Thinking about commissions... Again.

Journal Entry: Sun Oct 17, 2010, 6:01 AM

Aske me anything - Feel free to do so :) It's fun.

First of all - I'd love to thank those who commented my last journal :)

I put my Wii and games on auctions.

I really want to open [digital only] commissions, seriously. I know most of You are now like "oh no, not this shit again".
Since I can't find any art related job [everyone's looking for web designers with good knowledge of coding/Flash, which I don't know so well. Besides the fact I just don't like the way site's are designed nowadays, but it's just me], and would just help me get money for own needs.

But I'm not so optimistic, since stuff I'm drawing isn't something people just "hang up on their walls".

Which also makes me trouble to set prices. Like - people are having "chibi commissions" or different prices for one character without background, different prices with background/with additional character - I've never been doing things like this, so I'm somehow limited. But, I hope I can manage it. Somehow.

Firts of all, I have to draw some examples of such works [chibi, etc.] for people. But I have to manage few other things first, before I'll be able to draw anything x_x I've been drawing such stuff before I joined dA, so I don't think it will be so huge problem for me to do it again.

Well I'm sorry I couldn't respond to your last journal hun, I've been very busy as of late and barely get much computer time, I also hope you find a job in your desired field, I could imagine it's not easy. So I wish you best of luck in that regards.

That's ok! I know You care :)
Unfortunately, I'm sucking at replying comments.
It's very hard to get job here, competition is enormous [and I've never been good at competitions]. Those who once got job, won't let it go, and publishers don't have additional vacancies.
Well, at last I decided to open commissions, but since I'm pessimist...

May I suggest perhaps any job you think you can manage just to have an income and once you have finished university, look outside of Poland for a desired position in your chosen field. For example come to Australia :D we have plenty of work available!

The problem is, right now I'm having classes every second weekend for next year - so right now I'm spending most of the time at home and I'm already getting really mad because I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING to feel better. It really pisses me off.
I can't just sit with knowledge it's my free time - I need some schelude to have motivation to draw or do anything else.
I'm giving myself time 'till end of semester and I'm going to work at mcdonalds, some market or another place where I don't belong and will suck at.
Mostly because I'm getting really nervous when it comes to money - fact of having money or anything with written value on it, in my hands makes me have like two 1 rolls on d20, if You got what I mean. Anyway, I'm just dumb when it comes to math, and probability I'll get any job is the biggest in local mcdonalds restaurant...

Don't get me wrong - leaving Poland would be the very last thing I'd do to find job. I don't know, I even hate concept of leaving home just because of job. Besides the fact I'd never manage to get there - I'm affraid to death of flying - I'll never get on board, at last without having panic attack somewhere while getting in :D

For sure I'll keep looking for something. Right now [for over year] I'm doing satiric pictures for local newspaper, but that's something I even can't count as my incomes...

I really hope someone will commission me here... [no, but please, don't take it as I'm asking You to, or something. I'm just really worried and I'm thinking a lot about it]

Well, in the end it is your decision, when it comes to it. However for me travelling was one of the best things I ever did. For work I only referred to looking elsewhere in other countries mainly for the dream job or career, not for any basic 'I can pick up anywhere' jobs. :)

The main thing is you need to work bloody hard to succeed in life you just need to keep positive, everything will work out in the end. :)

Oh I did get the Dice Reference :) about the Commissions, I'll think about it, I'm in Poland for a few weeks early next year, who knows.

Please report back on that concert! I'm going to see them live in December. I know some bands aren't very good in concert. I hope they put on a good show!
