Future Plans with art/commissions/etc

General
So, I've told a couple of people about this, but I might as well put it out there.
Once I finish the commissions I need to get finished (most of which are well over due Dx I'm so sorry) I will be closing them for an undetermined amount of time. Might just be for a few months, or it may be longer. But I need a break from them. This is, of course, speaking of real money commissions.
During my hiatus from real money commissions I will be offering limited commissions on sites like Gaia Online, Subeta, and maybe even Flight Rising. They may not be big and extravagant, but they will be mostly to help me buy those fantastic virtual items I just can't do without. lol Without spending a fortune in my real, actual, cash. 8|
I will also be playing video games without the worry of what I'm a and am not doing. Since I tend to forego that a lot simply because I feel guilty for doing anything other than owed work. :/ Yet it's not good to force yourself to do something if lacking in inspiration. (Because then there's the chance of the commission coming out looking like ass, and therefore not even being worth the money paid lol)
However, during this hiatus I will also be opening a journal or something of the sort and ACCEPTING REQUESTS. However, these will not be handled in a 'first come, first serve" type manner. I will basically read what people want, and then decide if I'm inspired to draw it, and, if I am, I will draw it. If I am not, then I will not. They will not be done in a timely manner, however. Since I'm handling them in a "if and when I have time" and "if I want to" manner. So, when I do accept them, I would appreciate if no one badger/pester me into oblivion. Dx I try just as hard on requests as I do anything else, but the fact that it's /for free/ should always be acknowledged. And I can just as easily not finish a request and block someone.
Also, I will likely ignore overly specific/detailed requests. You know, stuff like "I want -insert character-, standing with her face toward the viewer, but her hair blowing in the wind, and cherry blossoms falling, and -insert details that either are nearly impossible to fit into a piece, or don't really make that much sense". I don't mind specific in the "I want -character- and -character- kissing in bed" or something. And I don't mind fairly vague. Though too vague might not allow me to be able to draw it either. lol
At said time, I may also be doing art trades, and my general gift art. But I hope for it to be a time of rest and ease, and doing art for myself, yet allowing myself time to play video games and watch movies, and just relax when I'm not at my job. C:
So there you have it.
TL;DR: Hiatus from real money commissions coming soon! Requests will be opening! Doing limited commissions on pet/virtual sites! May be doing trades and gift art! Will be doing serious personal art again!
