Update 19 July : Commissions in progress
Finished 15/15 commissions (list) (YEY!)
Update 16 July : All sketches sent!
Time to finalize commissions !!!
Hi sweets, I'm making several updates here and in my personal life,
So I want to inform you about the project to catch up on the arts,
And as I noticed that the site's audience is 'changing', I also need to be aware of this and follow this change.
♥Firstly about the arts process:
In the past, art was 100% created by Photoshop, lineart and selecting colors in layers was a time-consuming process,
Now I use Firealpaca to lineart and create color layers (omg, this program is a blessing), and the painting and BG I continue to do in photoshop.
Although it seems simple, before it took me one or two days per lineart, and more time to select the colors, today I can make two linearts and color layers per day
Drawing time, before I was drawing about 8 or 9 hours a day.
Now it's literally the whole day, just stopping for food and basic needs, I know it seems exaggerated but it's what's bringing me results at the moment, so it's been like this and it will be like this if I complete all the art in the queue! (I can't even say how long I draw per day, I think 12 or 13 hours)
Unfortunately this affects my health a little, so one or two days a week I draw a little less.
I'm very, very happy and excited because I'm managing to finish one piece of art a day (my gallery is very active!)
The objective is, in addition to delivering all late artwork, to get back to my deadline when I started at FA: 2 weeks.
♥About new way of interacting on the FA:
Unfortunately, I noticed that both nasty artists and scammers have appeared here, as well as commissioners who respond rudely to artists.
I understand that it's a snowball effect, because with untrustworthy artists, we have distrustful commissioners, and they end up treating other artists with distrust.
I'm a slow artist these days, but that's it and I'm trying hard to finish everything between this and next month, but I've always been extremely polite and I DON'T ALLOW A LACK OF RESPECT OR SLANDER, as I always respond as quickly as possible (1 or 2 days).
I hate this idea of a blacklist, in the past I never acquired this idea, but from now on it will exist, because I understand people can don't like the art or the waiting time and don't want to buy anymore, but disrespect or ignorance I am absolutely against and I don't I want more of these types of people here.
And about edits, I always give the option to request edits after the art is finished, but if you ignore the finished art message for days, I will understand that it was approved.
That's it for now, I'm currently finishing a YCH and soon I'll start finishing COMMISSIONS list.
For those waiting for sketches, they will be sent in the next few days,
Icons will be made after the commissions, and then I will finish the recent YCH.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments or notes.
Thank you!!!

People that know and respect that quality art takes time and not everyone has a lot of free time to dedicate to it. I understand it and I trust you will get back to which one of your customers when the chance arrives. I also have a tip for avoiding overworking yourself to the bone. Have a public queue or waiting list. So your clients can see if that you're actually working it out. I suggest Trello like I personally use but I also put a public list on a journal just in case.
Good luck and keep up the good work 😊
But I think I'll try to stick to this idea next month!!! I need to explore this site!
