People here and there ask me if I'm open for commissions, and I always turn them down. It's always a possibility I might open up in the future, but I wanted to get together my thoughts on why I don't.

1. I do a webcomic. It's a weekly thing, and I don't do it for money, I do it for myself. It takes a bit of time each week, and I still want to have time to do other stuff.
2. I work full time+, meaning lots of OT. After work, I tend to want to have time to myself or my hobbies. Maybe when I eventually get laid off (lol industry) I'll open up commissions.
3. I feel like I have a lot of room to improve and am just not well-known enough to really get into commissioning. I just wouldn't be able to do it for a super low rate for the time I'd dedicate to it, and even if I feel like I'm still amateur, my time's still valuable to me.
4. There are some projects I'm working on for others, and they will come before I do any commissions.

So guess that is easier to explain than I thought. Just thought I'd get it out there.

Who knows, maybe one day I'll open up? I think I've learned a lot from previous times I've done it, and commissions have forced me to take extra care into what I draw.
