Hi Taron
my nane is Lunalight 28 and i am from Germany like you too, a friend of me show me your project and i found here.Iam a hobby digital and semi Manga/realistic and traditionally Artist.I like to work on Photoshop,Paint Tool SAI and other difrent Painting Tools.Iam a hobby artist with great ambition to become a a foot for freelance ,into the door the businesses.
Long term story, i was a artist my whole life and i was never thinking about any different, it feels right, but after the school i become mentally very sick for 8 Years, very less money, no job no vacations or many stuff i can do outside of my room.After a long time a earned my Graphire4 ,after 5 Years i improved so much an earned a INtous 4 L its my great treasure.( if you have very less money you have to spare it for a lone time).It was an improvement of 100% my works become more and more deeper of knowledge,lighting ,colours etc.... but like many artists lack of ideas,technique or influenced by my emotions/family/ rl and this makes me fall behind ,not able to paint for week or months.I learned all this stuff by myself,never taking classes or something.( i had to re-learn many stuff after i wasn't able to draw any more, my mind was dumb)
Sadly i never made it into a creative businesses,sometimes i made small works for friends and private persons for a fix budged, but its more a pocket money to spend it for some useful stuff ( pens, paints or food for my animals).
Still working to become better at painting digital and my health to recover.My life has become very complicated and i don't know what my future brings.
Maybe you like my stuff.
