Fall 2016 Queue is Still Moving
8 years ago
General
Hey guys, just checking in again with another journal. You can see every so often I upload a handful of sketch commissions and then go quiet a bit, it's because I'm going through my queue here and then getting non-furry commission orders finished and posted elsewhere (like Tumblr for instance).
It's worth repeating again that last year... had a lot of $$$ shit hitting the fan for me, and none of it ended very well. I stretched myself way beyond my means, and wound up in debt both in money and in art. My queue was over 50 for a while, I had to drop out of school anyway (and still owe hundreds of dollars), drop my health insurance, ect ect, and each month I still have to take new work to make ends meet despite the queue of last year's commissions growing older. I don't say this as an "oh, pity my poor soul" thing, it's simply the reality of the situation, and I've come to terms with it. I'm doing what I can daily to catch up on the owed work, keep new orders from being this tardy, and still make my bills, and I've managed to get it down from over 40 outstanding orders to just 9 orders left from 2016.
Some of you have been waiting a very long time for your art, and I want to thank you for your understanding. You reached out to me in one of my greatest times of need, and I want to make sure you know how much I appreciate it.
You're all amazing and I literally have a roof over my head because of you. I remind myself about that a lot. So every day I try to be better and better of an artist for you. Thank you!
