Burnout
3 years ago
General
Hi all.
In November, I managed to secure a full time job working for a production studio as an animator. This is essentially my dream job. The hours are long, but the pay is good.
Unfortunately, it leaves me so exhausted, mentally and physically, that I haven't really touched my commissions since then. Everytime I do, I make them worse. If you've met me, you know what a ridiculous perfectionist I can be, so the stress has left me avoidant of the work - a sure sign of burnout that I'd been attempting to ignore since September.
So I'm closing commissions indefinitely. I will be completing those commissions I have yet to complete, at no extra cost to the commissioners - if you paid half up front, you don't have to pay me the other half, as an apology for work not done to schedule.
Please be patient with me - I will complete your commissions. I just need time to get my shit sorted and my head in order.
Love
Cormac

I know this was 2 weeks ago now, but I hope you got a chance to clear your head. Good for you though, for taking care of yourself first WHILE assuring folks you hadn't dropped commissions. Hope things are working out!
