Hello everyone!
I have a few updates regarding commissions.

The list of people who have signed up back in May of 2020 is still being worked through but I have yet to finish.

The list is MUCH smaller than it once was but I’ve been a bit slow to move on it.
I know it’s been a while since signing up and their commission ideas may have changed.

I‘m taking a much needed vacation to Midwest FurFest in two weeks.
After I return, anyone on the list will be able to schedule a time to work together and tell me if their idea has changed or not.
I also want to do a few convention badges before my trip and will be announcing them later today.
I really appreciate your patience and will get to your work asap.

But there are a few other issues I would like to address as far as commissions go.

Over time the demand for my work has increased, but despite my best efforts I haven’t been able to meet it.

In the past I tried to do everything I could to speed up my work without quality loss.
It helped for a while, but as the demand grew I was back to square one.

A lot of commissioners informed me they would like to work together more often, at least more than once or twice a year (which isn’t unreasonable.)

Earlier this year I decided to do some “Your Character Here” commissions in hopes of breaking up the commission grind with a few easier to complete pictures while helping meet demand.

What I did not expect was a YCH demand so high that I was instantly in no way able to meet it.
The response from everyone has been nothing short of amazing, and I am super grateful for all the support as I would not be able to do art for a living without it.

There are some things I’m looking into which may help with demand, but given how much inflation has been out of control these past few years I have been earning less despite working more and more.
So much so that 2021 and 2022 have been the most I ever worked with some of the least amount of free time I’ve ever had.
I don’t enjoy overworking myself to this degree and I miss hanging out with everyone as often as I once did.
I’m doing my best but sometimes it feels like art is at least 3 different full time jobs at once.
I have tried to do everything possible to deal with the demand outside of raising prices, but it has gotten to the point where I have to do so in order to meet the new minimum to survive without working myself to death.

Everyone on the current commission list will still receive the same price they signed up for back in 2020, but I’ll soon publicly post my new rates for all commissions. (They have actually been in effect for a little while, but since I am not yet open I did not bother to post. But enough people have been asking that I feel I should let people know publicly.)

Doing art for a living has meant the world to me and I look forward to working with anyone wanting to work together.

More updates to come.

I appreciate your patience, business, and friendship. Thank you all so much for your support!

Please have a great day and take care :)
