Life's been..... pretty kind lately...?
Definitely having my 'up' moment for now.
So i took the job to teach local kids to draw, started out doing commissions, taking jobs from various sources, and preparing some artprints to sale at some conventions.
Having a monthly fixed income is pleasing, i can get better art tools, i can feed my family with some proper food, more budget for everything!
I even have enough to spend on those coffee shops, nice clothes and luxury!
But i can't shake this.......restlessness?
Will this last?
Will the kids i'm teaching right now have the same learning passion in the days to come? Will the job keep on coming? Hell, will people even buy my prints at the convention?
Living as an independent artist, with no guarantee for income, can be daunting most of the time. Especially if you have people to take care of.
I can't help to feel that most things won't last.
I've my share of failures, but now i can't afford to fail. Because failure cost me many things.
Still young but, it won't be forever.
Should this trade of mine fails, should people no longer have needs of my skills.
What will i do?
....i need a backup plan, a contigency.
Which i have none at the moment.
And there's future concerns.
I can get by the days with minimum to no money at all (althought it's unpleasant)
But that is not the case with my family.
I need resources, insurance,
Damnit i've always been the carefree guy.
But with my family at stake, it's worrying and making anxious.

Priviledges
Over the last few months, i have been attending to a digital painting course. I thought that it would help me survive in the illustration business, looking at things went on being digital right now.
So i attended the class, made some new friends, advertising myself as the newcomer in the business. I thought this would be easy, seeing i had this watercolor thing going on, and my background as an art school graduate.
I was wrong.
My peers, they might not come from art related background, they might not had the tools i had, has some of the most fierce fighting spirit i ever saw. They keep on struggling and keep on learning despite the setback
It's been a while, huh?
Right, long time no see Deviantart.
I've been busy, had a job few weeks back, got myself involved on a project right now (more on that later)
And there's this new video game thingy.
But mostly it's my job that is taking much of my time.
A certain Ad Agency commisioned me for a few story board projects, some commisions here and there. At least got enough dough to pay the bills for a while, haha!
A certain video game happened to find it self stumble upon my collection, Thank you friend for giving me a copy of Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain for me. It's time consuming. It's magic.
A certain meet up with old college friend ended up in
Storybook Commision..?
A few days back, i got a commission for a children storybook.
They wanted a storybook about their family having a trip in the mountains. They provide the story, and asked me to visualize it.
Pretty simple stuff.
But then, they asked me if i could exclude the character's faces.
Meaning, they don't want me to draw face on the characters.
Just see for yourself :
It's a pretty sweet story, if you ask me.
I thought it would be a creepy storybook about people having no face and having fun terrorizing innocent childrens.
But i kinda get that blank feeling, the kind when you immerse yourself as a part of the story.
The blank face really help
