To ALL commissioners, traders, or anyone else

Hi.
As you may be wondering.."Where the eff is my art?" I decided that it was time for a mass update on WHY it is taking my so long to pump out this art. You see, I have always been a "Quality or Quantity" Person. Sure, I could pump out every single trade, commission, and otherwise in less than a week on my whole queue. Yes, they would be finished, colored, and posted. However, Do any of you want a piece of art that took me 30 minutes when it should have taken me more than 2 hours? I don't think so. (But, if you are on my list, and want me to just pump it out, do let me know) The best quality art takes place when I take my time, and really go into details with the artwork, plan it, think on it. Most of you have no idea how I work, so I might end up making a step-by-step to show you how its done. In the art that people have payed more than 50$ on, I do multiple thumbnails, and multiple bubble compositions, as well as tons of tweak, 3 separate sketch phases, 2 separate inking phases, and 4+ different drawing phases. Many of my pieces have a lot of layers that no one is really aware of.
For instance - http://www.furaffinity.net/full/4663588/
His main green fur color is actually made of 5 different green marker colors blended together. It is time consuming, but it pays off.
So, give me time. It pays off. If you don't want to wait, and just want me to pump it out for you, then tell me, and I will produce something that will, more than likely, be something that isn't some of my best work.
To those of you who are willing to wait, if I haven't started your commissions yet, you can request them to be changed or whatever until I begin them.
Thanks!

I'm hip. No sense drawing something if you won't be happy with your own work.
