Attn Commissioners & Future Commissioners

Hey everyone!
Wanted to give you all a big important update. I wish it was good news but sadly it isn't.
On June 2nd, my husband lost his job, and my being able to do art full-time came to an end. I can't sustain all of the bills on my art and streaming income alone, and we need health insurance through a job (cause buying health insurance as a freelancer is terrible and wicked expensive for shit coverage).
So, I thankfully was able to talk to my old boss and he got me a full-time M-F job doing networking with some graphic design work as needed. Aside from the 8hrs of standing, the less creative design work I have to do I'm actually ok with considering being creative all day and coming home to be creative and draw really burned me out. So, this should be a decent middle ground to where I can still draw and not be so tired.
Now what does that mean? It means my time to draw has been drastically cut. I've closed my patreon, and won't be opening new comms until my entire comm queue is clear. Everyone will still be getting their art. You can follow where you are on my trello at anytime: https://trello.com/b/RA6bSLgi/ahros.....mmission-queue If you have any questions feel free to message me. I don't have exact time frames for when things will be done, but I am working as hard as I can to get through owed work and won't be taking anything new until I'm all caught up.
I'll be back to doing art and streaming full-time again eventually, but for now I gotta make sure we have a roof over our heads and food in our bellies still. lol Taking on more commission work to try and make that happen was not going to work out (and again the health care thing.)
Here's hoping this is just a bump in the road and things will get better. :)
Thank you all for your continued support in my work! Like I said, I'm not going anywhere, just have to make sacrifices when called upon to step up. :)

Honestly good call, I've seen too many nightmare situations of people trying to balance a 9-5 and do their own thing like they don't have a day job. Hopefully things will turn around for ya both quickly, sending well wishes and good vibes.


Yeah, I knew it would be too overwhelming and I don't like taking on more work when I have too long of an outstanding queue. Thank you! ^^
