Commissions opening in one week
6 years ago
Just wanted to give a little advance notice that I'll finally be opening commissions next weekend! Will be taking this week to finish off the few commissions I have left, but everything should be done or close to done by next weekend. I'll post another journal before then with full details, as I'm still on the fence with how many slots I want to offer.
The problem being I know some people have been waiting so long that I want enough people to get a slot, but I also don't want to overwhelm myself and bog down wait times by taking on too much, so I'm on the fence with how many slots to offer. The perk with fewer being opening again sooner, the perk with more being more people getting a slot for this particular opening (but it may push opening again a ways off). Any thoughts on this? I struggle a lot with not wanting to disappoint/leave out people, but at the expense of overwhelming myself sometimes!
I can consider taking a short queue if demand is high, slots will likely be a mix of FCFS and artist choice. No scene commissions as those are the big things I get bogged down on when taking them at the same time as speedpaints, but I'll likely offer both speedpaint options and pixel icons/sprites.
Thank you guys so much for your patience through what has been one of the roughest, longest patches of my life! I'm sorry it took me so long to reach this point, it felt like every time I staggered to my feet I just got knocked right back down by something else, but I'm in a good spot for now and more motivated with art than ever.

I think doing artist choice? Or mix some first come first serve and some your choice? C:
Edit: Also you could say that only people that haven't had a commission can only commission you this time around! - Just a few ideas that you can run through, hope these help :)
You've got to do what you're happy doing though. I understand not wanting to disappoint people but you have to come first in terms of your health and capabilities. Especially since you're just coming back from a long break. Take a handful of slots of commissions you'd like to do and work from there. Don't throw yourself into the deep end straight away!
Will you announce what day/time you'll be opening? I'll likely be at work and would love to be able to take a "bathroom break" to try to grab a slot!
Your art is gorgeous and I'm sure people are more than happy to wait
I'm still very excited for my last couple pieces from you <3
