Concerning commissions, finances, and things what-I-owe:
12 years ago
For those of you not exactly 'in-the-know':
Life has thrown me a number of curve-balls over the past month (Dae keeps making jokes that I should stop answering my phone so horrible stuff stops happening), and as a result, I've gotten incredibly behind on several things, including (of course) what art I owe people.
I do apologize. While I know I've let freebies slip in the past, I never had any intention of letting go by things that I was actually paid for, and I want to make sure you're all aware that I mean to either refund those of you I owe, or make good on what you haven't gotten plus a little bonus, if possible.
Please be patient with me - right now I'm scrambling not to lose the place I stay in, or the car I drive - but the amount of work I've missed because of my impacted wisdom teeth, the flu, my daughter being taken into protective custody, my grandfather dying, and the car going dead (in that order!) means that things are very, very tight for me.
Right now, I owe the following things to the following people:
Ska - 1 reference sheet, 1 bust badge + bonus bust badge (which you're getting regardless, since we completed the Ska reference - which still needs words on it, please note me so I can put the finishing touches on this!)
Teufel - 1 3-character feral cub piece
Sapphire - 1 bust badge, 1 cub badge
I already know at least one of the aforementioned people wants a refund, and I'll be getting that to her just as soon as I can.
If I owe you something and you aren't listed here, please note me so that we can reach a resolution that satisfies everyone involved.
I can't in good conscience offer commissions right now, because I'm so backed up and let's face it, I just don't have the motivation to art right now.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas.

(Insert some line about Nietzschean will-to-power and splice with a Biblical verse, my favorite, on the nature of God's love for a combined quasi-deist proposition on how to proceed.)
Will to power:
"Above all, he believes that living things aim to discharge their strength and express their “will to power” — a pouring-out of expansive energy as if one were like a perpetually-shining sun that, quite naturally, can entail danger, pain, lies, deception and masks. Here, “will” is not an inner emptiness, lack, feeling of deficiency, or constant drive for satisfaction, but is a fountain of constantly-swelling energy, or power."

God's love (1 Corinthians 13:8-13):
"8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
Finally:
Just wanted to say I believe in ya, since sometimes it's helpful to know.
