Update - More Consistent Uploads Going Forward
Posted by BalvoArt 2 years ago
Hey folks, it's been awhile since I've done one of these blog posts but I figured this would be a good place for me to do some open communication on my plans going forward instead of muddying up the descriptions of new content I upload.
First off, thank you very much for all the favorites and watches. I know I haven't been the most consistent uploader on this site while I've been here, but your support means the world to me. I still need to do some catching up on thanking each person for the follows, but that'll probably take some more time. Seriously though, thank you again.
I plan on making a Kofi or Patreon soon to try and push myself into doing this kind of art as close to full-time as possible. I've been really struggling with existential dread and self worth for the past year or so, and I truly want to see if I can try and make a living doing something I'm passionate about. I really want to live a life where I can not dread waking up the next day and going to work a job I hate for the next howevermany years, and I think this may be my path to ultimate happiness going forward.
Also, I'd like to try and be more active in the community with other content creators. Those of you who have reached out to me and added me on Discord seriously gave me hope in a dark time of social isolation, and I can't thank you folks enough for just taking the time to say "hi". That being said, I'm going to be commenting a lot more on various pieces I come across and like, here and on Twitter.
I also want to thank my wonderful Discord server for being some of the coolest people I've had the pleasure of interacting with on the internet. You guys rule, and I'm planning on upping my activity there tenfold to match the enthusiasm you've brought into my community.
Oh, and I'm going to be opening up commissions again in the next day or so with an updated model sheet. Be on the lookout for that if you're interested!
...And I think that's all I had to say! Thank you for the read, and I look forward to being a more active member of the community!

I am really sorry to hear you have been dealing with that and I hope you feel better going forward. I wish you luck as a fellow artist and also just as someone who finds myself in a similar position.

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! I'm sure we can both achieve the futures we desire if we just work hard towards it. You have my support!
