Based On A True Story

Hey artists of Tumblr! I’ve got a question!

I have a friend just starting out on Twitch and asking for a banner commission. He is also asking if I’d be willing to stay on as his art designer. I’m very pumped to do this, but I don’t know how much to be charging for commissions since I’m just starting out on commissions.

My husband recommended at least $15/hr, but I want to make sure I know how to set prices. My friend is offering 2k total or 10% from each stream whichever comes first. Does this sound reasonable? My husband is afraid I’m going to get ripped off since I’m just starting out.

So those who do commissions for art, what’s a reasonable price per hour for art? Or a base price you give people?

Today, my therapist was talking about how the smallest bits of self-care — even making yourself a mug of warm tea — are a way of recognizing your own worth, and how meaningful they are when you really dislike yourself. “After all,” she said, “I don’t know about you, but I don’t often make tea for people I hate.”

And that really hit me, especially because I’m an acts-of-service kind of person and tea is one of my go-to ways to show people that I’m thinking about them, care about them, and hope their day could be a little better. So maybe when I make tea for myself, I’m saying that to myself, too, that I’m thinking of my own needs, caring for myself, and trying to make my day a little better. 

And that’s really important to me because a lot of days I struggle to do basic things to keep myself going and just feel like I’m self-destructive, only ever making things worse… but most days I still manage to make myself a mug of tea or two. And it’s good to know that that matters. 

its fun to enjoy things

Roger save me

alright here's today's controversial post. a good amount of you on here will be like "english was my favorite subject 😍😍😍" and then reblog posts like "here is why sex scenes CAN'T have symbolism" and "stop consuming media with toxic characters" like okay so what were you doing in your english classes then. cause it apparently wasn't learning or analyzing. i'm pretty sure it was doodling pictures of eyes.

All the outfits of Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way

Somehow I survived doing this.I present to you a low quality fanart of the ultimate Mary Sue queen. If you haven’t read My Immortal Fanfic you can bleach your eyes here: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5835837/1/My-Immortal-The-Return

Notes: If is a different day, I opted to only draw what Tara described of the outfit, if she didn’t mention her make-up or shoes I believe Ebony didn’t wear any.

Unless the fic says explicitly that it’s a different day I tried to keep some of the aspects of the last outfit that Tara didn’t change or didn’t mention. (Like her make-up or shoes).

The little icons that appear in like three of the outfits are the earrings she was wearing that chapter.

Doing this was beyond confusing but fun.

My version of Marilyn Monroe. I'm planning on selling t-shirts soon with different designs. Let me know if you're interested in this design or others! (at Tegucigalpa, Honduras)
