General
Commissions are currently closed.
Okay, I have a feeling this journal is going to be a long one so I'll try to break it up by groups to make for easier reading...
IF YOU APPLIED FOR A COMMISSION FROM ME LAST YEAR...
So last year, when I opened the Google Forms for people to apply for comissions... I got 50 responses.
Guys... 50.
And I JUST now finished commission number *counts* 21. I've done 21 out of 50. I'm not even HALFWAY there.
It is because of that that I need to announce with a heavy heart that I'm trimming down the number of those commissions I'm doing. I was too over enthusiastic and thought that I could handle all of it, but with recent events at work and upcoming future possibilities this is now becoming WAY to overwhelming. My job has put me in a place where I don't even get a full hour lunch break anymore (I used to also draw during my lunch break to help get them done quicker). Plus with trying to upload comic pages in between some of them along with other personal projects, this process is just going to drag on and on til next year. I've already had plenty of people starting to get impatient with me that I was taking too long to get to theirs done. And I really don't want to possibly make people wait until NEXT year before I get to theirs. I know some of you might say that you don't mind waiting, but keep reading and hold on to that enthusiasm for what I'm about to say in just a few more short paragraphs
And because of this, I decided to cut down 19 of the 29 remaining responses I got. Therefore I will only be doing 10 more commissions from last year's form.
You can find the names for remaining slots I'll be working on on my Trello here: -> https://trello.com/b/xF9R83mq/lagers-art-progress
Please. PLEASE
If you don't see your name on this list, PLEASE don't take it personally. I had to carefully read through all of them and decide which ones I could probably get through the easiest and the quickest. Everyone had MARVELOUS comm ideas but I really cannot stress enough how difficult it was for me to pick which ones I would try to finish and which ones I wouldn't. I'm very deeply sorry if you've been waiting forever for me to get to your comm.
BUT PLEASE! If you still want one from me then keep your comm idea! When I open comms again, I will keep in mind who I didn't get to on this list and try to prioritize you for first pickings. (Tentative how my comm system will work. Please keep reading for more info on that.) When comms WILL open again, I don't know.
MORE PROJECTED FUTURE (AND GOOD) NEWS!
So my application for the Air Force Reserves has been APPROVED!! What this means, is I can get OUT of this crummy full time active duty position soon and actually start working on my goal for making art my FULL TIME JOB (with some AF weekend drills thrown in) Come this September, I will be released and can begin doing nothing but DRAWING 5 days a week babyyyyy! I'm hoping I can get those 10 comms done before then because that month is going to be chaos with moving back to the States, moving in with the mother for some time and getting all my belongings together before moving AGAIN. This time to.... wait for it... PITTSBURGH babyyyyy!!
On that note, since I plan to go full time, I'm going to need some financial platforms to help support me which is why I shall be opening up a...
KO-FI and PATREON!
Sometime in the next couple weeks or so, I will go public with my Patreon that I've been slowly trying to build up! There will be tiers where monthly subscribers would get a monthly sketch from me and there will be discounts for commissions, some behind the scene WIPs, and early viewings of comic pages and commissions! (With a Discord server as well, but I'll probably wait till I'm drawing full time before I get that far)
But as of right now my Ko-Fi is public and open if you feel like leaving a tip! ->https://ko-fi.com/lagergoaty
Some of you who follow me on Twitter know that I'm also trying to get into Steaming more too. Whereas I'll take Ko-Fi donations for a 1-2 character sketches. I just got myself a new drawing tablet that I hooked up to my gaming computer.Streams are going to be EVERY THURSDAY AT 2:30pm EST (7:30pm BST). For more info on streams and sketch rules please visit the Ko-Fi link ^^^
THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT DELAY IN WHENEVER THEY CATCH YOU PAGES
Because I'm going to have SO MUCH going on within the next few months, (i.e. finishing those remaining comms, opening patreon, separating, moving, getting my finances figured out, moving AGAIN {all on top of the BS work schedule they have me on now}) the comic will be on a temporary hiatus.
But fret not because I have already formatted and wrote the next 10 pages! But because there really isn't going to be any... *cough* kinky parts in those pages, I wish to get them ALL done and release a page every week so that you guys don't get too bored with the story (yes there actually is a story lol). I'm already making those who want coms from me wait, I don't want to make people waiting on each page to be waiting long too. Most likely, I may not even release any pages until I'm already settled at my new place and doing art full time.
On top of that comic, I've also got lots of other projects on the board including short story comics, expanding Lager's own universe, dabbling more in animation, and of course the streaming bit too!
Final word...
So I know that was a LOT to take in (which is why I broke it up for easier reading)
But for the tl;dr version, I'm essentially dropping some of the comm applications in order to take a breather on my mental health and finish some important things first. And because I don't' take payment until the commissioner is satisfied with their sketch it's not like I'm refunding anyone.
I again am deeply and truly sorry to people who have been waiting forever to get a comm from me and not see their name on that list. This was hard for me. Doing all these comms with a SHIT work schedule is hard for me. I'm hoping that if I can really make it working as a full time freelance artist that I can make it up to all of you that have been waiting forever. There's nothing that makes me happier than hearing someone's elated reaction to a picture I've done for them.
It makes me more proud and happier than anything I've ever done in the Air Force. And I've been in for 12 years so that's saying a LOT.
Thank you all so much again for your continued kindness and support.
Hugs and kisses from this silly goat <3

Thanks so much dude!
Looking forward to all your future work, take care! ^w^
I just wanted to say that hey, if you've gotten that many commission requests, it sounds like SOMEbody has to raise their prices next time. I lectured a good friend of mine about this before, so I hope that you take the value of your demand seriously, lest you face my wrath. X3
Well I CERTAINLY don't want to face your wrath! (I'd most certainly lose) but yes! That did occur to me and I feel raising my prices would probably be appropriate as well given the circumstances
Thank you again!
And thats great to hear! Good to know that Pittsburgh sounds like a pleasant place!
