Regarding commissions for 2021
5 years ago
General
Hello!
I hope you had a smooth start to the new year. I am currently finishing the last couple of commissions I need to get done before opening new slots.
About these new slots, I have thought about the matter a lot. After many years, I can now safely say that I prefer working on several smaller projects than one big project such as long sequences. Comics, sequences and bigger projects put a lot of pressure on my shoulders and they tend to burn me out rather quickly. It has also become a problem because when I say "I take 3 slots and will open again when they're done" but one or two of the slots are very long sequences, what should have taken a week or two to draw turns into months.
So, for 2021, and until further notice, one commission slot = 1 picture. I might accept to add one small close-up, but that will be it.
I prefer opening more often, with limited slots, rather than opening twice a year to take only a handful of big projects.
About the commission projects this year:
- Of course I will be opening for transformation art, sketch and coloured. I'd like to expand the species I draw a bit, as well as the themes (growth/size change, macro, clones, etc.)
- I also want to redo a series of custom character cards (this time probably with PokΓ©mon/Magic/ACEO sized cards). I plan to add more options for customization, have special slots for cards such as tools, spells, weapons, potions (think equipment cards). Like last year, once the entire collection is done, I'll have the cards printed as real cards and will ship them to commissioners.
Take care, and see you soon =)

Just enjoy whatever you do. Hopefully this year will turn out better then the last.
