Financial panic : reaching a breaking point.
7 years ago
okay... so lately I haven't really been talking about how things have been for me financially, mainly because I felt that for the most part we had things under control.
that changed today. my mothers car got repossessed. and we need almost $700 to get it back. but if we don't get that money this friday then the price will steadily increase. at the same time we had to make a promissory note for my apartment, and this week we need to put in around $600 for the rent.
if we don't pay the rent then we are going to get kicked out. but If we don't get the car back then it's going to interfere with our ability to work and get money anyways. time is ticking and I need to do something but I just don't know what.
I've made mentions of trying to do commissions again but honestly. it's just inefficient. it takes a lot of time to do a piece between all the revisions I have to make during the process, and with the need to wait for payment, and the payout in the end is barely worth it. 10-20 dollars for an image that took me 3-4 hours.
I've been looking into other ways to generate an income through art. thought about maybe artpacks or sketch streams to capitalized on the fact I'm better at quick illustrations than large scale pieces. but at the moment I'm too frazzled to really be able to get into an artistic mindset.
my very way of life is at stake and I'm not sure what can be done about it. I'm trying to figure something out...
