Current Commissions and Expansions Update
2 years ago
I hope everyone is doing well! I am trying to keep more transparency with my commissioners into 2023. I feel like that was a big hurdle I have struggled with in the past, so I am trying to do better both for myself and for people who are interested in commissioning me! You are all incredible and really keep me going, so I want to do my best by you!
Life has been a little hard this past week. I had to help my family pay a 400$ bill, have been dealing with a major shift in responsibilities at my job, and overall also dealing with some more personal situations that have left me on the razor's edge with my anxiety. It feels like I've taken a huge backward slide in spite of my best efforts and I've been more than fairly overwhelmed. Correspondence and commission progress might be slower for a short bit as I try to get my mental health sorted. I've felt so guilty because I gave a timeline for my commissions and I think for the most part I can make those deadlines, but with the current string of luck I've been filling myself with dread that I'll still take too long. Being nearly unable to do anything in a day because I've shut down only exacerbates those feelings.
I will keep my queue up to date and progress as much as I can when I can, but I ask for your patience while I try to work through this low. Thank you for understanding!
It pleased me to know in the poll that several people would be interested in a personal discord server, because I actually have had one in the works for a while now! I was planning on keeping it close to my chest until it was complete, but I wanted to respond to my poll to mention quite definitively: A Murkey Art Discord will be coming soon!
Additionally, I will be investigating the prices for Wing-It Commissions. I might tether that to Ko-Fi commissions, though I'm undecided! But it feels like a good way to just send in a detailed prompt of what you want so I can work with quicker, revision-free commissions at a discount from my normal rates!
I now accept Boosty as a payment method, which I hope will allow more versatility for payment with future commissions.
Lastly, I might be creating a Carrd Website and changing my organization and promotional materials to better explain my prices and what I do! There are some things being phased out, and I might be making a greater distinction based on the finish of my piece, rather than having them all cluttering specific ads. Stay tuned and hopefully, everything will be more concise and legible!
Thank you so much for reading, I really hope you're all doing well! Thank you so much for your support and your patience, and I look forward to working with you and producing more content that you all can enjoy!

Also, your mental health is ver important! It's totally understandable that things would slow down considering all that stuff you're juggling. I think it took a lot of bravery to tell everyone that, too!
I don't have a commission with you yet, but I'm certain most people are in the same boat, so please take time and most importantly take care of yourself first. You're a BIIIG priority, too! Is definitely ok to rest whenever you can, so try not to beat yourself up over it ok? I feel like the people who like you, and most likely commissioned you, certainly won't mind.
Keep on being you, because you're awesome~ You got this!
Wish I could be of more practical help, sorry.
