Thank you for the insight, it's oddly reassuring, though I wish you also had any luck π
The algo and userbase absolutely contribute! Just odd how eventually posts that flop over there would net me at least one stray, hah
Maybe it's a more desired style, luck, overall popularity? Who knows lol...

That's a really good point too, I've noticed it as well. I did happen to come into the hustle at the absolute most inconvenient time, considering the state of the market and influx of gen a/i!

It's really strange how it is friendlier here, but I still see the vaaast majority of my requests coming through Twitter, with far less reach and interaction. It's odd and frustrating!
I'm sorry it's hitting you particularly hard this time, and I hope it gets better soon, too!

That's totally fair, I think they probably deserve to be at that price (or more if we're honest), but some money is better than none, I suppose?
Hope it turns around for all of us soon!

That's really rough, yeah! Since I began offering sketches a couple weeks ago, I've been getting them almost exclusively... assuming because of price, but I can't realistically lower my others and still pay bills lol
And your sketches are SUPER nice and clean, I'm shocked honestly ?

Putting yourself out there/ advertising is rough, I don't blame you ;v;
And yes, I feel it's a nice little hint people can see every time you post without having to mention it :>

You're all completely amazing and I can't be more appreciative of everyone sharing my work around recently!! Seriously, thank you so much.
I'll switch my handle to say comms are open and hope if someone happens by it and wants art done, they'll consider π

I thought about doing some slight Sadposting about how slow commission work is right now, but scrolled my feed to see about five other mutuals sharing the same issue, so...
Relieved somewhat to know it's not just me, but damn, it really sucks for artists right now, huh :,<
