Life changes, can't fulfill commissions
5 months ago
Things have changed a lot in the last six months. In August and early September I got really mentally and physically sick from the stress of my full-time job. It didn't need to happen, but it did, and without the faith that things would improve on the management side, quitting was the right decision. It gave me the opportunity to focus on art, which was great and fulfilling, but I couldn't make ends meet, and being extremely online and working alone at home started to take its toll on me. I had just taken the most recent batch of commissions when I got an opportunity for a part-time job. Between the job, the commute, chores, and other projects, it's been a struggle to find the time to work on the commissions I've taken. The part-time job wasn't making ends meet either, and by coincidence a way better opportunity has opened up to me, but it's full time. Now I've got a full-time job, and I definitely won't have time to do all the commissions. I don't want to tell people "hey I'll get it done eventually" so I am going to unfortunately have to cancel the last round. If I had known that everything would change so quickly after I opened, I never would have offered it, and I apologize. I just want to be realistic about my timelines, I just won't be able to give it the attention it deserves.
I'm really excited about my new opportunity, right now it feels like the new chapter I've been looking for.

But if you do want to take commissions that give you a very relaxed completion time frame I’m definitely fine with waiting awhile for a commission to be done.
