Apologies about my commission availability.
11 years ago
This probably isn't any peppier journal to follow my previous one a few weeks ago, but I feel the need to say that I do sincerely apologize for the fact that I barely open for commissions anytime out of the summer. And even then, I'm not open to stay open to accept new ones for more than two weeks do to too many of them that I receive.
It probably defeats the purpose when I don't open up throughout the year, and I know it even frustrates people that are interested to keep them waiting for so long, yet possibly not a commission done if I run out of time/slots in the summer. But, given school work taking up my evenings, I would prefer not to accept them, as I could not keep them as high of priority as homework. I also could not dedicate the majority of my day/time consecutively to work on pictures.
And a note on when I do make drawings, being them doodles or fully worked on pictures (whether of random characters, friends, even FPS art jams on Sundays), I do those because, to be honest, it's less... stressing for me.
Not saying that commissions aren't any less enjoyable than leisure drawings for me (because they really aren't aren't), but with the workload I sometimes find myself with, being able to draw for myself/others at my own free pace/time is a nice change of pace. <:)
I know some may say to accept limited slots on weekends as well, but, again, school work sometimes limits my free time. And even if I don't have any work that leads into my weekends/free days, I would like to have that bit of time to myself to relax, rather than have to jump into another form of work.

Apologies if this journal was a bit sudden, but after some comments I've received here and there for the past few months, I felt it would be appropriate of me to say this.
I'm really sorry if I've upset people for denying commissions for the factor that school work eats up my free time. I do try to open up for things here and there when I can, but it all depends on my time/ability/even my mood in my art. Just... the way I prefer to work is probably dumb. <X)
I am eternally grateful for all those that have expressed interest in wanting art from me, let alone sticking around with me for this long. I must thank you guys again and in advance for all the comments/thoughts I've received on my art (whether negative, positive, or anywhere in between). It boosts my confidence, my drive to keep going, and keeps fueling part of the reason why I keep drawing. I (as well as Momlando and my family in general) also appreciate the extra financial help that such interest helps bring in).
I hope to be more available as the years go by. Hopefully at least after I get out of school. <3

Take care!
Perfect. More time for me to catch up and work through some more of those tallies I have racked up from you...
Your art is still enjoyable when you post them.
And to be honest, if you did open, i'm not sure what I could comm XD;
School must come first, and the break time is just as important! You do what you need to. The people who actually respect you as both artist an person will understand.
Like that made any sense, I'll shut up now
Ever.
At least you have your priorities straight.
Hehe, you do what you gotta do! You don't owe anyone the privilege of commissioning you. Besides, you gotta give yourself enough time to de-stress. *hugs*
That sucks that people are making you feel like you're doing something wrong by not opening commissions.
Don't worry about them, worry about Math, and Tests, and Math, and Reading Quizzes, and Math. ^^
You keep drawing for the fun of it, and only open for commissions when you want to. Everyone else can just be patient and wait. :D
Keep up the awesome work!
