Next opening for icons may be delayed
7 years ago
I just want to warn everyone that my next opening for Monster Hunter icons may be a bit delayed.
I originally intended to open for another round of 10 icons.. I think I took 6 before closing due to some unforeseen life stress.
I work a full time job in addition to art (as a vet tech at an animal hospital), and our work schedule has been completely out of whack since the practice owner suddenly ended up in the hospital. We're all working long hours and having crazy days because we are short-staffed without our second veterinarian to help see patients. It's been a bit nuts.
I am trying extremely hard to be the type of artist that I've always looked up to. I want to keep in contact with my commissioners, and I want to deliver my art in a timely manner. Unfortunately, I feel that if I continue taking commissions at this point in time, I will be unable to live up to that standard because there is simply too much going on in my life right now. I don't want to make people wait, because I'm unable to give an accurate guesstimate on when I will be able to work on things.
So, until life calms down and I can feel confident that I have the time to dedicate to art again, I will be closed for a small while. This is certainly not a forever thing! Just until life gets a little more manageable and I can assure that I can stay on track on still delivering art with a fairly quick turn-around time.
My queue currently only has 2 icons left on it, and those are getting completed this weekend while I have off, so no worries if you are waiting on art! I want everything done so that I can feel okay with the small break (ie. no one waiting on art while I am busy being stressed about life!).
ALSO, I have a couple of other ideas for commissions I may practice on in my down-time, once my queue is cleared and work stops being so busy! So when I prepare to open again, I may have a couple more options on there for commission types! Huzzah! So at least there is that to look forward to! C:
Thank you everyone, for being so understanding; and my sincerest apologies to anyone who was looking to grab a slot in the near future. I promise I will open back up again as soon as I am able, and will announce it here when that happens!

Those changes throw so much off, holy heck. But it'll get better once the dust settles and everything goes back to normal.
I hope to see you back, but take time for yourself with long hours! ♡
But thank you so much! I'm really hoping I'll be able to come back to the commission world soon. I was having a lot of fun with it, and it's refreshing to draw characters that are not my small collective. <3
