I've finally managed to clear out my current commission queue, and it took me a lot longer than I thought. I was hoping to have been done by September, but circumstances led to me only finishing the final piece yesterday. But done it is.
*phew*
So for now I'm going to be taking it easy for the rest of 2023. I'll be shifting my focus to doing some artwork of my own, mixed in with the odd commission or two as well as continuing work on the Naked Gladiator series.
It will also give me time to think about my comic commission offerings. At the start of the year I said I wanted to keep the number of comic commissions down to ease my workload. Unfortunately, that went completely off the rails. A combination of various factors, including a change of ideas and a massive f***-up on my part over at DeviantArt, resulted in me doing 8 comic commissions. And that's not counting the regular Naked Gladiator pages and even a personal comic. To cap it all off, most of the people who inquired me about commissions were comic-related too.
Don't get me wrong. Comics are fun and I see why folks like them. I enjoy them too, especially when I can do some story-telling. But they are a lot of work, no doubt about it. So while I'm not going to stop taking comic commissions, I am definitely going to have change the way how I accept such commissions. I'm still debating whether to place a moratorium on them, adjust how many panels I'd do per page or simply increasing the price for them. I'll decide on that on a later date, but for now I will say that its best not to expect me to accept comic commissions until I got a plan in place.
So that's its for now. Thanks for reading my ramblings!

But yeah it's understandable if your unsure what to do about comics currently, but I'd be happy to pay extra. You make them worth every bit!

With the change on how you do Comic Comms (being funny), I'd think that placing a moratorium on them, or increasing the prices, would be better. Trying to adjust how many panels per page could be limiting, or throw you off. And either of those won't be helpful.
For the moratorium: If you meant no comic comms for a while, that'd be good. You could focus on your own comic ideas, while doing short, one item comms. If you meant having longer breaks in between comics, no problem with stepping away for a while. Personally I'd like to see more of your comic ideas for some time. I want to know what you been planning on doing.
And as for increased pay, more work means more money, right? I can't say much else about this, since I can't afford comms on anything, from anyone, for a while. (Money's tight right now. Need time to recover.)
