Will reopen for comms again. Need advise
2 years ago
This Journal isn't to inform everyone that comms are officially reopened, but instead a heads up that I will reopen comms soon. Prob tomorrow for me (in around 20 hours from now, idk). I'll repost my Comm Sheet to indicate I'm open again.
Note that I will restart drawing comms in June since I will spend the rest of May resting and doing stuff I owe some people, but I will start generating the line this May.
Truth be told, I'm very grateful for everyone who showed interest in commissioning me, but I am in a bit of a dillema now. I never would have thought I could grow this much, let alone reach 1k watchers here. I'm always afraid of disappointing or letting people down, and so when I reopen my comms I might not be able to accomodate everyone. I'm only 1 person that loves to draw yiff.
With that being said, any recommendations on how I should move forward?
Take in few at a time and finish em then reopen?
Take a bunch now, give everyone the chance to fall in line, but last peeps may have to wait half a year?
Also, the problem of, what if everyone wants an animation? They take more time to make.
[I know I overthink things]
I'd appreciate some advise from anyone. Peeps who are interested, peeps who have expierences, or whomever.
Thank you very much :)

Personally, I find it best to do 2-3, take a break, do a few more. See how the workload feels, and adjust as needed c:
If someone wants an animation, you could just take on that singular project for the batch. You control the workflow!
Whichever you choose, have fun with it, take breaks and stay hydrated! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
I'll keep that in mind and will do my best not to overwork/burn myself out.
Or do a raffle for people that are interested. And if the same perzon gets picked twice, re-roll.
I do get some anxiety reopening comms as it is hehehe
Soon, I'll get the hang of things though.
Thanks a lot Slim :)
In terms of what interests me, sadly, I'm interested in A LOT of things hehehehe. I only say no to things that I know I'm incapable of doing or toilet stuff.
Thanks a lot for the heads up!!
I'll keep em in mind! :)
Try taking two or three at most and see how it feels. You may want to go down to just one person at a time.
And as for animations, you should only take one of them at a time, I have to imagine. Perhaps you could also take single picture comms at the same time, and then you could work on the animation and be able to swap to a single picture as a break from the animation work. You could let the animation-client know their item will, of course, be finished last, no matter when you accept it AND let it be known that you might take on multiple mini-rounds of 2 or 3 single image commissions while one large animation project is ongoing.
Also, as Feyro said, it's very important to choose things you actually WANT to do, ones that interest you personally.
Yeah, I was thinking of how I'd pace animations at this rate. Having stuff by rounds sounds nice. 2-3 still comms, then an animation, then something for myself when I feel like it. Of course, I'd need to keep my pacing in check as well.
But in terms of taking the things I like, I like a LOT of things that it's hard to choose hehehe. I also don't wanna disappoint peeps by saying no. So far, I did have to say no at times cuz it's work that I can't guarantee I could do or finish.
Thanks a lot :)
I'll keep em in mind
