A bit of a slow-down until march 18th
4 years ago
I've put a note about it in the featured journal I use to organise commissions, but probably good to do a journal about it too.
I am going to be online a lot less between tomorrow (25th Feb) and the 18th of March.
I am still taking commissions because I really don't have another form of income right now (and wow it's terrifying to watch all of my savings drain away), but as a precaution, I will not send an invoice until the final review stage, as there is a chance of me just straight-up burning out and I really don't want to leave anyone waiting on a thing that they've paid me for.
My current series (Request your own Adventure), is getting put on pause for that time, and I'm not going to be drawing aside from any commissions so that I can prioritise them. The next page for the series (when it eventually gets made) will be a 'freestyle' round (there will be no options to pick from), so you can ask for anything you want for the very obliging kitty in the box to do, or have done to her.
Hopefully, at the end of the period, I will be good to go back to existing without the giant problem that I have to deal with hanging over me.
And also hopefully, I don't lose any more weight from stress due to that.
On a slightly related note: I am considering altering my commission prices, as I now have a much better idea of how much time things take to do.
This would make them more expensive overall, but additional characters would be proportionally less. I've been trying not to increase prices as I wanted to wait until was getting more interest in my commissions. But, as I have said, I do not have another form of income (despite how hard I have tried to get a paid job), and honestly, it is very expensive to exist in this world even if you don't need to pay a wide array of medical costs. I am also considering switching to payments in USD.
I'm not going to alter anything at the moment, but I'd like to hear any thoughts about it - and also, if there is anything that I should add to my commission info that I have yet to consider.
Thanks for reading all of that
