Hi all!
I've been having time off a bit lately, so there have been some more delays.
A lot of my lead queue is still being handled via note though, so I'll likely
update in a batch once I've finished the few I've been working on.
I'm also going to start linking up Wips and delay reasons on my page,
an example is frustratingly painting the sky for
bluefiresilverfang
which has taken up a lot of time. I'm enjoying learning new ways to
paint clouds, but of course in the meantime the picture is hanging in
wip status. I tend to get these hangups often, and thought it might be
good for commissioners to know rather then noting them something so
unimportant or leaving them completely in the dark.
(I mention this because he's been head of my queue for some time!)
What are some things you guys have dealt with negatively while dealing
with artists or even commissioners, and ideas on how I could better
handle these things to keep everyone comfortable and in the loop.
I'd also love to write a compilation guide for starting artists, for sure
some really need to read something like that, haha!
Anyway, still alive and still painting for you, just a little slowly. ;w;

I've had silence from artists before despite seeing them post other stuff
(especially hurtful when they take on And finish commissions while you're still waiting for yours with No Communication)
It's like a relationship; communication is vital.
Also your progress bars on your page are nice and as you amend them as you progress through your workload it lets people know you're active and have acknowledged your responsibility for the art you've taken on.
I guess you could take the initiative to note people if it's taking a while especially over details like learning how to paint clouds (just so they feel kept in the loop)
But ultimately as long as you respond when queried you're doing just fine
They can't sit there sulking for a week and expect you to telepathically know something's up.
Meanwhile keep up the good work and the gorgeous art!
