Description
Nadia is one of the 2018's "University Queen" candidate, she got scouted by the Head of Photography Club and she's kinda embarrassed but also happy, she thinks that: "Oh wow, someone didn't mind a "smelly" girl like me?" (If you didn't know, Nadia sweats really easily so that's why she wears revealing clothes to reduce her sweats, but interestingly, nobody hates her body odor and boys actually attracted to her body odor, even some other girls too, some people said that her body odor somehow smells a little bit sweet, like a fruit scent but realistically it's still a sweat, but she didn't realized it.)
So she's somehow in the University Queen lineup and will compete with other 9 competitor, she's the only freshman that got scouted, the voting will take place during November until after New Year using Google form, is she going to win?
-------------------------------------

This is my practice result, it's still not a time friendly techniques but i'm kinda satisfied with this one, so expect me to do same with future commissions.

After some practices, a long deep meditation, travelling and motorcycle touring that i did on the weekend, i found my resolve (Kinda :V )
I just realized that i was just lazy and not motivated enough and eventually, i'm not grateful enough.
When i was going home from the touring i saw the usual old man selling napkins/cloth/rug and tissues on the sidewalk, i do almost see him everyday from i was in Elementary School until my final College days, it's just i rarely see him this year because i was already graduated from college and the road that i took nowadays is different.
This'll probably a boring story for you guys, so just skip it hahaha.
The thing is, i only imagined that "IF this old man can draw just like me, i'm sure he'll be determined and productive, unlike me." so because of that... i do consider myself as a ungrateful person, not just the old man, i was imagining that out there, probably other people wishes to be like me or other artist, drawing in the front of the computer and still get paid.
The old man's napkins/cloth/rug is only $1 each, while i could make a fortune with just one drawing, that alone makes me think really hard and i almost cry that people are struggling out there.
So yeah, i learned my lesson again, but i do think that some artist could get a slump or something, but by far this one is my worst slump.

And also, i got carried away again by writing personal problems on social media, so i'll try to be more careful again.

For next year, i will start over, i will take off some of the commissions that i consider hard to do, because i need to start from the bottom again, as for December i'll try to finish what i can finish, if in January i didn't finish what I CAN finish, i'll be make sure to contact the client about it to confirm that i can make it. (Don't worry, the price will stays the same)
(If in January i didn't contact you, it means i took off your commissions from my list, i'm sorry, i can't bear myself to apologize personally because i'm ashamed because i'm so unprofessional.)

Next year commissions will be something like:

1. Significant Price Increase
2. Different workflow for first time customer (Old and returning customer stays the same)
3. A couple of commission type: Photo Study, Regular Commission and Special Events Commissions.
4. An even more picky and strict "What i can draw" and "What i can't draw" (But as the month goes and if the commission batches goes well, i will gradually accept more and more types of drawing)
5. Slots are per-month and the number is still random.
6. I still prefer something without Deadlines, but clients can give "Imaginary" deadlines to make me haul-ass.

Probably people will freak out about the price, BUT:

1. Discount for something that i consider easy to do.
2. Discount for Patreon supporter.
3. Discount if your character has a short hair.
4. FULL MONEY REFUND if someday a client is pissed off at me and demands a refund. (Like, if i took too much time and i already received the money, but i do feel anxious because i don't know how to refund money from Paypal :V :V :V)

Sorry for my complicated stuff, but i need to be honest about it and it's for the best, for us.
I'll try to manage things properly next year, thank you DA!

P.S: I made so much statement about my commission progress not because i have trouble with some client, nobody has ever scold me but THAT'S the thing that scared me, no client has ever send me a "Do you really want to do the comms or not?" message, so please, next year if i'm being tardy again, just scold me.
