Haven't been able to say much lately, but I just got a PM from one of my commissioners. He was concerned about my lack of progress, so I feel the need to reassure you all that I'm alive.

I'm exhausted right now, so forgive me if there are typos or unreasonable ideas.

I'm going to be blunt. I'm tired. Very very tired. I've got two jobs that demand my entire weekend and a good chunk of my weekdays, as well as full time student status that drains all my thought energy as well as free time. I have been working slowly on commissions, but I see now that I've dug myself in far too deep.

Progress is slow and will continue to be slow. As much as I love art and doing commissions and sharing ideas (all great fun), I'm simply far too boggled down to be expected to produce with the same speed that I've been known for until I can get over the jet lag for this term. I simply dont have it in me right now. It's taking all I've got just to stay awake typing this out, and Hyena, even now, is telling me I should really come to bed.

I realize that this could be very unpleasant news to anyone's who's commissioned me, and furthermore I'm certain it's a bit damaging to my reputation. I understand how frustrating it can be to pay for something and then end up waiting much longer for the results. I truly am sorry for that. I have overestimated my time as well as my ability to carry on under the amount of stress. I have made a mistake, and I will do my absolute best to make up for that.

To remedy this situation, Hyena has agreed to take own chunks of my work load. I've spoken to one of my recent commissioners and he's agreed to be the guinea pig for some collaborating between the hyena and I. My part is currently done, and I've passed the material on to him. When he's finished I'll put the final project up here so you'll see what I'm trying to go for.

The linework is still all me. I'm still doing the concepts as well as the sketching and most of the inking. After that, Hyena has agreed to refine some of the inking (mostly just for shade purposes) and then do all of the coloring and the back-ground. If any of you have taken the time to check his page, you'll see he's far more talented with the brush than I am anyway. So hopefully the result will be far superior than anything I'd be able to produce on my own.

So please PLEASE dont think I've forgotten you or pulled some crazy PogoRoo stunt and run off with everybody's money! I'm working my poor withered claw off I assure you x.x

I'm really sorry about all this. Be it the whole situation I'm in or the sob-bullshit in this post. Today has been quite a day, and I really just need some sleep.
