I'm Alive!!

Oh yes, I am still very much alive. Well at least I hope I am. Otherwise I'm sure thing are still going on fine without me. I've been so busy with my new Job that its very much a big part of my life at the moment. I'm working to help pay back my parents. And they are being supportive at the moment. I can't wait till I can fully repay them. But I still have to see if I am able to get more contracted hours at work first before I can be really happy. As 14 hours a week just isn't going to help much. Might pay back the mortgage, but that isn't including all the bills I am going to have to pay. But I am really enjoying myself. So I really can't complain. Everyone is so nice to not only the customers but other partners (its a working partnership company ^__^ ). So thats probably why everyone gets on and tries to do the work to the best of their abilities. Although there is some who still need to get used to things. But it will be easier come January, when we don't have to worry about the Christmas rush. oooooohhhhhhhhhh I got my first real Commission!! I'm so excited but nervous at the same time. I have a fellow partner at work who has giving me some photo's which he would like to be digitally re-do for him. He has very generously given me £30 to draw the image and is willing to pay for a photo frame on top of that too. OMG! I'm so nervous about doing it really well so he doesn't regret paying me to do it for him :XD: I really hope it doesn't result in a complete and utter disaster! I will be trying my best, I just hope I don't over do it! Its strange actually being paid for some thing that I wouldn't normally get someone to pay me to do. On here, DA, I'm used to just getting requests and not being paid to do it. I guess it really does make a bigger impact on how you go about things. I've started the piece but thats only the basic skin layer first. But I hope I can complete it before Christmas. Get the frame. And print it off at such a good quality that its worth £30. Maybe its just being really nervous about doing this project... My colleague did say, that I could make a living out of doing it. But being an artist, I am my worst critic and I don't think I'm at such a level where my work is worthy to be paid for. But I can't say that to a customer. I don't want them to lack faith in me. Thats just bad business XD Otherwise, sorry to those who usually read my KHR chapter journal entries, I have been reading but I'm working so much (did 45 hours at work last week :XD:) that I don't even have enough to catch up with the anime and manga that I'm following. I feel so behind on everything. I don't really know what to do with my spare time that I do have.
