I just checked the calendar today and had a "oh fuck" moment because AFO is in 11 days or so. So that means I need to start cracking down and finishing up preparations for my artist alley table. Especially since my best friend from Colorado will be coming to stay with me the week of AFO. I get so distracted when I have company, so I need to get as much done as possible before she gets here.

Here's my schedule for commissions.

This week I will try my best to finish up the last icon commissions I have. I have four left, hopefully they won't take too long. Today and tomorrow I'll be working on some mandatory merchandise I wanted made in time for AFO. So on Monday I'll get started and try to have them done within the week, most likely on Tuesday or Wednesday so I can have the rest of the week for merch. I will try my best to stick to that and hope I don't get stressed out, it's normal for that to happen during crunch time before a con. It happened for Metrocon and I about died after it was all over. Took me a while to pull myself together.

I decided not to go to Megaplex, so that Thursday or Friday, or possibly both, will be dedicated to some short livestream commission sessions I would like to do to put some money aside for things I need to get done before the con. Like..getting my license reinstated haha. That's one of the reasons why I decided not to go to Megaplex because apparently you need an ID to get a badge. So that's an out for me.

Prices will range from $15-$35 for sketches and sketches with color. I'll probably only do 3-4 slots for both sessions.

Also, I will be posting another round of character auctions sometime soon as well. I'm wondering if I should do the snow leopards again or possibly give away some of my old characters. Either way, keep an eye out for those of you who missed the last round. Suggestions are welcome.

After AFO, my friend will be staying with me for a few days. I'm not too sure how long, but she said she wanted to spend some time with me before she had to go back..which I'm all for since she happens to my favorite person in the world. So there will be delays that week too.

So what I'm saying is, after this is all over and my friend has gone home, everything should start to pick up again. Once icons are done with, my next batch to start on will be the badges I owe. C: Which I'm excited for because when I was cleaning up I found all the scrapbook paper I bought to use for them. I forgot all about it heh.

Thank you all for being so patient with me so far btw, I really appreciate it. If any of you who are waiting on things need to contact me during this time, feel free to drop me a note here, DM me on twitter or bother me on tumblr. I'm always on tumblr haha.

Speaking of which, if any of you are interested in my merchandise I will be making a sales post tomorrow. I'll have some Avengers, Pokemon, Legend of Korra and MLP stuff for sale. You can follow me on tumblr to keep an eye out!
