I wanted to announce that I'm holding off on opening commissions this month. I didn't want to do that because there's no thing I hate more than having to take back what I said; when I make plans I want to be able to stick to them... but things happen. It's already hard enough to plan Livestreams because it's just hard to foresee what will get in the way. But until I've got more of an idea what my daily routine will be like, it may be a sporadic for awhile so I apologize in advance.


Commission Schedule

Every Wednesday - Webstore Cut Orders [link]
There will be a limited number of "Custom Cut" and "Cut + Hinged" masks available for purchase from my webstore every week on Wednesdays and will remain up until the slots are taken. If I fill up those order slots during the week, orders will be temporarily disabled until the next Wednesday. Turnaround time is within two weeks. This schedule will remain in effect as long as it is practical to do so.


Monday, September 16 - Commission Livestream [link]
Livestream won't cooperate and I have plenty of other things to do today. Cancelled, sorry :(
Instead of opening quotes this week and accepting slot commissions on the 15th as planned, I am canceling my plans to open commissions and instead will be hosting another On-The-Spot Livestream (which I now dub OTSL) commission day. This may end up being a regular thing.

I really liked the two other times I've done this style of commissions and figured those who want art from me can still get a chance to get something smaller/simpler for now and much sooner than if I took them as a normal slot commission. And I prefer it so I don't have any lingering responsibilities; I finish everything I was paid to do in that day. Downside is I can't do anything too crazy or detailed with these unless I purposely set aside a timeslot to accommodate it and it's best to do that in advance. I will have to judge interest for this.


Tuesday, October 1 - Commission Quotes Open
First day of October I'll be opening quotes for character drawings (NOT COSTUMES). The price I quote you at is good for 3 months so you can submit your requests at any time, get a price for your art, and be ready to grab an open commission slot when they are available. This makes it easier for me to organize and allows you to not have to scramble to fill out your form when I open- you can be ahead of the game and have the best chance at getting an earlier slot. I'll have quotes open for awhile but I'll announce a day in advance when/if I close them again.


Mid-late October - Commission Slots Open
There are many reasons I'm holding off on taking new slots. Number one reason is that I'm not going to be able to finish all the old commissions on my to-do list before Sep 15 -which was the date I originally planned to open for new slots. Basically it would give me no time to enjoy myself and celebrate my accomplishment. I just need a few solid days of work to wrap it up but I don't want to immediately jump back into that hole I just crawled out of after being buried in it for so long. I also had a convention this past weekend that interfered with plans to quote and open slots since I wasn't home.

SO you can expect the opening date to be in October now. I will be starting on the 2013 RMFC commissions that I took in August first and once that dies down (I'll still be doing some OTSL during this time... again that's On-The-Spot Livestreams) I will have an official new opening day and hope to consistently offer new slots once or twice a month from then on.
