Apologies! Commissioners please read!
10 years ago
First off, I guess I should say that Sakura-con was successful and that I had a lot of fun! Thank you to everyone who stopped by my table and said hello! I really appreciated it!
But besides that, the con really took a lot out of me!
Which brings me to the point of this journal --
I want to apologize to those I still owe art, cuz I think I need a bit longer to complete everything.
I don't really know how other way to put it, except I realize I really need a good chunk of time to recover and get back in the swing of things. I am working on commissions, but it's going exceptionally slowly compared to what I planned. I'm having a hard time motivating myself to do anything beyond a couple commissions a week. Clearly I'm not going to make the original goal deadline for next week. --Though I guess I would think it's understandable; I spent last month drawing everyday, (on average probably 8-12 hours?) between commissions and preparing prints. Then the con itself which, okay, I admit I am a shut-in hermit, and that much socializing sucks me dry. x_x
I don't have much of an excuse or reasoning beyond that. I really just need a de-stress period where I don't worry about deadlines or rushing myself.
I can say I /am/ working on my workload, though, and I will definitely have everything done within a month -- living isn't free, after all fjdlald I'll need to take on more commissions sooner or later, and can't do that until I'm all caught up.
But I understand it's already been a bit of a wait on me, and while I am steadily working on stuff, it could be another month before everything is 100% finished. If anyone is uncomfortable with this wait, please let me know (preferably through note)! I can try to bump yours up sooner, or I can refund you if you prefer. I do have enough money set aside for that, at least.
So I deeply apologize for the wait, and hope I can have everyone's understanding and patience.
All that said, I'll probably be in a sort of mini hiatus for the time being --only getting on to look up commission refs and reply to any notes commissioners send me.
I just don't have the strength to be social atm -- so I'll be getting back to everyone else when I'm done checking out for a while @_@

You're human. And it happens! Though I'm not a customer of yours--I do admire your artwork! I don't think you should
be apologetic--you're not running away or hiding. ^^ You're staying active. That's a wonderful thing!
Really the fact you are giving folks a heads up is super pro of you. A lot of folks I find are understanding as long as they are in the know and don't feel like they have been abandoned/forgotten. c:
So, no rush! Was good meeting you at Sakuracon!
I'm sure everyone feels this way too!
