Update- Because I feel it needs to be said
9 years ago
General
As a very select few of you know I have battling a rather crippling addiction to alcohol. I thank those who have been there since day one, when I decided to quit about a month ago, now. Of course, ups and downs are to be hand, and I feel rather guilty about the loss of drive I have at the moment for art.
I know what is owed and I am hoping to continue to slowly chip away at what I have. Unfortunately, (unless a commission) this will be done at my own pace, which may be much slower than I had originally planned. I do have a list of goals with dates, and each and every one has yet to be met. I really am doing my best but between dealing with the reason I turned to the bottle in the first place and school, art beyond simple sketches are coming rather difficult to me as of late.
Over the next week, I am on break, and hope to complete at least two of those commissions that are waiting as well as a really overdue request that is just begging for me to spend that last hour needed on it.
BUT unlike in the past where I used breaks to catch up on art, I am using this time to catch up on my sanity. I will be making a trip out to Michigan and do my best to just focus on my religious studies for about five days. So, starting next Wednesday I will have little to no access to internet, at my own choice I will admit.
I ask that I receive no private messages on this matter, just felt a tip of the hat to those waiting was more than necessary and needed. I do not feel it is right of me to leave those waiting on me to be left in the dark.
Again, commissions come first, especially if they have already been paid for, and I will get myself into gear for them ASAP. Beyond that I do what comes to me, when it comes to me.
Currently I have five commissions waiting, three of which are paid. Those are first on my list.
Raffles/ trades- I have two of these. These are mostly seen as just above requests, but don’t be surprised if a request gets completed before hand.
And to the last of my request que, sadly you will get the brunt of this, however most of these are half completed so there should be little issue. Currently I have a solid number of these that will be chipped away slowly but surely. I have had little issue in this front, but I will address this publicly as well.
THIS NEXT POINT I CAN NOT STRESS ENOUGH!
**Please do not harass me about your request (commissioners I feel have much more of right to inquire frequently due to financial investment). I have had a few issues in the past and have had to put my foot down and cancel the request all together based on constant notes as well as “taking miles when given an inch” asking for more and more from a request beyond the original posted opening. I do not wish to sound brash here, but I need to protect myself and those who are paying for work by me. I know in the past I have had an issue with saying “No”, but those times are over. If you give me the time and space I will gladly work with you. **
