Not REALLY a frequently asked question, but I have had several of my commissioners ask how their commission was coming along.
So here's ACTUALLY why I take so long to finish a commission:
Number One: Art isn't my full-time job. While yes, for a couple months there I was doing this for my source of income, I was very busy looking for jobs. So I don't exactly have all day to sit down at draw.
Number Two: I have shit internet. Like. REALLY shitty internet. I'm lucky if it'll stay on a solid ten minutes. It's usually flickering in and out, and it makes it very difficult to get references. Let alone even trying to submit them. Sometimes I actually have one or two done for a week before they get submitted, just because I have such difficulties getting my internet to stay connected long enough to submit it.
Number Three: My computer is also shit. The internal fan shut down on me about three months ago, and I'm using a mini desk fan to blow at my computer to keep it cool enough to draw lol But the odd time it still does overheat and shut down, resulting in lost artwork.
Number Four: It's kind of a cop-out excuse, but it still does validate. I have ADD, so my attention is taken by the drop of a pin. I'll be drawing, then need to go pee, and then I end up going for a grocery run, then when I come back I'm playing video games. I just solid-forget what I was doing.
Number Five: SOMETIMES I JUST DONT FEEL LIKE DRAWING ?!??!?!??? Is this a valid excuse???? I don't know. I'll sit down at just stare at a blank canvas and go "Nah not today".
SO YES. While my sketch commissions take an hour and a half at most to draw, it could take a month before I get my queue done because of the reasons above. I'm not trying to excuse myself for being slow, I'm just explaining why you might see me submitting daily, then all of a sudden I'm gone for a month or two.
When my internet is good, so is my work ethic. I'll try and work quicker, but again it depends on mostly my internet and my computer.
Anyways, there's your answer. So just keep in mind when you are wondering where the fuck your commission is, ITS PROBABLY ON ITS WAY. But don't be afraid to ask anyways, there's a chance I might have forgotten it.
Thanks :)
