SOTW #1: Real People

[A_man13]

I'm really thinking about closing my shops for a bit. I'm getting new requests by the barrelfull here, at All is brawl I have about 10-15, and a bunch of people are begging me to do sigs for them at a 3rd.

 

[Marthmaster92]

Hmm, haven't seen marthmaster in a WHILE

Yeah, been busy lately.

 

[A_man13]

Didn't you get badly hurt and everyone was looking for you to team up with?

 

[Marthmaster92]

Yep. Was hospitalized. Diabetes is a pain.


But yeah, I was just wondering if it's possible for me to fly this solo.

[Black Waltz]

[Marthmaster92]

Well, when in doubt, listen to some music or watch a good movie.

 

[A_man13]

It's not that my sigs aren't improving or they turn out bad (heck people have been saying they've turned out better than usual, especially that I've started using PS), I'm just confused on what to do with requests and, most importantly, the shop. Sig work aint a hobby any more; with all the requests I'm getting, it's becoming a job.

*laughs*


That's why I closed down my shop(s). It got the point where I was getting overwhelmed with requests, and I was too restricted with what to do, so it was no longer any fun, it became a "job", almost a chore.

 

[A_man13]

I like the shop and all, but I'm getting requests when I'm closed and I already have people in line for my next opening. And that's not counting how bad I got mauled at All is Brawl and another forum for sigs. Add in the slump and a lack of time and you get a big mess.

 

[Roller]

so...

what is next weeks topic???

Final Fantasy? *crosses fingers and says prayers*

 

[Black Waltz]

hey MM, do you know if thegfxedge.com has any tuts/resources sections? i cant seem to find any...

 

[Majin Lee]

id love for people to request from me a lot ^^. . self-promotion ftw

 

[Black Waltz]

i agree, just close your shop,
even just for a while

some of my best stuff has come after taking a break for a while

 

[Grandeza]

Are we aloud you use tuts for our entries? I can't wait for next weeks topic.

 

[plural]

I don't see why not...

just don't make it look too much like it I guess

That, and the fact that the rule would be nearly impossible to enforce with all the tutorials flying around on the internets.

 

[Black Waltz]

I just don't want someone's entry to look the exactly the same as a tutorial result. but feel free to using tuts for inspiration and technique.

 

[Tangy]

Hosting your own SOWT? Good luck with it. I would join, but I don't have photoshop or any artistic abilities. xD

 

[lordunicorn3]
