CRIPPLED BY MONEY AND MENTAL HEALTH!

So obviously I have been TERRIBLE at posting this month, and that is inexcusable really. But the reasons, inconsequential as they are, are these…
Doing all the Homoween art in October, while very fulfilling artistically, means I don’t have time to do any actual paid work, and sadly I don’t have enough Patrons yet to fully support me financially, so doing all that unpaid work for 31 days used up every penny I had, and left me £1000 in debt to the bank, so I’ve had to do as much as I could this month to try to make back some money…
BUT…
I’ve also been crippled by self doubt. I’ve had a couple of commissions where I could tell they weren’t all the client had hoped for, even though I thought they were good, and it has really made me question my judgement. That has really made it difficult for me to feel like posting much of my art, because I can’t tell if it’s just garbage. It’s put me into a pretty grim phase of my ongoing depression, if I’m honest!
But I’m trying to will myself to be better, I promise!
I have been thinking about you though, and I’ve done some art just for here, that I couldn’t possibly put in front of the prudish Instagram crowd… I’ll be posting some of that now, to try and at least get some art posted in November!
I’d quite like to do some Christmassy themed Patreon art… you got any suggestions what I could think about for that?
I love you, by the way.
