Temporary Changes in: How I Work / Commissions
9 years ago
So...
For some reason unbeknownst to me I’ve been struggling WAAAY more than I’m comfortable with with my artwork and with completing pieces in a fairly timed manner. I know you guys are so awesome and say you dont mind the waits but, I feel like I've been incredibly unfair to my commissioners making them wait extended periods of time.... So I feel as though it would be hugely beneficial to me to make some temporary changes in hopes of getting back in control.
So for an undefined, but definitely temporary period of time I will be doing the following:
- No longer accepting general digital commissions
- Cutting down my digital ref sheet queue from 3 at a time to 1 at a time.
- Will be mainly focusing on and offering commissions in traditional mediums
- Doing a hell of a lot more personal work. Actually start moving on projects and ideas I’ve more or less had to abandon for.... whatever reason.
I will still be accepting commissions during this period, it will just be less common and I’ll be keeping my workload much smaller. The types of commissions that are going to be available for the time will be mainly:
- Traditional Sketches and Shaded Sketches
- Button Commissions
- Furvilla Painties, annndd
- Digital Reference Sheets
I am also very interested in potentially adding new and "experimental" traditional commission types, such as paint or chalk commissions. ...My Nana has passed away very recently and as she and I were the only people in my family that were artists, I've more or less been allowed to have an amount of her art supplies, many of which are mediums I haven't touched in a long loonngg time... I plan on putting them too good use and making some cool stuff with them to share with you all ;)
- - - - -Now to get away from the bad news, ill throw on top some good news for you guys as well, a little list of personal stuff I plan on working on and hopefully you will start seeing a lot of in my gallery! This will included I hope all of the following to some capacity...
- General character art
- Graphic Novel concept art
-
- Short character comics, like one offs and stuff!
- Sketch animations
-
- My damn graphic novel. Don’t be surprised I start posting a lot of wips for this.
Soooo uh, yeah.
Hopefully I can get the hang of this again. Commissions will still be announced via journal and I will be absolutely sure to make another journal when I'm interested in taking on more digital commissions! (At which point I plan to have much better examples, as well as painted commission options ;3)
Oh, and just for clarification: This will obviously in no way affect current commissions. All current work will still be completed as normal regardless of this announcement.
Thanks for reading!

My greatest condolences for your loss. This is surely a difficult time.
Always happy to hear about you making changes you're happy about! Really excited to see what comes next from you; you're one of the most talented artists I know!
