When we get to Friday

I know a few of you have expressed concerns about my queue leading up to July opening and probably with good reason. I would like to run by you all the process I have in mind for tackling those commissions and those I take over July.
I've reviewed the types of commissions I have to do in that queue and if I work solidly it should only be 1 month's worth of commissions (Most are head shots and chibis from FurDU). However I am moving house next week so let's make that 1 1/2. This puts us at about mid August before I can begin July commissions. That said, I tend to sketch about 10 commissions at a time and then complete those one by one so I may get sketches out earlier than that. From there on, depending on how many commissions I get in July, I'll be working on a 5/2 method (something I came up with, dunno how original it is though). Basically for every 5 commissions I complete I will take on another 2. This way I have a steady cash flow leading into the end of the year and work is still getting done. Anyone who has a problem with me adding to that queue there's a simple solution, don't commission me until it's smaller. Overall you're better off getting on the queue sooner than waiting for it to shrink.
I've been giving everyone who tags onto the end of my current queue 2 - 3 months estimates because I don't want to overdo it, however, even if my queue triples, depending on what's there I don't see myself being put out for longer than 3 months, and so long as you guys know this, there should be no issue with wait time. Many of us have waited much longer for commissions and I plan to update you all as regularly as I do anyway.
All I ask from you, my fantastic watchers, is patience and understanding. Please know exactly how many people are ahead of you when you commission me in July so that I don't have to explain it to you weeks later if you get upset. Hopefully next year I'll be more organised leading up to FurDU so I don't fall into the same trap.
