maybe after A-Kon and recovering from its faggotry... hehe

[insomniel]

Ah, maybe I'll see you then? If I can afford it, anyway, derp. Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it.

I would love a commission, but right now, I don't have any money of my own. If you're willing to take them after summer, I can do that~

oops i meant in the fall

[insomniel]

I'm gonna be busy after the summer, so if you don't mind a wait, then sure! Thanks~

I really wish I could help you and buy a commission, but I've just been to Otafest and now I am seriously broke. D:

[insomniel]

That's no problem, I just am happy you thought of getting a commission from me.

lol art market is always oversaturated.
If money is a big concern, then I think that you'd earn more with a minimum-wage part-time job for the same amount of effort and time. But if you want to get extra cash while having fun with your hobby, then I don't see any problem. :)
How about selling prints of your fan arts too? Less stress on you and more affordable for everyone.

...while dreaming of a future in which I did listen to my art professors and went to art school instead.
Going to art school isn't the only way to become an artist. Knowledge doesn't come only in the form of classes. Just keep drawing and visiting art libraries during spare time. :D

Yeah, I know I should have gotten a summer job, but I only have a month off and really wanted a break this year before never having a summer break again. It was too late by the time I realized I could use the extra money.

I do want to continue with art as a hobby, though, I just don't think I'll ever have enough time as a pharmacist, or not until I become very old. And as for fanart prints, very few of my fanart is worth making into a print, I'd need to draw more.

i bought your year of the pig aceo. that was a kewl idea! then i commissioned to have one more, done like the year of the rat. so maybe you could do 50/50 commission/sales, where you will only commission people who buy one of your actual art pieces :)

[insomniel]

Well, thanks again for commissioning me. I don't know if I have time to do something like that this time around, maybe I will. We'll see.
