Thank you all! {Update journal}

Hello everyone!
I wanted to send out a quick message to everyone so that you're all in the loop about what I've been up to and what I'm planning for in the future.
I was planning on doing another raffle for 500 watchers... but we've zoomed right past the milestone to almost 600. To be honest I'm shocked and amazed! I want to thank you all for the support. It really helps me to keep pushing through the art blocks and progress slumps when I know so many people are appreciative of what I do. I cannot thank you enough.
I greatly apologize for being so slow to get around to the raffle. I've done a few ych sketches but none of them felt right. I have a few ideas but nothing is set in stone quite yet. I'm planning on taking the next week to dwell on it and hopefully have something out up by the end of next week once I'm caught up with commission work.
Speaking of commission work, I wanted to highlight a few things. I'm changing my T.O.S. very slightly. It shouldn't affect anyone who's already commissioning me, and it's mostly for clarity and readability. The biggest change is that you must be +18 to commission me. Not just NSFW. This is largely due to the fact most of my work is NSFW and I only take PayPal which you must be +18 to use. If anyone has suggestions or concerns feel free to let me know. As of posting this, I haven't updated anything quite yet but it should be done in the next 24 hours.
Lastly, I want to talk about work hours. I want to have set-in-stone work hours from now on and I want to make them public for full transparency. I have been working these hours for a few weeks now so I know I can stick to it. :3 The hours are as follows:
10:00 PM to 8 AM Monday through Friday
My partner works night shifts so I wake up with him around 9:30 pm ~ And I tend to be at my computer by 10 pm-10:30 pm. I would like to not have pressure to work over the weekend since I have IRL chores and would like to spend that time with my partner. I hope that is understandable. Always feel free to message me outside of my work hours. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I may still choose to work overtime as well depending on where I am in commissions and how burnt out I may feel by the weekend.
As it stands I don't plan on having more than 5 commissions in progress at a given time. Feel free to pm me anyways if you see that the queue is full. I will gladly hold a spot in line for you. And my Trello will be edited to reflect that so you can see where in line you are. This is a new process I'm adding to keep from being overwhelmed and to make sure I get everything done promptly but without rushing.
I hope you're all having a wonderful day.

P.S. If you have raffle ideas, feel free to post them down in the comments. As I said, I already had a few ideas but more ideas are always welcome! It is a gift to you guys after all. So it should be something you all will enjoy. <3 Any other suggestions or critiques are welcome too! I'm doing my best to keep my work process efficient and fair but I'm only one person ^-^, and any help is greatly appreciated.
