General
I apologize for not being around much. Life took over, and that has priority.
---
Life:
As of last month, I completed college. I now have an associates degree in Graphic Design. I'm reasonably sure I have High Honors as well.
*insert 'Achievement Unlocked' sound here*
---
Employment:
I had an interesting opportunity for employment a couple of months ago. However, despite actively pursuing the lead, and surviving to the last round, I've ended up against some insurmountable hurdles that I can't pass. To begin, I have been unable to complete a core section of a required pre-licensing course. Second, several doubts with this employer have arisen. I feel the long term relationship won't work out, so have stopped pursuing this job.
I'm actively pursuing another lead at the moment, for an actual graphic design position in Ann Arbor.
---
Art:
I still feel lost on what to do here, whether to continue pursuing it or not. Given recent opportunities, I don't see why I should stop. However, there are still some questions I want answered, but am hesitant to even ask. In particular, one question would involve (in essence) contacting a certain web sites secondary administrator via unofficial channels (*coughthroughherecough*), which I feel is begging for acceptance / attention from said location. The other issue is whether to offer a very limited amount of commission slots (Likely 1 or 2) I still have doubts in my abilities, as well as me being notoriously slow to do anything. Tablet cable issues don't help either... x.x

Anyhow, I'm still around, just not as much. I have more time now, with college lapsing, but I don't have any drive to draw at the moment...

If you're worried about the time it might take you to finish commissions, you could instead offer a freebie to somebody you like/whose character you like, with the understanding it might take awhile. Vix's suggestion is good, too. Ask a friend/person with a cool character you'd like to draw if they want a commission.
I don't think you need to worry about the quality of your art. I was quite satisfied with the one you did for me. <3
