So basically this is what happened
11 years ago
General
Hey guys, and thanks to all who stopped by to read this.
So as my commissioners know my production rate has basically all but gone to a screeching hault these past few months, and heres what happened.
Around October I took on WAY too many commissions to prepare for a convention I spent WAY too much on, giving myself a que I wasnt prepared for. I spent practically all the money that weekend and then a little bit afterwards and left myself with a monsterous que.
Now a little before October I started not feeling like myself, which later spiraled into a Depression thats been ongoing today. My drive for commission work basically went down the shoot and I've been struggling for motivation.
On top of that my insurance bills rose to about 200.00 a month on top of my own 230.00 car payment and other bills I'm responsible for, so I havent had any money to myself for a while.
ON TOP of that Christmas rolled around, and I had to work constantly to make up enough money for everyone else plus myself. Struggling to hold up enough working hours to have money plus trying to keep a social life has been near impossible and getting commission work in has been even harder. The depression added onto that has made me only really able to draw personal art to keep myself from spiraling even more so.
So I want to formally apologize to my commissioners. I never thought I'd be /that artist/ to have MONTHS long commission que, and I'm doing my best to try and catch up. I've closed commissions for now while I try to catch up. I have no money for refunds right now but if you so request I will refund you once I get the chance. I've been trying to think of ways to make it up for you guys for how horribly long its been. I haven't been able to stop beating myself up about this and I'm really sorry...

I've been following your page and artwork for a very long time now, back when i think you were still growing almost! I love your artwork and style just as long and have received several commissions from you in the past few years also! Personally i know the effects of Depression can have on someone and I know it's not easy , especially around holidays, so I'll say this!
it's okay. We're all entitled to feel down and being sad, just know you got people who care for you and truly want you to smile, regardless if they're family, friends, or random people on the internet. Take as much time as you need, your artwork is always worth it, and if you feel like you need to do something , or give back more, to make yourself feel better one of the best things to to simple ask the public what they'd like , within reason. It's a thought or idea that might help ya feel better if you need that boost :)
Either way, you're an amazing artist and i always look forward to seeing your artwork, notes, or even journals. I know it's hard but remember you got people who care and enjoy what you create. as well as about your whole being. Smile when you can and remember you're AWESOME! Sorry for the long post too lol.
Signed, Kinen :)
Here's hoping things turn out well!
