IMPORTANT UPDATE - GOALS, REFUNDS, ETC.
7 years ago
Good afternoon everyone!!
Kind of a big update here! Ive thought about important goals that Id like to take care of. Primarily being that I want to get refunds handled asap.
Ive said this many times and many times its fallen flat. but I really need to get my ass into gear and just get it over with. It stresses me out daily when I think about this huge thing hanging over my head and frankly, its not doing any good for my reputation. But wanting to finally settled things with everyone is the biggest thing that frustrates me. Disappointing all these people in turn disappoints myself. And I just need to stop playing around and get serious.
Ive been working harder and trying to get as much as I can get done every day and I think Im finally understanding my flow and the best way to schedule myself weekly! Which is easing myself internally a little better.
Ive decided Im not taking on any bigger commissions. Mostly limiting myself to smaller things that are around the 30$ range or below. Ill have an example of what these commissions will look like that Ill upload here in a sec!
I will be offering art slaves during this time, on a week to week basis.
I want to get a calendar set up that will have dedicated weeks for this. A whole week will be reserved to work on an art slave package. The weeks that arent dedicated to this will of course be for things I owe currently! Id like to keep art slaves at a minimum if I can.
I dont exactly have a set price for this, its pretty much up to the client to decide! offer a price and we can discuss what youd like in return. Ill offer discounts on things so that youll be getting the greatest bang for your buck.
But besides that, the only commission type Ill be offering from now on will be colorless sketches and quick sketch minis! These are super easy for me to do and I can get them done very quickly, which is preferred for me right now when it comes to handling my schedule and work flow. And this will run on until I get my backlog taken care of.
I have two days dedicated out of the week for these particular commissions so that for the rest of the week I can focus on my backlog.
You can track my progress on my main page with the featured journal. I always make sure to update it weekly to reflect my goals for that particular week. Ill be catching up with using my two trellos as well to match up with my featured journal and to also make it easier for people to see where they are on my list!
But of course, youre more than welcome to note me. I need to really get back on that but usually day to day, I get super hyper-focused on what I need to do. But I want to talk with you all and if you need to talk to me, shoot me a line!
I think Ive pretty much covered what I needed to, so lets get to the next portion. Which is just explaining my goals!
**the smallest portion of my commission funds will be going to my medication, medical bills and paying for my chiropractor visits**
Refunds
I NEED to get these taken care of. Im pretty sure I owe about 2,000$ to various people but that number can change once I message the leftover people I need to get into contact with.
Theyll be the first priority when it comes to my money goals because its very important to me. As money comes in it will go right out to refunds. Ill be saving a small portion to add to my other goals to build up to them.
New Car
My current car is pretty much on its final leg. I need to start making moves to getting a new one, in my own name. I want to aim for a more recent year vehicle so I dont have to worry about money being funneled into fixing my current one. Shes cost too much money in the past couple years and now shes at the point where to fix the problems with her, itd be more cost effective to get a new car because itll be hella expensive. Of course a car is super important and I dont want to end up being a cripple on Deci if my car was to suddenly die.
Moving Funds
Eventually, Ill be moving in with Deci. I dont know an exact date but for the same reason on not wanting my car to suddenly die and me being sol, I dont want him to feel like Im going to be a risk. I want him to feel like Ill be an addition and a help. Not that hell have to work to the bone to take care of the both of us.
2000$ would be a great end goal for this and great starting point for when I do move in. Itll keep the both of us stable if I have a good portion of money raised.
IPAD + Pencil + Clip Studio Paint
This is the lowest priority for me but its still a big deal to me. Sitting at the computer for too long puts me in incredible pain in my right leg. Ive been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and it gets a little hard to handle every day. So when it starts acting up, Id like to be able to move somewhere else and sit in another position but still be able to work.
Id also like to be able to work outside or what have you. I dont want to be anchored to only my computer when I work on things. Itd just be that much easier for me.
I think thats pretty much it. Im sorry for the lengthy word vomit but its been a minute since Ive had a big update!!
Im glad I could take the time to put this together because knowing exactly what I need to do makes it that much clearer for me. And it shows you guys what Im aiming for!
Thank you all for reading if you made it this far!! And for everyone working with me and supporting me. I honestly wouldnt have made it this far without you all!
Of course if you need to, send me a note!!
And I hope youre all doing well 💕

I just want all this stuff taken care of x .x;;;
Also please don't bite more you can chew. It's easier to undo what you build up than to make it.
BUT, I am learning with this whole keeping up my schedule thing. I notice it does help me with workflow and things dont seem so overwhelming!
Thank you for the advice! <33 I definitely dont want to take on more than I can handle. That was my last mistake and what got me here in the first place x .x
Its certainly a huge milestone. But it needs to get done!! Its been too long and people have WAITED too long. I just want to make everything right again!
It does get super exhausting! But its what I have to deal with! I kinda dug my own grave with this!
If it would make it even a tiny bit easier for you, I’d honestly be fine with you doing the commission you owe me instead of receiving a refund if you’d like! I’ve really wanted more art of my Raichu in his creator’s style!
