Hey guys, I just wanted to vent a little and apologize as well. Theres been a lot of things going on lately with me and Ive been quite stressed and unmotivated. I think I've bit off more than I can chew as far as commissions go.... and I really hate to say it. To be brutally honest, I've now got to the point where I barely feel like drawing anymore because I owe so much. I really want to get art done for those that I owe it to but I'm no longer sure if I can (for the older commissions that are a few months + old/due)
Lately i haven't had any friends to talk to either and unfortunately my bf has had to deal with the results, which he doesn't deserve. He has been incredibly sweet and patient with me and I couldn't thank him enough. However that is a bit besides the point. For those who still are waiting art from me could note me it would be appreciated. I am considering refunds to clear off my plate a bit so I can start to enjoy drawing again. PLEASE don't take any of this personally alright? This does not mean I wont be willing to do any art for those who have not received it but some of the art that had been left unfinished is mostly my fault. I am still learning my style as well as strength and weaknesses, same with personal interest in what I like to draw. Some of the stuff I have not finished is usually due to me having issues with the drawing itself and taking on something that I might not be able to do like I thought I could.
If you would like a refund please specify what it was you commissioned me to do (I will remember what I was asked to do if it is mentioned) and I will keep track of the requests. However, I am also willing to accept changes in what you might want. If you would like to change a previous commission please tell me in a note what you got before and what you would like to change it to (please keep in mind I am NOT currently doing anything full colored. At least not until I lower my numbers on what is owed!)
Anything that was commissioned in December up until now, however, IS still being worked on. Just the same I am open for sketch commissions too!
For anyone who might be curious of the things I am more interested in doing (for future reference)
Monsters- I really enjoy monsters of all sorts, the more scary, unique or twisted looking the better.
Mechs/Robots/Cybernetics- I'm fine with drawing mechs or robotic limbs AS LONG AS a visual reference is provided! Although I'm fine with -drawing- robots or cybernetics I am not very good at designing them. Also please keep detail on them to a reasonable amount, I'm not entirely sure just how detailed I can get with mechs/robots/cyber parts.
Wing-it creatures/character designs - I have not really had the chance to do these, but I do think it could be quite fun to do. Possibly even as a sketch option with flat colors.
Things I'm -NOT- the best in (and possibly discouraged by):
Clothing/armor design - As much as I -love- armor, I am certainly NOT the best at designing it. I cant say i'm very pro with fashion either, both are a weak point of mine as far as designing goes, sadly. (solid visual reference DOES help however!)
Chibi/anime styles - I cant seem to do 'cute' very well <_>
Weapons/Vehicles - Same as the clothing and armor, as much as I love them, I cant draw or design them at all.
As far as trades go, I WILL be working on them once I can finally have a clear conscious as far as art goes. For those I owe art to for trades, I have not forgotten! Ive been lost in a sea of commissions and I am really sorry! ;-;

They are those who listen and accept the burdens of others, often saying nothing but serving as a sounding board for others to speak and let it out in a healthy manner, and giving you the moment you need.
This might help, and I would gladly listen.
Sin Eater... has a bit of a nice ring to it.
I need to work on making up a schedule for myself, I will probably use the time that my bf works to get work done, myself.
what i do is set the timer for either 15, 30 or an hour and work on one project in that time, when the timer runs out, i hop over to another one, thus it helps me keep working.
You're welcome to chat with me on Skype whenever or zing me a pm. I rarely "ghost" on Skype these days. If you see me on, please feel free.
Peace
Stress is terrible, and does make everything else seem difficult or terrible, but it'll be okay (: I hope everything works out for you and you start enjoying art again, just take a step back and do what you can <3
