Okay let me explain because I learned quite a bit here. I have this problem when things are slow in commissions, I tend to pick up a new hobby or try to do something new. But the thing of it is, when this happens, it's done under the guise of "how can I make more money?" and often times than not, I drop it like a hot potato and I end up doing nothing with this new hobby or skill.
So why am I bringing this up? Well, because for years I NEVER understood why I get so impatient and frustrated whenever things are slow with commissions or just when I don't get any revenue with my art and streams in general. To distract myself from my impatience, I tend to go out of my way to do something new to try to make a quick buck but I end up getting more then what I need and never use it. I just feel utterly terrible that I never caught this and I feel so ashamed for letting money be the thing that drives me up the wall to the point where I waste my time and resources on anything else besides the MAIN OBJECTIVE. The main objective being my comic, commissions, and my art. All because I never had the patience to let things grow overtime. This was always a problem for me.
This was very insightful tho because I am glad i was able to pinpoint the actual problem. However, I'm not exactly sure what to do about it. All I know is that next time I wanna get into something new for money reasons or to make a quick buck, it'll be a waste of time. Because I keep forgetting that where I shine the most, is my artwork alone. So now I need to try to figure out how to remedy this impatience. The next time I get into something new like that I want to do it out of pure joy.
Aside from this, I am still proud of the key chains I made that are on my Etsy. I am still going to sell those if people want them but I won't be selling anything else anytime soon.
