Illustration Plans/Mapπ + Transparency πΆβπ«οΈπ’
🕑 Added 2023-12-30 00:22:35 +0000 UTCHowdy everyone! I'm so happy that I got to get those adopts done! With those concluded I wanted to make a visual that showed what plans I had for the fast approaching new year. None of these shown are going to be in any particular order as I usually work best when I spread out so don't take this as a literal map but more a points of interest one. Super excited to get these started and going as I used to have a really hard time making big plans like this for myself so seeing me make this makes me so proud of myself for being more responsible.
Now transparency part. I'm going to stop apologizing (as much) for being delayed or behind on artwork here and Twitter as well as for not being as active socially in both places. I know that seems like a given but for me it's needed. I am a one-man army and honestly, I feel like I've been running myself into the ground trying to meet these ungodly demands or expectations. Seeing exit responses be "NSFFluffle wasn't as active as I expected" while isn't a big deal it still does creep up on me sometimes. Sometimes I find myself asking "Am I too slow, am I taking too much time?" "How fast do they want me to be posting?" it wasn't until I got my new brace and looked at it and thought to myself "Am I willing to hurt my body to meet a deadline made by strangers?"
No, I'm not. Not anymore.
Art is my craft and it's my passion, it's not some mindless product I can just make and throw out. I like taking my time, I like using models, and I like 3d modeling for it. I like it when doing art is fun. It's still my job of course it is, but to get better products you need more time. I feel like sometimes I am wrongfully put on this step of expectation to be creating at hyper speed. Because regardless of anyone, people who create fast are more likely to experience HARSH burnout and I want to avoid that as much as possible.
I'm tired of apologizing for taking my time, I'm tired of apologizing for wanting to enjoy my craft and I'm tired of apologizing for being one person who has to juggle multiple platforms at once just to get by.
So from here on out I'm going to do this at my own pace so that I can create art without hurting myself physically. I don't ever want you guys here or on Twitter to think that I am abandoning anyone for taking my time, that's not the case.
But if people are going to give ME money to see me create stuff I want to make sure it's worth every dollar you give me, because as a creative if you are willing to support me just to see my all, I will give you my all. That is my mission for the last few days of 2023 through 2024. I want to make work that will make me proud and that will make all of you proud. So please understand when I say, I promise you I am doing my best, it just takes time for me. But I promise you will see my all.πβ¨

Do not worry, I am still going to try my best to stay as steady as possible but the truth is that some people kinda expect me to post as fast as their horny drive but I can't really do that lol π€·π

I'd rather you focus on quality over quantity, it's better for your body of work and better for the product in the long term. You are correct, in the end there's no sense in pushing yourself into empty burn out as many of your peers have. Just do your best

You seemed pretty decently active to me, I don't know if people expect you to be pumping out artwork every single day but to me, it seemed like a good pace. Love your art, continue in whatever way is best for you.

Great selections all across, I'm actually excited for each and every one! Especially Lethal Company, I'm so interested in seeing how you'll interpret such monstruous designs and make them your own πΎ I'm glad you're taking a stand and prioritizing your wellbeing over meeting an unreasonable standard, it would benefit no one for you to get hurt or burnout. Your passion comes across perfectly through your artwork, and I would always pick quality over quantity so take all the time you need!

May your strength shine through the heavens and the screens of the ignorant.
