To Commissioners: Sloowwwness I'm sorry fjs;d
12 years ago
Hey guys--first off--want to remind everyone that I DO have a commission to-do-list that I update whenever I get stuff done. It is linked on the top of my page, under the to-do-list. So long as you are on it, you are not forgotten!
That being said, I totally acknowledge that I am, well, rather slow. :(
Part of this is due to having a 30-40 hours a week job (which requires two hours worth of transportation each day on top of it), that often leaves me exhausted at night time and therefor not getting much done during my few hours of freedom I get.
Another part is I stress very easily. When I get stressed out I tend to avoid--which is terrible and not a solution at all! But it brings about a big sense of apathy when I get super stressed about stuff. I have a hard time getting myself to do anything at all, even eat. (Of course I know the solution is to get up, do stuff, eat, etc--but mighty hard to work up that motivation sometimes!)
Last part is that I took on a LOT. Not smart, I know--but I really needed the money (as most of them went toward a replacement tablet, and the rest to help ease my hour cuts during summer). And to be quiet honest, I thought I could do it all! (Lesson learned, thanks 8( )
As of right now, I am NOT taking any more commissions until everything is caught up. (So please don't ask for anything right now, the answer will be no.) Unfortunately I MAY end up taking speedpaint auctions--but two or so auctions can usually provide me enough of a necessary buffer while expending no more than 4 hours of workable time. I only take these on as necessary and hope to not need any more until all commissions are finished from this point forward.
If at any time waiting seems to be too long, you are more than welcome to ask for a refund. So long as I have not started your commission, I will 100% refund it back. There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to do this, and I wouldn't hold it against you. Whether you choose to try and commission me at a later date when my accepted work load is much much smaller, or whether you choose to not buy from me again I will understand! (I know I might be giving a bad commissioning experience and you have my sincerest apologies if that is indeed the case, and I can only hope you get better experiences with others in the future.)
Whatever works!
For those patiently waiting SO MUCH LOVE AND GRATITUDE. I especially appreciate it and hope your commissions end up worth the wait!
(I would like to acknowledge that all art I'm doing right now is pretty much only commission work. I haven't done anything personal in probably over a month;; So I am in no means giving the lazy bird and thinking ah I will draw me something THEN do work. No way; commissions are my top artistic priority promise!)
Aaallllll that being said, I must confess the rest of this month will--again--be very very slow going. It's been getting super super busy at work--forty hours this week and the next and only one day off during the halloween week. Not a lot of time for me to do stuff @3@;;
During spare moments I will try to get as many drawings at least sketched as possible since it takes the least amount of time to do. Ugh, honestly I don't know WHEN things will really speed up--it'll probably just continue in varying speeds of slow--but I really am trying to bust things out as much as I can manage. (There are like 88240923403 personal things I want to draw, but am not letting myself do until I catch up fjsdlf -- all art work I do right now IS ONLY commission work)
Annnyyywa uh
tl;dr - I am forever slow with art, but am putting along and doing what I can. No one is forgotten. Reminder that refunds are reasonable to ask for with no hard feelings either way. Also thank you for being so very patient with me!
