Oh boy, this is a journal I really didn't want to make. But I don't have much choice.
As some of you are aware, I had a fund raiser recently that successfully funded my new computer;

Worked out better than I expected. And arguably I got a large chunk of the owed work done pretty quickly!
But here comes an artists worst nightmare when it comes to creative work;
Burnout...
I've been working on solely commissions for SO long and at such an accelerated rate that I burnt myself out. Not so bad that I can't draw anymore, but I can barely even draw things I WANT to do.
It's taking me longer to get the rest of my to-do list done and it's making me feel pretty goddamn terrible to make people wait for me, especially since I'm going to need a long ass time to recover from this properly. So I've decided to start refunding some people when I get paid.
It will only be the cheaper stuff right now (really undersold myself on those $12 flats), the more expensive stuff might need to be refunded more slowly.
I cant guarantee that I'll finish anything I've already started, but I will guarantee that they will be refunded if I can't finish them. I'll even send full-sized versions of what I've done so far so hopefully you can get it finished elsewhere.
I'm sorry for the downer journal :'c I blame myself for taking on such a huge workload. But I want to try make everything right one way or another.
