I think it's long overdue for me to make a journal updating everyone including commissioners. I don't post a lot of art or even progress shots sometimes when I'm clamped down working on multiple projects. I think I'll change that habit, but rest assured clients are updated regularly in DM. I wanna take a moment to humbly thank those who have commissioned me and are still waiting on theirs patiently. I know some of you have been waiting for a while. I think after my queue is cleared, I will finally be closing commissions. At least publicly, if I know you or you got the balls to ask just give me a wink and a nudge and I'll see what I can do. For now though, I'm shifting my focus entirely from maintaining commissions as secondary income. I only feel obligated to fulfill my commissioners and provide them with their product they paid their hard earned coin for. But enough of that, what I also wanted to talk about is what I will be doing instead of commissions (full-time). I have plans to release sticker and button sets on probably Ko-fi or Etsy within the next month. I already have been doing test prints with art I've made last year but I will be making a lot of new art just for stickers. I have a button making machine now and the materials for home production of these. Everything will be handmade at home and never outsourced. I hope this doesn't come as too disappointing, commission sales have just never been good for me. Adoptables don't do as well either and I have been getting more interest in physical merchandise from over the years. I figure starting with stickers and buttons is the best option for me, but I also plan to release things like, prints, t-shirts/apparel, spiral bound note/sketchbooks, and more... I wanna be ambitious and commit to it but not get in over my head. I also hope that as I begin to transition away from adopts/commissions I can begin making and posting more original art. TY for reading.
