Why I'm no longer accepting commissions/art trades
5 years ago
❤️╭━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╮❤️ Sooo, I stated this on my Instagram but never got the chance to update anyone here!
I'm no longer accepting commissions/art trades/requests, INSTEAD, I'll be accepting custom designs, design trades and doing more design requests or raffles!
This isn't official by any means but from this point forward I believe I'll start to address myself as a design/adopt artist!
Every year since I started taking commissions, I've had real highs and terrible lows, I could push out a load of commissions one night, and then after that, I would succumb to this burning hate for drawing, so much so that I'd get irritable, and I'd already be tired and ready to sleep by the time I finished one stage.
This has lead to a LOT of refunds since I've started..I've tried making changes where I only accept a few at a time, trying to make my turn around slower-- everythingg in the book, and to no avail.
But ever since I started doing adopts, I. Just. Love. IT.
But I was so scared to address myself as one, I felt greedy as I kept posting one adopt after another, I was scared people would see me as a money-grabbing design artist or something. It's been really hard to come to this decision but I figured it'd be for the best, I don't want to leave anymore bad impressions when it comes to commissions or art trades, and I want to keep myself happy too!
Soo, whats gonna chage?
Firstly, I will only accept commissions on VERY rare exceptions--and in very small batches (less than 3) with VERY strict turn around times, when I feel like it and know i have the motivation too.
Secondly, I will only offer custom designs as commissions from now on! they range from $35 to $40 and will resemble the layout of most of my recent adopts!
Third, I will now be open for design trades, and design requests/giveaways!

FA+

p.s. your adoptables are adorable!
I'm really in love with the adopts that I do, trying to come up with something new and constantly being inspired by new ideas is so exciting for me!
I always get so shocked hearing these type of compliments because I never would've thought my art would reach a point where others would get so happy from them, it makes me feel incredibly grateful, I hope to keep making more adopts that you enjoy!
You do design trades? That's awesome! I'd love to do one with you at some point if you're ever interested. ^_^
But making quirks and personalities for the designs I make is so much fun xD
I have some custom designs I'd have to finish first but sometime soon we can try!!
I'm pretty much always open for trades so just let me know if you're willing and able. XD
