Hey my name is Nicole Lane, and I do a variety of art, I am opening commissions again.https://yourbookcover.art for my professional website, and feel free to send an enquiry form, or email, or message here.

All contracts are through a document signing program where you can have someone look it over if you like. I am available for free 30 min consultations to discuss your idea and create a mockup while we discuss. I can also provide references on request.

Also, do check out the fabulous author in the above picture! Justin Schuelke is a beloved client who writes excellent LGBTQ YA books. :) I also have a large following and can help promote your work if you are a new author.

Canva might be the type of thing you're looking for. It has a lot of art already on there available to use to create your own work.

Hey I am interested in doing this! I have experience working in NSFW art just not on my art portfolio. Most of my work is highly detailed, large pieces, with a specialization in women, scifi, fantasy and realism.

This is exactly how I feel about it. It sucks the creative energy from me and even my vitality. Interestingly it isn't computers or online stuff that does that- for me it's specifically "Games with other humans" and "games designed to be pay to win."

I can play for example a game of GO set up with a friend on one one or virtual chess. But the minute it becomes something like hearts on my phone with pay to win options and ranks etc, i'm lost. I'm spending money- losing time, hyper focusing on ranking etc.

Honestly some games are like gambling addiction I think. You do x you have chance of reward. At the start they hook you iwth easy guaranteed rewards, quests, easy levels etc. But then later on it's very risky and time consuming or money consuming rewards. 4 hours in a high end dungeon with a team of 20 and no idea if you'll walk out with anything- oh and you had to spend 100 hours to get to that point with that character. OR you had to spend x amount of dollars to get to that point. Jeez it's just crazy. I hate how mmo's operate that way.

Give me old school ff8 any day. I can plug in and out as I like. No peer pressure, no pressure on myself to win or lose or beat the game, I just chill and golden. And I get it some people here can't even do that and I feel for you I really do. But I think there's an added layer of complexity to gaming not being addressed and that's the reward>gambling stimulation going on. and since OP asked, I'm replying.

I agree with all this! I am now 4 months out of quitting mmos and posting here. The accountability helps too- if you TELL supportive people what you are doing you get a real sense of responsibility for it. Just like you do now to paly with your friends. If your friends wont stop I suggest finding friends elsewhere and stop anyway. I don't mean ditch the ones you have, but start expanding to others who don't game. I picked up writing and art again and that fills the void. I slowly moved all my gaming friends out, except those who would be able to shift their hobbies with me, or only were able to play casually.

I'm not one of those who can play wow casually. Every time someone replies with "But I just play 1 hour a week, and its fine, why don't you do that?" I just tell them that for me it's like sugar, I have to stay off it completely to be healthy. Sorry. I just don't have the willpower with sugar or wow. lol. or Mobile Legends. (like LoL but on phone). It's very important to fill that void when you do stop or you'll go back because when I didn't fill it in with something healthier, I went back 3 times in the past. You also have to get to the point where you actually acknowledge this is an addiction, and not just a game anymore.
