Artists repeat after me: It's okay to repost your art It's okay to want people to see your art It's okay to want attention and success But I must not forget that everyone is in the same boat, we are all struggling and must help each other out

it's been so hard to market myself. the void is loud, and deep, and cavernous. i used to have a community clamoring for my originals and jokingly fighting over them. now im lucky if i sell 10. and i know that it's tough financially right now but man, as a small business its just... so dang hard...

thrilled to share this piece i made under the incredible guidance of @paulscottcanavan.com ! i'm still in awe of all i learned and gained from taking this 8 week mentorship, and while i know i still have loads to learn - i'm really proud of this final result!! #fantasyart #originalart #dnd
