Cancelling and refunding Iron Artist
12 years ago
So, I realized,
I really can't finish these.
Through a mix of having bit off waaay more than I can chew, having gotten too busy, telling myself I can't, needing to get a real job to pay bills;
I'm throwing in the towel on this one.
I said I'd get them done, And I'm so very sorry :( But, I'm not even half way through them. I just can't.
I'll be doing the refunding process in installments. Since I only have so much money right now. I'll be refunding what I have left at the end of every other week, in the order that I would have done the commissions.
When refunded, I'll update the list, and note you that your commission has been cancelled, with a link to this journal, along with the amount you have been refunded.
I'm sorry for any and all inconvenience. I can't imagine how it must feel to be on the other end.
But there are other artists more able of keeping their crap together.
I figured now would be a good time to explain just what has been keeping me so damn busy.
As of September, I've been enrolled in an amazing art program. I get to try my hands at a bunch of different studios, from textiles, to ceramics, painting, animation, sculpture, print making, lithograph, the list goes on.
However, it is kind of taxing and stressful. Mostly stressful for me being that I've been biting my nails since school started over where I'll be able to fit in enough time to get these Iron artist commissions done.
Then in November I managed to get a job, because it was out of the question to take on any more commissions here, because I already had such a backlog, I felt guilty taking any commissions outside the fandom because of this backlog,
and I really was not earning any money to pay for stuff.
The job is awesome, the school program is amazing, this community is the best thing on the internet,
But I just kind of personally went downhill.
And now, it's already the new year. Time to get a grip.
So I'm refunding all of these, and then taking it easy for a while. Or whatever happens.
I've been so inactive here because it felt wrong to be on here except when I was able to do the iron artist commissions.
So I've been really quiet because of that.
Either way, it's time for a new chapter.
Time to be a little less business and a little more me.
But first, to wrap up loose ends.
Again, I'm sorry guys, please forgive me.

Just note it to me and I'll make a mental note of it when I get there.
I just really don't want to disappoint anymore than I already have
Hope when life calms down some you can come tug my wallet for some more fun commissions like the one ya already gave me too though :3 *dook*
Just no losing yer skill between now and then in yer spare time ;) is a great skill, in my humble opinion
Maybe down the road once this is all done and over with, I'll do some free doodles and stuff, instead of commissions.
Mistake made, and learned from
I do miss everyone, really
It'll be a true sigh of relief when I have them all refunded though
My paypal hasn't changed and stayed the same.
If you need it I can just message you about it.
I hope things work out.
I'll be sending you a note when your money has been refunded in full,
Until then, thank you for your understanding bud
Just gotta wait for some more money to come through
I see, no worries, take your time dear ^^
I would've liked to get through them all, but realistically, I dug myself into a 6 foot death trap
Thank you for your understanding regardless
A year ago I asked for a picture, I was number 16 on your list.
You decided to do only a few of those pictures and said you would refund those of us that you didnt draw a picture for.
Some how I have became the 74th person on the list for refunds and the next in line, which I have been for several months now.
I feel that enough time has gone by for any personal problems you have had or are having so stop ignoring the fact that you owe people money here, it wasnt a request or a favour, it was a commission, a purchase and I am owed either a picture of promised quality or a refund.
I did not overly mind the fact that you wanted to refund us instead of drawing the pictures, but the fact that you still havent finished refunding us is a joke.
I may come off seeming like an angry bad guy here and I do hope your getting through any problems you are having but I really do feel that enough time has gone by to warrant voicing my true opinion.
