Update and Info (For Commissioners)
9 years ago
General
Heya everyone!
Just wanted to let you know what is going on and explain my plans concerning commissions; if you have or are wanting to commission me, this info might be good to know!
Firstly I've been enjoying Uni a lot! I'm taking a course in Games Art, which is very much me! It's constant drawing and creating which is very good! Emotionally/mentally I've been... Unstable I guess is the right word. Winter has had an effect on me but I've also just been getting depressed and/or short tempered much more and more frequently. It may be partially stress from house hunting for next year, though I don't want to pinpoint. I plan on seeing someone about it but the annoying thing is I HATE phone calls. My issues will be another journal if I feel I need to discuss though.
In terms of commissions, I apologise for taking so long on them again. Mainly due to coursework hand-ins I've been pushing it aside alot, despite the fact that I've been meaning to finish things. I have however, the following plans:
♦ I shall finish off all the commissions I owe people. This may take up to a month or two but I'm aiming to get these done before working on anything else.
♦ Once these are completed, I shall open commissions again, but with a decreased number of slots; I shall be cutting it down to two or three instead of five. With a limit of one per person per "batch". I will continue with the rule of not opening again until all three slots are empty.
♦ For commissions I shall be focusing on my more painty and sketchy styles EXAMPLE 1 - EXAMPLE 2 - EXAMPLE 3
I much prefer drawing in these styles. It is MUCH more relaxing and calming; lineart gets very tedious to do, especially when all my pieces require it. It also gives me the freedom to experiment a bit more and push myself to improve.
♦ I am not going to STOP my current art style. My price sheet will be updated to my painty style, however I will still continue the old one - you will just need to ask specifically for it when commissioning. (xoda I am assuming you'll continue to want your pieces in the lineart style, so I shall continue with that for you unless told otherwise.
♦ I am going to HOPEFULLY create more adoptables and YCHs. These will allow me to draw more of what I want if I feel like I want to.
♦ Finally, weekends will be my dedicated time for working on commissions. During the week I want to make sure I focus on my course work. If I have free time during the week I'd like to have some time to play games as I've not been able to properly for months. While commissions are relaxing somewhat, they are still "work" for me, so I want to balance out work vs relaxing each day more evenly. This may mean commissions can take up to three weeks to be completed, but hopefully that will mean that once I start one a piece it will be completed within a couple days. I MIGHT occasionally work on them during the week but that will be entirely up to how I feel at the time.
That should be it. I will edit this if I realise I've missed something out! Thank you for your patience if you have commissioned me. I very much appreciate it, and I realise I'm terrible with my time management; I've started trying to fix how I eat, so next step will be general organisation!
Cya next time guys! xx
