IMPORTANT CHANGES for Future Commissions & Adoptables
11 years ago
I’ve been thinking for a while that lately I’ve been doing too much art for ‘money’ rather than the enjoyment of it. It’s funny that I decide all this around the end of the year even though I didn’t intend for it to be like some ‘New Year’s Resolution,’ but I guess it’s good to start a new year fresh.
I have a lot to say below, so please take your time to read cause it involves both future commissions and future adoptables by me.
I’ve always been someone who draws for myself and myself alone, but this year I was in a huge push for money for my Australia school trip. I took on A LOT of commissions and did a few adopts, which gave me a lot of stress on top of all my school work. I’ve done less and less art for myself and of my own OCs than ever and I miss drawing for myself. However, I do love to draw for others and the commissions are actually a lot of fun, especially when I get really gorgeous characters to draw. And tbh commissions have helped me improve on my art a lot this year too, like I’ve come a long way from commissions I did at the beginning of the year to the ones I’ve done lately. But I have decided that I’m going to change the way I do things in the future for the sake of myself and for others who are interested in my art!
Below are basically my changes in the given bolded subject… lol.
C O M M I S S I O N S
1.) I have decided that I am, firstly, closing commissions and will only be taking commissions by journal. ACTUALLY my plan is that I will only take commissions while I stream, so that the person can watch them as well as have it done the same day they pay for it. This probably means I will take less commissions, but it gives me less stress about doing commissions and I think people would appreciate how fast they would be finished. However they would probably be first come first serve unless I have preplanned commission dates where I’ll stream them…
2.) Other than in-stream commissions, I will still offer YCH auctions because they are a lot of fun to do and it’s probably the only time I’ll actually draw nsfw commissions from now on. I might have dates to stream those, but if I only do one a month I think I can finish them without a lot of stress.
I will finish all the current commissions I have, unless there are people who would like refunds cause I totally understand;; I might actually refund a few if I can’t finish most of them before Christmas. I’m terribly sorry for my slowness.

This is probably the biggest change and of most interest to people, especially friends.
1. ) I am making all of my species open to close friends and those I give permission to only. This means that anyone who I give permission to can make their own characters from any/all of my species. I will make a list of people who are approved to make their own, tbh it’ll probably mainly be the people who are mutually following me on twitter. If you are not sure or just want to confirm if you are allowed to make one, you can send me a note or something.
My only rule is that if you make your own and decide you don’t want it anymore, you cannot trade it to people who are not on my list! These are free for friends to make, but if you do not want it anymore I will take it or you can offer it to other friends of mine as a gift (since we’re all pretty mutual friends).

2.) I will not be making batches to sell anymore, but instead focus on more individual designs with a lot of effort. I don’t want my adopts to be something I do for money anymore and I don’t want to do bases and stuff. I want to make adopts that are really high quality and I’m PROUD of them, so much so that I want to keep them for myself. This means that they will probably be full body, painted, and might even have a little extra art to them. I want to try different things other than auctions or flat prices, like I think draw to adopt would be a lot of fun or just free raffles when I’m in the mood. Along with this, I am going to rework an adoptable policy that will reflect what I’m trying to accomplish (stated below).
TOO CLARIFY THIS, my adopts are now closed to everyone but my friends. Any of my adopts that are already out there are free to roam around and you may do whatever you please with them. They are yours to keep! But future ones will not be open to public as often, if at all.
Why have I decided this?
To put it simply, I do not have the confidence in my designs or the motivation to do many, especially in batches. I want to work on improving my art over making money from adopts. What I want from my adopts is for people to see the ART of it and the design second and be like , WOW that is a really nice adopt, rather than for the species or for the brand name. I’m not interested in the money or the name behind adopts, I just want people to get a design I’m proud of.
Another reason is that I really do like the world of adoptables, but there are a few things in the community that really turn me off from adopts. I don’t want my adopt to be used as trade fodder or bought on a whim only to be sold the next day. I know a lot of people don’t like this and find it frustrating, but I am going to try my hardest to actually avoid it and find a solution for myself. People may or may not agree with my methods, but I’m going to do what I feel most comfortable with.
Omg but anyways, thank you for listening and if you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, feel free to comment below or note me.
Just a reminder that these decisions are made for my own comfort and so that I can continue to enjoy the things I do. I’m sorry to anyone who disagrees or finds it silly;;;
