I'm not going to defend what I've done. As an artist, I have done several commissioners wrong, and I cannot change that. I'm also not going to give excuses. There should have been none.
The only things I can say right now is that for a long period of time, I found myself unable to draw anything. I still find issues with drawing, and I am working through them. Something that I once loved, had turned into something that I found myself dreading doing, and something that I would procrastinate against. Truthfully, this tore me apart, and gave me a bit of an identity crisis, since I'd always associated art as being part of who I am.
Due to many current events in my life, I have just recently started drawing again, and even then, with trepidation. I believe I now know the root of why I was so artistically devoid, but feel no need to go into excruciating details here, lest it end up sounding like an excuse, which is not my intent.
To be completely honest, I only took payments in advance because I was in a dire straight with money, which a part of me realized I shouldn't have done, but another part rationalized that with how much I love art, that it shouldn't be a problem.
It will likely be a while before I am on here again, regularily or not, mainly because I am still trying to piece myself back together.
However, I do have a few things to say to commissioners. Should I have not finished your piece, once I get my paypal updated ( I had to change my bank account), if you would note me with your info, I would be more than happy to refund your payment.
However, I will say this. Although it will likely take a long ass time. I am true to my word. Whether or not you are refunded, I will finish these pieces. I just need to sort through some things first.

Thank you friends, and once again.. I am sorry.
