[Lee Yiankun]

I've kept up practice, looking for faults & keeping my options open.
Not really settling down on a "Style", before I'm really certain of my fundamentals. (I fear stagnation more than anything. Most of my collegues are semi-frozen in their ways right now, and haven't improve in years.)

The probelm is that I must make a living, and thus having been doing freelancing jobs over the past year.

Since most of my commissions are Trading cards, it wasn't much problem then. Then I had to go and moved up to accepting novel illustrations.


The 6 month limit that I was given is quite a long length of time, and now that I'm 3 months knee deep in, I'm facing another style change. (there were 3 in the past 2 years. I was very much a noob back then.)

A style change that comes with a set of outlook/skills, thus making my current work a living hell.

So my Question (and plea for advice) to you professionals out there, is that
- How can you cope with this?
- Is there a way to avoid this?

My Client has already paid me upfront in full, so I really need to get this thing finish.

PS, I'm mostly self taught. I did ditch colledge to persue digital art, so I can say that my intentions to stay on path is quite strong. Since here in Thailand, there aren't many opportunities for Artist. Especially a digital one.
(Most digital books outthere are on Photoshop - PhotoManip, So you can imagine the outlook the locals here have on digital art.)
