About commissions, waitinglists and health
11 years ago
Hey everyone
sorry that I could not do the free icons yet and could not update as well.
But my health does not allow me to always keep my plans anymore.
If you want to commission me in the future:
Pls be aware that I might not be able to keep my shedule anymore. In 5 out of 6 commissions everything works perfect. No delays and I'm perfectly in time. But sometimes it may be that I'm getting sick and might be in bed for a week + recover afterwards.This will delay things. Of course it is not done on purpose but you should be aware of it - I think that's fair.
Don't commisssion me things that you want to gift to a friend in two weeks (everything over two months time should work out though). It might work- but i can not gurantee this anymore- sadly.
Why don't you do waiting lists?
I got some people that asked me to be put on an waiting list and I had to say "no" to them. This gives me the feeling that I need to explain why I would not like to do waiting lists.
An waiting list binds the artists to a thing or theme he has to do and this can become very unpleasant when you have a creative mind that just wants to do things that just inspired it. It can be blocking and demotivating when you always think "Oh I should doo this ...but I still have to do so many commissions and people wait for it."
But If I only take commissions in an ammount that I can regulate (2-4) I can gurantee that I can keep the motivation and I can keep the quality. Drawing without motivation is like a good looking meal without salt - meh.
No one wants an artwork that he waited for, for ages in a bad quality, right?
In the end it is your benefit again. Only that way I can provide the best quality and result to you - hopefully worth the money ;)
Second reason is that it would grow akwardly long. Most people expect to be like the 5th on a waiting list or unter the 10th but sadly that would soon not be the case anymore and the waiting time would be tearing (actually for both sides)
Also for the artists it's not a good feeling to let people wait EVEN if you know they are okay with that (at least this goes for me).
My health
Sorry that I don't give much information but I hope everyone can respect that I want to keep things private.
I can calm you down that it's nothing I can infect other people with or something that puts my life in danger. It's just really annoying and often painfull but it luckily goes away after a certain time.
It is also the reason why I can not join the dance contest on CFz this year and I can not say if I can at Eurofurence yet.
Also may be there is a cure may be not, my doctors and I are stil searching but anyways I will not loose my positive mind.
Simply because bad days also pass by and I have an awesome community and friends around me that make the good days stand out like bright stars in the days of pain and keep me going. Just as bad days, good days repeat themselves as well you know?
Thanks for your time
even more thanks for your support and all that awesome comments on my pictures.

I'm managing a long term chronic illness myself, so I completely understand. (And won't be doing any dancing at CFz because of it either.)
