Friday rambles 2021_11_12

I'm going to make this a weekly thing, brace yourself

• Today I made rambling a weekly thing, gonna post them on Fridays. I am an unlimited font of bad ideas and complaining so this should actually be easy.
• I almost never take commissions but I'd gladly do a one of a kind unique commission for someone if they paid me 3k dollars or whatever a piece of art goes for on ThE NeW CrEaTiVe EcOnOmY these days. Guessing a commission is a less attractive option as far as the laundering of money goes though.
• Comcast internet has been flaky all week which has been a major pain in the ass, but at least my mobile hotspot connection is stable enough for me to do my job
• I don't really want to make merch, I just wanna share my stories and illustrations and improve my art skills so I can do it more effectively. Stickers and prints are whatever, they're easy to make, and I like sending each order out myself, but everything else feels like a distraction from what's actually important. It's not like I need to monetize my damn hobby because I have my actual job. Anyway, this all goes out the window when GoodSmile Corp asks me if they can make a Skye Nendoroid (please.....)
• I've been using an iPad Mini 6 lately, and I really like the small size for sketching. I move the sketch onto my bigger iPad Pro for doing the lineart and finishing up, but I've found just being able to hold the iPad in my hand for drawing makes it easier to be looser and more carefree with my sketching, and somewhat paradoxically (or not) it results in better looking sketches.
• I still want to make an Endless Monday VN, but just thinking about drawing the same assets over and over and animating 5 different characters or whatever makes me wanna barf. As far as coding goes I do that stuff at work all day, I don't want to do that in my spare time too. I think illustration/comics is still the best storytelling medium for me since I don't have the patience for animation or game development
• It's getting dark outside so early now. And where has the year gone. I can't believe we only have 1.5 months left in 2021 what did I even do this year

Anyway thanks for your support as always I'll draw one (1) fanart for Patreon, tell me what character I should draw please. <3
