Commissions on Hold.
a year ago
Hi guys! I am going to be taking a short break (1-2 months) from commissions.
The reasons for this are;
I am not in the headspace to continue to work on projects that aren’t mine.
- I do not wish to create art that is subpar or only “just okay” for my clients. I have a lot of mental struggles that are still on going and I feel like I’m only producing subpar work. When you commission me, I want to feel like I did you a just service, and lately I haven’t been feeling that way.
I will still draw and create finished pieces but I desire a little me time.
This follows into the second reason; I need time to explore my other interests.
- Commissions are fun and I love interacting with you all, but I would like to focus on some personal games and new releases pretty soon. Not to mention I will be going back to work full time again and I do not think I want to work for 9 hours and then come home and work again. I just need a small break to do nothing when I get home from a full 9 hour day.
I am worried this decision will hurt my visibility, but I want to try it just once and make amends later.
All in all, I hope that we will continue to see each other when I post about my characters and all the shenanigans I hope to push them into. I also want to try out a few YCH’s again instead of pure commissions and see how those go. I’m rambling now and this journal has turned deeply unprofessional, so excuse the mess!
Thank you for understanding and being my clients. I hope you consider me for work again in a few months. ❤️

I understand taking some time off for new stuff tho, I used PTO for elden ring and ff14 recently, lol. Hope you have fun!
I hope that you’ll have some quality time for yourself
Don’t you worry about being unprofessional, you’ve always been amazing and so pro ! Everyone needs a break, and I’m sure the quality of your work so far is a witness to your skill and good work ethic, it sure won’t hurt your visibility
Wish you a beautiful day !
