I am aware that FA is up and running again, but I'll hold back from uploading anything to the site while it is still in this abysmally slow state. At the moment pages are taking several times longer to load than before the update, and with my subpar upload speed, I dread to think how long it would take to upload an image, let alone a bunch of them!
I'll of course continue to favourite (at the moment I have to queue faves in my tabs and wait for them to process) so I'll be able to monitor the site's stability, but until it's sorted, I'll refrain. ^^
On another note there will be a Sketch Stream scheduled for Tuesday. I'm going to try and get them done roughly twice a week which leaves plenty of time to work on my other commissions inbetween.
---ON THAT NOTE---
I have decided to stop selling Level 5 commissions until I have finished all the L5s I have queued, and by working through them, I can properly re-evaluate their value as an art piece in terms of effort. At the moment, I can churn out a L4 comission in about 2 hours. L5 however takes roughly anywhere from 4 to 8 hours, which effectively more than doubles the overall effort required. Considering you can upgrade from a L4 base to a L5 base for a mere $5 more, this really makes selling L5s somewhat unappealing for me.
SO I'll pop in the commission details below that Level 5 commissions are currently out of order. Other than that, feel free to order any other quality commission from me, or better yet, pop in during a sketch stream. Remember, all commissions bought in a sketch stream have a $5bonus discount (whoops!), and get streamed for you literally there and then!
The T&Cs for my sketch stream are HERE. Check that page for information on how to buy a sketch during the stream, general rules, etc.

Charge more. It's amazing how many problems this fixes. (How do you know if your prices are too high? If you have a queue, your prices are not too high.)
I guess I'm sorta worried about how much exactly it would take before my queue stops building up x3 It's a bit of a pointless fret but it's still the sorta thing to pick at me
Auctions are decent at price discovery, and there's even a decent way to auction off a bunch of slots at once, for a bunch of different levels. Another approach is to just raise prices each time your queue opens, and measure how long it takes to fill. Depending on how infrequently you open up, it taking days is probably reasonable.
Thank you for your input :3 I appreciate it!
