DELAY - Living Circumstances Changing Again
3 years ago
The good news is that I have submitted an application for a small studio apartment in town. I'm also getting a new position at my current job, which comes with a nice little raise.
The bad news is that I don't know when the rent application is expected to be approved, or if it'll be approved to begin with. I will most likely be staying in a hotel until I get an answer. This new work position comes with a full-time night shift schedule as well, which is why I'm having to move housing again on such short notice; I am not allowed to sleep during the day in my current location.
While I get this figured out, there may be commission delays, and I will most likely be unable to take new commissions. This is because I don't like making promises I don't know I can keep, and to me, a commission with an accepted payment is a promise. It's a promise to each client that I will have a piece of fresh, high-quality artwork completed for them within a month's time or less. Being unsure of where I'll be living and sleeping means I'm also unsure when I'll be able to set up my tablet and monitor and get that artwork happening.
I'm genuinely sorry that this chaotic living situation has negatively affected my art production schedule. I promise this is just as frustrating for me as it is for all of you, as well as significantly nerve-wracking. If you want to cancel your commission, please send me a note or DM me on Discord so that I can refund your payment as soon as possible. You will always be welcome to recommission me at a later time.
Here's hoping that everything works out for the best!
