Quick commissions update + THANK YOU
10 years ago
Current commissioners-- still working on your stuff every day! That piece I uploaded today was a large commission that I had to crank out all at once. The rest of you will still be receiving updates and WIPs slowly but surely. (:
I just got off my ass to sort my gallery into folders, and I realized I've only been on FA for ~2 years, which is wild. It feels like much longer to me. Running these commissions has been a learning experience to say the least. It's embarrassing for me to talk about, but those of you that have been watching me for a while will know that I deal with depression and anxiety on a daily basis; it can make getting work done a really fucking laborious endeavor. I still get flashbacks to when I first started in 2013 and I was struggling through an enormous queue of sale commissions. I think I would disappear for weeks-months at a time under the pressure? I like to think things have gotten better since then.
I guess my point is that I would never expect any client to deal with my bullshit schedule of updating my queue and commission progress, and yet I have lovely people who have been consistently understanding of delays and hiccups they should never have had to endure. I always want to express that I appreciate it so much, and I am always trying to improve to make your experience better and your commissions nicer. I truly mean that, no matter how slow my progress is going. The support I've received here on FA has enabled me to continue using commissions to better my skills and work ethic, and I am so grateful. My attitude towards sitting down to work is much healthier and less daunting than it was two years ago.
I like to project a bit of my personality online, and it's so frustrating that it seems like the only way I've been able to do that is occasionally posting journals and sending PMs explaining my mental illness. (Which I hate doing so much. I never intend to use it as an excuse but in the end, it's not far from one.) I'd like to post more non-commission work to my gallery. I'd like to stream more, but my internet situation is too shitty and that's not gonna happen for a long while. I'd like to chat more in general, but I hate casual communication on this godforsaken website. Maybe I can figure out a way to be active on tumblr, which is much easier for me.
In any case, I just wanted to say thanks and I hope to keep making more cool stuff for you guys! (:
