5. Paint up my own SOB army
6. Get at least two minis per month sold through Ebay
an update:
1. The painting group is still going pretty well. It seems to be a steady group. Since that was one of my goals, things are going there pretty much the way I wanted them to.
2. Way to early to tell on this one, though I know I\'ve got at least one person who will go with me.
3. Ditto #2
4, 5 & 6 seem to be almost contradictory. I can either paint for commissions or I can paint for ebay; it\'s difficult to do both steadily AND get any painting done for myself. I\'ve got a couple of minis that I could sell almost done, I\'ve completed several commissions, and my Sisters are coming along nicely.
That, and the commission work in my area is extremely low paid. Commissions have the advantage that I don\'t have to pay for the mini and I know how much I\'ll be paid in advance. But I question if it is worth it to take time away from higher-paying ebay sales to do commission work.
