Offering Refunds on Commissions!
14 years ago
As some of you may be aware, there has been a massive lag in my commission workload, more so then usual. For those of you still waiting on work, or who have theirs done but wondered why the wait was so long I would like to offer you an explanation I have up to this point kept mum on.
It's nothing super serious.... not like mortally anyway. But I kept mum because I always feel like explanations like this come off as excuses and a lack of responsibility on the part of an artist and when I see it I tend to roll my eyes, and yet here I am.
So basically school work has been keeping me completely busy for the most part. Now before you roll your eyes like I would, I have come with a mathematical break down of how this goes. Every week I attend 4 classes, each averaging about 3 hours. Each class in turn strives to give out 2 hours of homework every week for each hour spent in class. Total time in class is 12 hours, and total time spent on homework is 24. So thats 36 hours every week at the minimum that I spend doing things related to school. Some classes I have are 4 hours long, and some classes will give more than the 2 to 1 ratio. Weeks leading up to midterms break the bank on time spent work (well over 50) and finals approaches 60. This is what going for an animation degree gets me.
Now that's just school, numerous other things I have to attend to in every day life eat up a good deal of time as well, not to mention the travel in a public transit just to get too and from school. When it all boils down to it I get fairly little time to work on commissions, and of that I have even less opportunity to work on any sort of erotic work..... I just don't work on that stuff while in a public place, only at home. Then there's the fact I do CG on a desktop computer, it doesn't go with me.
Now the figures I have dropped here are based off of last term, and the term ahead of me looks as though it will be even more labor intensive with 2d animation and conceptual design classes.
So I'm writing this to let everyone know what the lay of the land is, and to do the responsible thing. I do not know when these commissions will get done, I work on them any time I get the chance, but as stated that isn't very often. I am anticipating the workload getting heavier. So here is what I'm going to do.
ANYONE WHO HAS A UNFINISHED COMMISSION WITH ME CURRENTLY MAY NOTE ME IMMEDIATELY TO REQUEST A REFUND IF THEY ARE UNWILLING TO WAIT.
All you need to include in your note is how much you paid and the paypal address you would like it to be refunded to. I have come in to a bit of a cash refund on things and am in a position that I can offer these to EVERY commissioner who currently has work commissioned if they so choose. If you are not worried about this and are willing to wait, that is fine with me. I do not want replies in anything other than note form and I will assume anyone who does not get a hold of me is ok with the undertermined wait time.
If you have other questions however, feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer you.
