Commissions Closed and End of Year Update
2 years ago
Likely through New Year's, I will be keeping my commissions closed and making some highly recommended changes to my Terms of Service.
As of right now, I do not plan on increasing prices for my Simple Sketches or Detailed Sketches. Detailed Linework will continue to be unavailable (to reiterate, detailed linework is the only kind of commission that I do hand-drawn backgrounds for and has been unavailable for quite some time). I also have no plans to return to offering animations.
I was very pleased with how the warm up sketches went over. I plan on offering those again next month. That being said, there will be a price increase on them and I will be limiting my queue to avoid them piling up.
As for personal updates, I am very glad to have been able to return to drawing. Furry art and going to cons has been a huge relief to me. I love this community and I love being able to participate both online and in person. We currently have plans to return to Furry Fiesta next year so keep an eye out for Marigold, Gangrene, and, hopefully, Mairead (unfortunately, the suit has been delayed). I have another suit that I am working on, but I don't know when she will be ready for any kind of debut.
In my professional life, I've gone from being an apprentice to a fully licensed director and embalmer. I love what I do and that I am able to work in and for the community I was raised in, but things have been extremely busy for the last few months. My responsibilities have increased as well as the independence I have. I will be honest, this last week has been incredibly difficult and, without going into detail, I've hit my breaking point and have yet another case that has followed me home. Today is also the day that I lost Posy, so Christmas time tends to always put me in a funk. I'm honestly just ready for the holidays to be over.
I've been very bad at replying to comments and messages, but I hope that everyone knows that I do read each one and I am grateful for the kind words. It means a lot to me that people enjoy my art and that my commissioners trust me to draw their characters. That kindness motivates me to draw more and strive to improve.
Blessed Yule, Merry Christmas, and I hope next year is kind to all of us.
