For of his band of Conan-inspired barbarians.This is the last commission I'm taking from people, except for friends, pretty much indefinitely. In the beginning I was all for doing these for people, and it made me pretty good money. Plus it made people happy, which made me happy. Sadly, over the years that drive severely diminished and I started taking way longer to finish a commission than was necessary, causing me to feel guilty and less motivated to work. It kinda created a vicious cycle and I just couldn't feel passionate about drawing what other people wanted and it felt like a weight on my shoulders. I'm taking it as a sign that I should move on and focus on other things. I had a good run with this little business, and I can't thank my clients enough for their patronage over the years, especially in times when I really needed it. But it's time I gave these a rest so I can focus more on the artwork I want to create and be proud of.
