Tallying Totals - The Big 100
5 years ago
"I have to ask you the same question people back home are asking about space these days. Is it worth it? Should we just pull back? Forget the whole thing as a bad idea, and take care of our own problems, at home."
So no doubt anyone who watches has notices I've been a bit buys uploading the past few days. I noticed I was getting close to 100 commissions by rough count, and wanted to see just how close. In the process of doing so I found a smattering of things I never uploaded to all my galleries, hence the catch-up. Now though, I should be pretty current.
As to the total: If you exclude mass pictures where I was just a part of them(like headshot compilations or the D.org group pics), count alt versions as part of the same commission, and sticker packs as a single thing instead of counting each sticker individually, I actually broke 100 already! By my reckoning, then 100th image is my recent Spring portrait here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/36154129/ . Of course, if you take out requests and only count things that were paid for, I'm not quite there yet, but I think that image is worthy enough of being 100 that I don't feel a need to track further right now. If you count stickers individually that blows up the number quite a lot, and since each group was ordered at the same time, they "feel" like a single commission(much like alt versions), hence my criteria above.
While I was thinking of trying to get something special for commission 100(and for a bit it looked like it was going to be one of my upcoming ones), this also takes any pressure there off the idea, or worry that my "100th" might get displaced by another one getting finished earlier than expected, or holding off on getting another one so that the "100th" wouldn't get displaced due to taking a while.

"No. We have to stay here. And there's a simple reason why. Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics, and you'll get ten different answers, but there's one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on. Whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us. It'll take Marilyn Monroe, and Lao-Tzu, and Einstein, and Morobuto, and Buddy Holly, and Aristophanes, and - all of this - all of this - was for nothing. Unless we go to the stars."
