Regarding Comissions
3 years ago
Hello y'all. I've been getting quite a few notes from curious folks inquiring about when and if I'll be opening up comms again and if I'll be making a journal announcing slots opening.
Just to temper everyone's expectations, I'm currently focused on life and school stuff first and foremost. I'm a grad student who's working heavily on research, and what free time I have I'm dedicating to multiple hobbies that include but aren't limited to art.
Furthermore, due to how my motivation works when it comes to art, I find it much easier to work on art with people I'm close to and know, and find myself more intrigued working on say, a gag sequence for a friend who I know shares a lot of kinky interests with me versus a total stranger who might have an idea that appeals to them a lot, but not entirely to me.
Look no further then my most recent art stuffs for proof: I cranked out three pieces in the span of two weeks- very quick for me- because it involved my own character and had themes I enjoyed.
So what does this mean for future comms? Well, at the moment, I've got a good bit of school work to bust out still, then I have to render a gag sequence for a close friend, and a fullbody fullcolor piece for another friend. After that, I have no more commissions to work on. So does this mean I'll immediately be opening up new slots after that? Not so fast. I'm quite intrigued in the idea of YCHs and I might be opening a few to test the waters.
If, however, I don't open up YCHs, then I have to determine whether or not I want to keep comms to a "friends only" kinda thing, or open them up to the public with the caveat of me having to be a fan of the idea to accept the commission. I don't wanna deflate anyone's wishes of getting a comm from me, but it's important to remember that this is a hobby that I make a happy buck from, it's not my primary source of income. I can be a bit more selective with the art I draw, and for the sake of my motivation and eagerness to produce art I'm happy with in a timely manner, I think I'm going to be selective going forward.
So let me finish up this semester of school, crank out these two pieces, and give me time to think on whether I'll be keeping comms friends only for a bit, or will open them to the public with the "it has to interest me" caveat. I know some of y'all are eager to comm me and I REALLY appreciate the interest, but I need to focus on my own enjoyment and academic success first and foremost so that my art doesn't suffer. ;v; I do hope y'all understand!
Oh and I might be attending Texas Furry Fiesta next year?? maybe?? I'll make a post if those plans come to fruition :0

You better focus on them academics or else I'll bonk you, and not in the good way you enjoy oh so much.
Ychs sounds a great way to test comms, but as you said, focus on you studies first, have a good end of semester pal!
I look foward to maybe getting a piece from you in the future~ :3
