I have come to a decision.
9 months ago
Hello everyone.
It has been a while. I want to start things off by saying thank you to all my friends and others who have supported me and my work. I joined the fandom back in 2016 where I found the community and began doing furry art. With each year I got a bit better and I decided to try my hand at commissions for the first time. It was rocky at first but it was very nice to see an interest in what I do both from friends and from others. My first real batch of commission took a long while due to me having trouble with finding a work, college, and life balance for doing so. I got those commissions done so I decided to open for more in around 2022-2023 especially with my moving into an apartment at the tail end of 2023. With college finished and me starting full time work in 2022 I thought I could handle doing both work and art on the side for additional income. However I now know that this was a mistake.
Art was something I loved doing all my life and finding the furry community proved to be an excellent place for me. However I did not anticipate the additional stress about the obligations of commission work. This took a negative toll on my art to where I’ve barely done art the past 2-3 years. I’ve lost the pleasure in art and it feels bad drawing for myself now instead of commissions. Even with knowing I need to do commissions it never feels good to put pen to tablet. I find myself hesitating, self doubting and even out right avoiding doing art. This is the realization I have come to and I have no one to blame but myself.
This being said however, I do not plan to give up on art as it is something I’ve always loved. Right now the best action I can take is to focus on art for myself and drawing practicing and doodling as I please. No longer worrying about deadlines or holding myself to an art schedule for commissions which I cant even bring myself to do. This however will not happen with the commissions looming over and the feeling of how much I’ve let you all down. No one should have to wait 2-3 years for art without so much as a work in progress.
This brings me to my decision. Commissions will now be on hold indefinitely and I will no longer be taking them going forward. If I do open again it will be when I feel better about art and I will probably open for very few slots. This will not happen any time soon. So, for those waiting on art from me I give you a few options:
If you are okay waiting indefinitely for your commission while I re-center then let me know. I will inform you when I am about to get started.
If you would a refund, like please contact me and I will put you on a list of who I need to refund and by how much. Refunds will be done as soon as I’m able.
Lastly I want to thank everyone again for supporting me. I also wish to give my deepest apologize for all those I have let down. Thank you – Zander.
