I'm officially now a published illustrator! Will post website when available.

[NEZ @NN_EE_ZZ]

It's my birthday today, and time for this yearly tradition! Thank you for another year!

Think I'm gonna have to draw some bloody fanart in memory of the silver-haired boys after this episode. Falling in love with characters in this show always leads to screaming at the TV at 2 am. #Toonami #JJBA

@Crystal_Shiva Absolutely gorgeous! 😍

[Naomi @naomicococo]

I'm so hyped for the Inuyasha sequel! 😍💕

[Elvenham @elvenham]

@The_Sommelier I get so many of these on my Instagram. I pass this knowledge to you.

[Elvenham @elvenham]

@The_Sommelier No way, bro! Your's is lit fire fam bro dude!

[Elvenham @elvenham]

@dylanwolf @The_Sommelier @Crystal_Shiva @archidraca @Annamatedarts Not talking about preferring high-quality items over knick knacks, per say. I totally understand that.

[Elvenham @elvenham]

@dylanwolf @The_Sommelier @Crystal_Shiva @archidraca @Annamatedarts I guess more context is needed... They openly say how much they love the item and need it in their life, spend five minutes gushing over it, but a dollar is a lot, so they'll "think about it." If the dollar item was too much here, then it's style over price. Quality aside.

@archidraca @ViNull @Crystal_Shiva @The_Sommelier @dylanwolf It's certainly worth a try!

[Elvenham @elvenham]

@ViNull @Crystal_Shiva @The_Sommelier @dylanwolf @archidraca Perfect point. If you think you're doing it because you love it, and you find yourself no longer loving it, then you may be doing it for the wrong reasons. Where is that disconnect? Art is personal, and if that part is gone, so is the love.

[Elvenham @elvenham]

@The_Sommelier @Crystal_Shiva @archidraca @Annamatedarts I do really appreciate that! But in comparison to most commercial artists (I'm just a hobbyist, anyway), I'm relatively mediocre with limited range. I have no delusions of where I stand. Comparisons can be healthy when used for self-improvement and self-critique. And for pricing!

[Elvenham @elvenham]

@Crystal_Shiva @The_Sommelier @archidraca Not to mention demand. If you've got willing customers, it's easy to charge an ample amount for your work. Unfortunately, if the demand isn't there, it's difficult to justify charging what you know it's worth.

[Elvenham @elvenham]

@Crystal_Shiva @The_Sommelier @archidraca @Annamatedarts What's even harder is for people like me who are really, REALLY slow, but only "ok" at art. I can't charge too much or nobody would buy it, but I put in hours for simple pieces. Don't know how many con commissions I've turned down because of that, but that's my own problem.

[🤘Annamated🤘 @Annamatedarts]

Woo boy. Please don't do this to artists. Art takes years of skill to be efficient at producing, and making art is actual labor. They shouldn't be expected to work for minimum wage for two hours of work.

[Elvenham @elvenham]

@Crystal_Shiva Wait for it.

[Elvenham @elvenham]

As long as check cashing places exist, I'll never have to buy sticky notes or cheap pens again. They just appear like magic. These were in my driveway one day.
