Komickrazi Studios status - taking a much needed break
8 years ago
I have always worked on a queue system which has allowed me to remain open to new commissions by maintaining a running queue list. This queue allows me to stay open to new commissions instead of repeatedly opening and closing my commission list as projects are completed. I have been pretty good at maintaining my queue to give me time to work on each commission and keep a steady pace.
For various reasons I have found myself struggling a little to keep my head above water. Between my work and personal life I have found myself a little overwhelmed. Some commissions have been taking a little longer than I like and I haven't had a break in months. I often spend my evenings and weekends working instead of having any sort of social life. I like sewing and I love making costumes, but in the end I am not a machine and I think the best things for me would be to slow it down a little.
What does this mean for you?
For new potential customers it means I will be closing my queue for a short time to work on my current commission list and get myself back on track. I hope to not remain closed for a significant period of time, but I would rather not take on new work at this time and just focus on my current load. I will announce when I am ready to re-open to take new commissions on a regular basis.
For customers currently on my queue it means a possible slow-down. I will keep working as best as I can, but ensuring I focus on taking breaks (having evenings and weekends away from my studio, and socializing with neglected friends and family). By focusing on my current workload I hope that there won't be any delays at all - I will keep working and your suit will be delivered as promised on or around it's set deadline. If there are delays in your costume completion I will do my best to maintain communication with you regarding my work. I would rather have costumes made well and not at the cost of me or my health. If this is unacceptable for you, please let me know: you may cancel your commission with me and I will refund you any payments you have made including your non-refundable deposit.
Thank you very much for your understanding! If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask!

Of course as someone who has worked themselves to exhaustion I know how that can get away from you. It's important to take breaks and take care of you. Like me, no matter what I have to do that week, I don't allow myself to stress if I miss a session of work or if I just don't feel it some days. Additionally, I plan for break sessions to which they are to be respected just like a work schedule. It keeps it from becoming work. You need to play when you're supposed to play and work when you're supposed to work and keep them equally balanced. Regardless, I'm okay with a delay.
Make sure you take care. :)
