how are you all doing? doing alright. I've got an update on my computer. things didn't go to plan as it turns out, i was better getting a new set-up this whole time.

now the good news is I've found a set-up that is compatible with the shite I already bought for my current computer. the bad news however is that it's gonna cost a grand to purchase and ship it to my place.

so here I've been looking into ways to make more money as an independent artist. so far it's make a porn game or youtube. and it turns out youtube is much like becoming an artist. IT TAKES FREAKING AGES FOR IT TO GO SOMEWHERE! seriously if i had known this a few years ago i would have gone into programming.

on that note, my comms are open, 5 slots. please and thank you.

so heres the deal, i've got a couple of projects i want to finish before i focus on making a porn game. i've already found a course on Skillshare that teaches you how to make a visual novel game using Gadot. (why there isnt one for renply, the engine used for most visual novels is beyond me.)

now once i start, will i stop making porn? no. however, i will be doing other projects on the weekends from now on or when I'm not learning to code. i still want to make good shit but the money comes first and i'm sorry to tell you a lot but my comms aren't bringing the bacon. (at least currently) so its time to focus on something that has a better chance of doing so.

it might be better to put it like this. As it stands trying to get more people to support me from commissions is currently proving to be less than desirable. my name isn't out there yet, so getting my name out there will be seen as a long-term goal. for the short term tho, I'm going to focus on programming. however, the current projects are my main focus.

with that said i do have to ask you a lot something. those of you who commission animation regardless of 3d or 2d and those artists who make animation as commissions. have you gone about it? did you pay for a set amount of time for the animation? say like 10 seconds? or did you pay for a simple loop? honestly, I'd like to get some info on this as this might help my commissions.

lastly, I'm considering creating a Patreon. now given what i just said about my commissions. I'm a bit iffy about it. i see the benefits but i get the sense it's only worth doing when you've got your name out there.

i'm also considering creating a twatter account for my art. while i'm loathed to use it in my mind it still suffers from the same shit that keeps making it a shit hole where all it takes is one cunt to cancel you over something you might not have even done. it's getting... slightly more sane. its improving is what i'm trying to say. to the point where people on there are getting a large following and support which is something I need. the question is, is it worth the risk? let alone the bullshit.

honestly, i would like to hear your thoughts on the matter. i'm iffy about it but i do see the benefits along with the potential dangers.

well thats all i got to say currently. i hope your all doing well. i hope life is going well for you and i wish you all a good one. take care, everybody.
