Status Update (work, life, moving, ect.)
9 years ago
Because a few peeps were mentioning they were worried
Move
This past week I moved in with sererena and we've been getting settled. Today was my first day of sketching in about two weeks, as I was packing, moving, and unpacking. Things went pretty well, and we've been getting back into routines and whatnot. We got ourselves a nice little three bedroom on the upper floors of an apartment building, enjoying the breeze and the view. I've got my own office to work in now! Definitely feels like a breath of fresh air
Work
Besides the last couple weeks, I've been doing fairly well with catching up on my frankly ridonkulous commission queue. Been taking on 4-5 commissions every week, and attempting to complete 10-12 per week, so I've been doing at least double output to input. Haven't actually counted out how many pics I still owe (mostly out of fear) but I'm hammering away at them as best I can. I've still got everyone listed down in a private spreadsheet, so I'm not gonna forget anyone. Logically speaking, I -will- get caught up if I maintain the same pace. Might take a bit of time.
Health
Doing well! Serena's been keeping me in line with regards to eating healthy and getting exercise and all that jazz. This little break to move also assisted in cooling me off from a burnout I felt coming on, so that's a plus as well.
Posting
You might have noticed I haven't put anything up since... March? I'm still completing work as I stated above, but I haven't really felt comfortable posting in a while, mostly because whenever I do, I get flooded by my other commissioners asking for status updates, and while they're completely justified in doing so, I find that stressful, so I'll probably start posting when I get caught up.
Also, when I start posting again, it won't be here. At least not immediately. I plan on posting to Weasyl and FN a couple weeks before I post here. In the meantime, use the search and you'll probably find a bunch of new work from me posted by my commissioners on their galleries.
My other galleries are here for when I start posting again

DO YOU WANT A COMMISSION!?
Leave a comment below saying so! I tend to look here and on my twitter to fill commission slots every weekend
Alright, I guess that'll be all for now! I'll be attending Camp Feral and MFF this year, in case peeps are wondering about convention plans as well

I'd like an eventual slot, sure, but emphasis on "eventual". You got a lot on your plate already. ^^
I'll also drop my name for a commission slot, sure. Stay safe out there and Happy 4th!
welcome back strype
I guess this is the spot to say yes for a commission slot too, I know a lady who couldn't resist such.
I'd love to Comission you, got an idea or two in my noggin. One involves robots, one involves guns. I look forward to all the new art you post! Keep being awesome.
And good to hear a life update from you as well
I know your thigh-ups don't reach 1000 pixel res, but is that just a public scaled-down version?
Hope your day's good. I'm leaving a comment to say "would definitely like a commission"
youre very great to work with !
This is a longshot but I'd love to commission a piece of your awesome character Dom armoured up and charging into battle!
