Interesting, what particularly do you learn from this post? 😂

excellent work!! :)

Thanks!

There are times when I am thankful that I didn’t end up pursuing a full time career in art. Reading about crazy deadlines like this is one of those times. I’m glad you were able to give the client what they wanted within such a tight deadline. Great work!

Thanks a lot! Yes, there are some benefits on full time work. But fortunately for me freelancing is much better. E.g. this project gave me a chance to do nothing for the whole year if I want. So it was worth it.

I had an experience working at office as a graphic designer and illustrator for two years. Salary was too low. Maybe because I worked in a small Far Eastern city Khabarovsk. I don't know...

As far as office work in graphic design goes, it's not much better here in the US. The market is saturated with Graphic Designers, many of which are so eager to get into the field that they'll undercut themselves during salary negotiations. It ends up dragging the whole market value down.

So, a lot of my fellow college classmates have found full-time work in the field, but, from what I have gathered, are not making enough to really live comfortably or really start paying off their loans. I'd say about 1/10 that find full-time work in design are making a good wage.

Now that you mention that this assignment made you enough income to have the option of taking a lot of time off, the intense deadline doesn't seem so bad :). The small number of freelance gigs I did felt like pulling teeth to get paid, and I always managed to undervalue the work :(.

Regardless, I'm always happy to see other illustrators out there making it the world. Thanks again for sharing all you work and the process/story behind each piece.

Oh yeah, I was not thinking about the prices for basic living needs in US comparing to Far Eastern villages in Russia so I guess even if the salaries might be much higher in your country then anyway it may be not enough for living there...

Thanks a lot for your sharing, this is really interesting!

The usual great stuff !! :-)
I wish you would join my new contest, i would love to see YOUR cat in hat! It would rock on Steemit Fil !! :-D

Thank you, Agnes! I would be glad to, but I have almost no time for the contests anymore...

:-(

Gratz on this clear success, keeping tight with deadline and getting these great works.. They are lucky to work with you.
As a smallest Turkish individual i'm gonna order an avatar when you have time :))

Thank you :) I may find some time in the end of Januray for the avatar. If you'll find a budget for that :)

hodling on to that ;)

Wow, what a stressful process, but you handled it perfectly! Sometimes the clients don't understand the value of time. Looks great though! Like always... :) Helen

Thanks a lot, Helen. Well, in this case I suppose that customer overvalued the time :)

Thank you :)

Just discovered your artworks my man! Such an original style I must say!

I was also thinking that we should bring Steemit artists together and stick as a group. Maybe we can do some Discord chat dedicated to it!

If you want, drop me a message! My nic is Anritco (Nic Morales)#7809

Hey Nic! I've just registered there because these days few people mentioned Discord as an app popular on Steemit. Actually I've never heard about it before and it looks a bit complicated for me now. Tried to add you there and hope it was successful :P

By the way in my other post guys invited me to some sort of good quality art discord chat channel, haha.

I prefer Telegram but looks like it is not popular here...
