Lyfe Update !!Perma-closing commissions!!
4 years ago
please don't ask me about commissions! It is very rare and sporadic when I do open. I will be sure to give a heads up before I open, or they will be YCHs. Thanks!!
HEY ALL! Sorry I've been so quiet, I have some kinda important updates so those who check my page can make sure they're caught up on the latest issue of Fivel News.
1. Life
- My amazing partner and I are both prepping to move to LA by the end of the year for our jobs :D I just accepted an offer for a new full time job that I'm very excited about as I continue my time in the game industry! If you know of any cool LA furry meetups let me know! I'd love to eventually head to them once things are settled and if the conditions are safe during this covid-craziness.
However, over the past year I've noticed a real decline in my ability to balance work and commissions on the side. I've been working full time (plus lots and lots of crunch) in the game industry for 5 years now, and balancing an intense job, with commissions, as well as patreon, is just... a lot.
2. Commissions
-I'm permanently closing commissions. I won't have any pricing or commission info available and will try to make it clear that this is something I'm no longer offering. I genuinely apologize to those who've been wanting to commission me, I know many of you have been waiting years for the opportunity and I legitimately wish I could take on everyone's commission because it's such a FUN fulfilling thing to do.
I've been taking on commissions for 15 years now, and I hope one day I can take them on again, but I need to really be strict about this and make zero exceptions. Unless you wanna bribe me like, $2k or something lol XD
3. Patreon
- I'm continuing my Patreon but with a bit more of this freed up time it'll make it easier to fulfill my promises and also maybe bring in new features like a discord server, adopts, and possibly patreon exclusive YCHs for the times I really feel the itch to take on a commission. However I am going to be pausing it for december as I prep for the move & holiday season, which will give me time to go back and update the pledges to fit better for my new lifestyle.
Again, I'm sorry for the disappointment, and as some on twitter had been bitter and trying to blame patreon, it isn't a factor at all in this decision. My Patreon is as casual as I can make it, and thanks to the supportive people on there it allows me time to draw sexy stuff that's for ALL to enjoy. So if that's something that interests you, feel free to support it, otherwise your kind words and favs are more than enough for me :) <3 https://www.patreon.com/fivel

In all seriousness, though: Congrats on all the new life events! Good luck with your new job!
thank you!! I appreciate it!
also as much as i understand why you are stopping coms at the same time noooooooooo, i never was able to get one from you yet
So congrats, and good luck.
thank you dude you're the fucking best <3
I wish you two all the best ^_^
That said, I do hope we will still be seeing the occasional personal art piece from you? :3
jk congratulations and I wish you only the best in your future :>
thank you, i appreciate the support!
But im happy that you fund a full time job and wish you all the best in your career 💖
Best wishes with everything and I hope the new job is as great as you hope :D
Remember to make a list of everything, or you'll end up forgetting something lol
thank you!!
thank you though I really appreciate it!
So if you're not taking on any more commissions, I presume that means that everything you upload will be personal arts. Would that significantly slow down with the focus on the games industry? After the holidays and move is cleared up that is!
hope you have a nice career over there!
