A Note on Owed Commissions/Patreon Art
9 years ago
Hello, everyone!
I wanted to make a public update on this topic because it's been awhile since I've discussed it, outside of replying to notes and e-mails from folks. As I've mentioned before, I've had an existing roster of owed artwork from both commissions and past Patreon rewards that I have been trying to work my way through. Unfortunately due to a combination of my current full-time job and my required work on my own projects (2 comic series + bonus art, the Whitney cosplays, plus the P&C pilot), I haven't been able to really chip away at the mountain at all over the past year.
Sadly, until such time that I can afford to quit my day job and work full-time on art at home, I doubt my schedule is going to open up at any point in the foreseeable future.
I am so grateful for everyone who commissioned or supported me on Patreon for having been so patient with me all this time. I feel terrible forcing people to wait even longer, but I don't have enough hours in the day to dedicate time to knocking out this backlog, so I'm going to make things right.
If I currently still owe you a piece of artwork, either from commissions or a long-overdue Patreon reward from my old Peter & Company campaign (from the days of the old Sketch Club and Monthly Art tiers), I will continue to work on them whenever I have the time to do so. But since my additional time is painfully limited and will remain for quite some time to come, I cannot give any sort of estimate on how long it will be until you receive your piece(s). As such, if you do not wish to wait any longer, just send me a note either on here or via e-mail and I will send you a refund via PayPal, along with any work that may have been completed on your pieces so far.
I hate having to force people to wait even longer for their promised art, and I sincerely wish I had more time to work on more projects. But reality just isn't granting me enough hours right now to get done everything that is already on my plate; when I have only a couple hours to spare in the evenings to work on my own projects (most of which have concrete deadlines I still struggle to meet), I just can't squeeze in anything else without taking away from time I need to spend with Whitney.
Note that this does not refer to people who are waiting for a signed copy of the P&C book. Now that I'm able to again, I will be ordering a fresh stock of copies to fulfill those orders soon. This is just applying to individual pieces of commissioned or Patreon Reward art.
So if I owe you art, drop me a line either way to confirm what you'd like to do. It weighs heavily on my conscience to keep apologizing to people for not having time to work on their pieces, especially when you all have already been showing such high levels of patience with me. I want to make things right, so just let me know where you'd like to go. I also will be sending each person on my list an individual e-mail/note regarding this if I don't hear from them directly within a week or so.
Thank you, everyone.

While I don't have anything in the cue (at least that I can remember) I know you'd get to it as soon as you can: family and income are first & foremost!
