I think people will be more forgiving than you think. You have a huge following of people who care and adore you. They will likely be just as happy to get something else. Try not to let it get you down, at least you admitted to them and offered refunds, that's the big thing of you to do. *offers hugs*

It's quite fine with me... sorry for having to bring it up on your journal though :<

I'm honestly and truly sorry..

it's okay hon... really it is... you just cant do it. I totally respect that <3 -hugs-

I'll refund you as soon as I can, I promise.

okay. that's totally fine.

If anything, *I* should be the one to say sorry... I brought it up and I really shouldn't have :c

Oh sweetheart. Please just take all the time you need. You need to relax yourself and your brain. Those icons are very complicated to do and if you no longer wish to do them I am sure everyone will respect your wishes.

Please never be sorry.. Your a wonderful woman we all love *huggles*

*hugs*

I've never NOT delivered like this before...

Hey, Everyone needs a break. You are human just like everyone else sweetness *hugs*.

It is better you take a break like this than have a breakdown later trust me ok?

*hugs* it's ok. I'm sure I can think of something else I can commission from you <3

well, you have a $15 credit.

Hell, i might just offer a free full color drawing to everyone :x

*Sigh* I'm not gonna try to hide the fact that I am disappointed. But you are the artist, and if you feel you can't do them anymore then that's that. I know these are a lot of work, and you did take on quite a few at the same time. Like i said when I got the slot. I am sorry to have had to get one for that reason. Don't feel bad about it.

I'll refund you as soon as possible, I promise...

OMG RAAAGE I PAY SOOOMUCH MONEY! LIKE SOOO MUCH! AND YOU DO THIS ASDFGAAAARBLE!!!!

Ohh wait.

Pie?

Hey, don't kick yourself over this. You have said before that these icons are difficult for you to draw.

I understand why you couldn't get these done and you have nothing to be sorry for.

Best wishes for your recovery from the stress and take it easy.

I'll refund you as soon as possible, I promise

No need for a refund. We'll organise something later on when you aren't feeling so bad.

Aww and here i was hoping to see how mine could turn out. Either way dont worry about it and hope you get better

My paypal account is blocked so i'll tell you where to refund ^^

Aw :/ hope ya feel better soon!

Had I ordered one, I wouldn't be upset.

I waited too long for an icon from another artist who barely delivered anything. I got my work and was pleased with it because I knew it was worth it. rough times come when in work and I've limited a lot of my commission work as well. Keeping up with both activities is hard but not impossible.

Your art is pretty epic, so the animations. The real reason I see here is that you keep thinking of stuff you "have to do"

Taking a break from your art and relaxing without thinking about it is a good thing to try. If your fans want to wait they will. Why not, instead of giving a refund right away, ask if they want to wait for some time? don't go feeling down like that. We appreciate your effort

hun, they've already been waiting well over a month.

I just cant do them. It gives me a headache thinking about it..

well, is your decision and I'm not gonna force mine on you. Ask if they wanna wait is what I say. Try to relax for now. Headaches are never nice

I'm not going to do them hun.
But thank you for your input, it is appreciated <3

alright. I'm still looking up to the future, your art is worth watching no matter what

<hugs you tight> You need the hug...

Don't beat yourself up over this. I have seen the icon's and can appreciate how much time it can take to do one. If you were getting that overwhelmed by them, then no one should blame you at all.

*hug*

*hugs* Try not to take on such a workload next time. Don't wanna burn out.

~squigglyhugs~

hun, i may not of grabbed one but you honestly shouldn't let this get to you, it sounds like you have been under a lot of stress and no matter what that can easily kill your creativity, laying low on commissions would be a wise idea for a while, i would even suggest taking one at a time for a while till things quite down, i hope thing will get better for you soon hun ^.^ and im sure you will see tons of forgiveness

Hey sweetie, I know we don't know each other very well on here, but please trust when I say that as painful as it is to not be able to deliver, your Watchers will understand that you're only human. It's not unheard of to try to tackle something that winds up being a lot bigger than we expected. I'm finding a similar problem with Iron Author >.< So I'm sure you'll see that we're quite understanding, and those who aren't can go teach their grandmother's to suck eggs.

HeeeyHeeey hun :S *flattens the ears and huggles you tight*

Well, if I'd say that this doesn't bother me at all I'd definitely lie, since I am really a bit sad, since I tried to get these icons for a really long time now (I believe it was since the first time I saw them >.<) *smirks and scratches the back of the head*

Nevertheless, hun you can't imagine how bad I feel when I read about this now, I'm shocked that it makes you suffer so much :(*flattens the ears and sighs* To be honest, this sounds like a typical burn out to me (I'm not a doc, but at university I have seen quite some people with the burn out syndrom so far...)
I hope it didn't go that far that you were afraid of working on yout comp and that you had nightmares :S *sighs worried again*

Just refund me the two icons whenever you can an of course keep the little tip I send you ;) I need the money and guess I'll buy something nice for my doggy, since I lack of money to do so in the last time ;P *winks*
I don't mind when it will be, I know you always have money problems yourself and I know exactly how this is XD *ruffles your hair*

Let no one push you, after all your health is more important than anything else^^''' Just make sure to not take such a work load again, no matter what, nobody wins from this *nuzzles* And see~? No one is really mad at you, as I expected :D
After all you're a very sweet person and people like you :3 Moreover you always get treated at you deserve it and since you were so brave and honest no one has the right to treat you with anything other than respect :) *smiles encouraging at you*

Can we still donate? c:

I would feel really bad if you did :x

I really dont deserve it lol

Lies. o:
Hmm. What if I sent you the world's largest jelly worm?

Stress can suck, I know. I did a trade recently that took MONTHS longer to do then it should have. Every time I sat down to do it, I failed badly, and wanted to tear my hair out, so I would set the pencil down, or close the drawing program and do something else. Eventually...I DID get it done, but not after many, many changes.

Stress can suck, and it can destroy your life. Just...make sure your okay, and don't try to take on so much at once. Your mental and physical health is important, after all. Yes, this is a disappointment to some, I've seen, but if your stressed to hell, anything you attempt to do will be of lesser quality if you can do it at all. Luck to you in the future, and just make sure you watch yourself, aye?

You don't know me very well, but I know you did my icon and a dragon drawing, both of which I love. You do have my deepest sympathy, and hopefully you can overcome and manage all the challenges in your life atm. Art can wait, life can't. Take your time, get everything sorted out, and your fanbase will still be here, admiring the excellent work you always do. Don't overdo it all ^.=.^

Aww, sweetie, don't worry about it!
*huggles* I'll accept my 15$ credit towards something else, and I'll think about it for awhile, especially since you're closed for commissions. If you'd rather just flat-out refund me, you can. I think you know at this point that you're a pretty big inspiration for me. I wish I could doodle with the sort of enthusiasm and passion you display in your work, and I love your stuff. So I'm not going to worry about the icon very much. More than anything, I understand the stress of not being able to work on stuff you don't want to, and knowing you should.
Just let me know - if you remember - when you're ready to work on commissions again, and what you'll be opening for. If you forget, of course, I'll send ya a little nudge when I see you've opened again. ^^

I am closed for commissions, but I am open to those who got the Draw Me icons. You have a credit to whatever else i offer
