Commission Hiatus Summary:
11 years ago
General
So I thought I would use this time to paint beautiful masterpieces and expand my artistic range while enjoying some peace and solitude over the few months of summer, and to some extent I have! But let's be honest here... I've made like 3 or 4 paintings and used the rest of my time to go up 12 levels in World of Warcraft :I (almost to 90! It's a struggle on your first character)
I have actually enjoyed my time off though, doing some minor arts every now and again and working my local job and working out and seeing friends, so I really don't consider anything I mentioned a waste. I will be interested in doing commissions again soon though.
For anyone whom it may concern, my final day I'll be available to work at my local job is August 11, so that means the 12th I'm going to be up and running for commissions again! I might cave and just say "screw it" and accept commissions now anyway. I've been pretty happy as of late and feel refreshed enough to work for the internet again (woo, go internet! you guys rock <3)
Commission work is this really interesting phenomenon in the universe where other people actually give me money to tell me what I should draw, and push me to push my own boundaries. Artistic freedom is overrated~ When given the openness to decide what to draw for myself, I apparently do squat with it (as displayed in my recent recession from all online activity, FurAffinity and otherwise)
Yes that was partially meant as a joke.
The real meaning though is that I enjoy commissions, and though I should definitely work on painting more for myself, it is never that I don't have the time to do so, I just need to try.
So, I suppose that I'll open up for commissions again right now. (I know, changing my mind mid journal entry and refusing to just change what I said earlier? Weird right?) I'll just post a future journal in a while to formally state that I'm ready for work.
Commissions give me the opportunity to paint for others, expand my boundaries, try new ideas, draw new species, and earn some pocket cash while I practice and hone my skills. I'm actually pretty excited to get back to that.
I should just remember that I'm allowed to say NO when I'm asked for the 7th reference sheet in a row haha >___>
Anyway, hope all is well in the world with you all, and I look forward to painting more for you all and myself in the near future, starting.... NOW *beep*

Im sure to write you a note soon enough, yes?
Glad you're opening for commissions again! Love seeing your work and the progress you make with each new piece :)
And woooo commissions! If I think of anything neat, I might just talk to you about it. Get your input =^^=
... And they're contagious. And makes me want to open comms even more! >w<
You make it sound like it's an adventure; and that's definitely not what i've heard. xD
Love your work, by the way! Fantastic page!
And you said that already, hahahahah~ But thank you again! xD
