To preface this for the upcoming posts:
Last month was NOT GOOD with commissions, and that's why I haven't been posting as much, also not good was that my computer had to be taken apart for a while because the fan bearings gave out, putting it in danger internally.

I needed Money for RENT as I still do not have a job. Early last month I thought "How much would opening a bunch of sketch slots give me right now? It's not like my old schedule of 2 sketches and 1 full a day I did for the move drive but I wanna know!"
And for those 4 commissions I did, it was like, 80 bucks. $25 Comms, Paypal ate like ~$5 from them each and after all that hard work, it would take doing 5 sketch comms a day to meet just $100. My rent is ~$530 a month (to cover my side of the rent at least). Which means I would need to take 25 sketch commissions (50 sketches) just to be UNDER my rent. NOT GOOD. But as I said, I'd reopen them once I got a steady paying job that CAN cover for my Rent instead of constantly relying on Commission Money to pay the bills.
Alot of you can relate to this, and to those who are not "freelance artists", this is the struggle! I still don't want to make my sketches more expensive, they used to be 20 for 2, not it's 25 for 2. But if it gets worse, I may need to go up again (a max of 40 for 2).

Please understand as I post these 8 images, Sketches as of writing this are not open, I just want a job man... They're even building a strip mall like, next to my house I want them to start putting shit in, start hiring! I NEED A JOB! I need money for rent and desk and computer parts to make computer and WAAAGH
