Darkness at the end of a blinding light
7 years ago
So, as you can see by my pinned journal: I'm consistently getting railed with overdue/failed commissions. Not to mention my 3 consistently poor experiences (one of which ended up being blatant theft) with attempting to acquire a fursuit/outfit. I don't have a whole lot of positivity going for me lately.
The darkness at the end of this blinding and infuriating light however is that I've decided to acquire a temporary fix to get me through another year. It's not quite Carrion but it has a few similar themes that definitely pull in the direction as being an alternative version of Carrion; so I'll roll with it for now.
I genuinely hope that sometime in the future I'll be able to acquire something without being dicked around or flat out stolen from. But that may take a lot of time and a lot of patience.
What I did learn from this whole situation though is that from now on, no commissioner will receive my money without being able to finish a project within 100 days. If that means that my options are slim to none: I guess that means I will not be acquiring my finalized and realized dream of possessing a true representation of my character in a vivid form.

Currently im afraid of being that type of artist so i endeavor to finishing things as quickly as possible while only keeping a small set number of active commissions at any time. I refuse to become that type of person. Conversely ive been recently dealing with people taking advantage of not paying up front which has lead me to having to meet in the middle somewhere but thats another topic.
