Commission List! Are you on it?
11 years ago
Good news everyone!
Remember that drive that stopped booting and took months worth of progress with it? A good friend of mine has been kind enough to restore a majority of my lost data! Despite all the losses and wait, I am still attempting to make good on older commissions that never got off the ground. While I am pleased that I didn't take any money beforehand, I am not pleased with letting things slide without doing all I can to make good on my word. I have been working on my backlog and have actually managed to finish a number of partially completed images. There have been a few people who have been less than cooperative, and I've had people (yes, more than one person) downright refuse to pay for completed work due to such a long delay. While that's unfortunate for me, I do not wish to name names or to let that prevent me from holding up my end of the bargain. If I owe it, I plan to finish it if I am able.
As such, I am asking for anyone who is or has been expecting a commission or collaboration from me to ping me and let me know if they are still interested! I have a list of my own and will be working through them, but until I can truly work through my backlog I cannot in good faith open up slots to new people knowing that I have folks still waiting for their product and I would be highly upset to let people slip through the cracks.
In addition to my use of online storage, I plan on keeping a visible list of expected projects to maintain order in the future to see to it that this sort of thing doesn't continue to occur. I really should have started this sort of thing sooner, and I appreciate the continued support and patience everyone has displayed. Once I get all my ducks in a row I'm sure this will no longer be an issue and I will be able to open up for regular projects once again instead of my collab slots. Won't that be nice? =D

You got talent. Good talent. Especially for someone partially colored blind. If someone wants to pass up a good deal on a good talent because they're impatient and didn't pay in a field where paying at least half up front is the norm, then it's they're loss. :)
