Opening Postponed: April 11, 2016

Commissions: OPENLookit me everyone! I'm a graduate from SCAD! Well, technically I graduate in June, but basically I don't need to go to classes anymore. You think this newfound freedom would lend itself to opening in March like I promised, right? Wrong. There's two things that I didn't take into account that I feel don't lend themselves to opening this month.
1.) FWA 2016: It's the third biggest convention in the US, which means the fandom- including me- is collectively prepping for that versus trying to snag fursuit commissions from anyone, let alone me. If I had a pre-made on hand like Dencer to auction off, it would be significantly different as I could deliver him in-person to the convention (it's my home con, after all). However, because I don't expect most people to have any money or resources left over for buying a freshly-made suit along with attending FWA and having the time of their lives like they wish, it seems the stars aren't aligning.
2.) School: I underestimated the work I would have to do in these last two classes, which didn't allow the free time to dedicate to practicing on the little bits I feel I'm weak with. And the last thing I want to do is not be confident with any of the responsibilities that would entail making a suit for anyone. Holes need to be patched and I need to be better for you guys. Don't worry though; I'll have some of these "bits" to show in the next few weeks, and some of them will undoubtedly be for sale.
So that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Taking these things into account, the date I wish to open is a stone cold MONDAY, APRIL 11 2016. So, if anyone out there was planning on getting to contact me so soon, know that you'll have more time to save up money at the very least. Thank you for understanding, and for anyone who's coming on down for the party happening in two weeks, have a Happy FWA!
