Well! So -
I've been wanting to make this journal for a few days now, and I just have not had the time.
I have been busy, to say the least! What with balancing my commissions on FA to doing video work for bands and other companies!
I really just wanted to make this post to say thank you so so much!
Thank you for your patience while I deal with this long ass queue, and for allowing me to take the time that I need to create the images that you all so graciously pay for (and tip too! <3)
I have been a little stressed these past few months, maybe even more than stressed!
For those that don't know, I don't have a job. I make all of my money through commission work/freelancing graphic design.

It is a brutal work schedule. I never take breaks. I'm always working.
"If you do commissions full time, Why is it taking so long to get through the queue then?"
I'm getting through the queue slowly because 1: I'm taking time to also work on videos and art that requires I meet a certain deadline. This deadline is very important to me, what with dealing with music labels and demand in scheduling. Basically when things are supposed to come out. I understand how important this is because I am also in a band myself, and deadlines for videos, artwork, or anything else is very important to get completed as soon as possible!

And 2: I spend so much time on commission work, more now than ever to try my very best to complete every single detail and get it right as best as I can. I find myself saying in my head as I work, "This has to make sense." From the background, to the character details. I draw a door? It needs a handle, with screws holding the knob in place. (It has to make sense.)
I need details of rain, or people on the streets. It has to make sense. But, with every detail that I add into an image, the more that I personally love how it turns out, and so do my commissioners.

Basically it takes me days to get through even one image, at best.

I've been getting compliments saying that I've been so fast and so diligent with getting through my work, but personally, I feel like I should be much faster. I can't thank you all enough for your patience in waiting and still buying from me. Like I said, FA is my main source of income. I work so much that I find myself being guilty if I take a day off, which I'm aware that it's not healthy to think like that, but everyone in this community has been so kind and caring, that I continue on to provide work for everyone here!
I've gotten in a loop that I can't quite work my way out of, at least not right now.
Regardless of my struggles and the long queue that everyone continues to be patient with, I thank every single one of you all, from the bottom of my heart <3

I've been on Furaffinity since 2009 and I've only ever had 2 refund requests, and one of them scammed me out of paying me after I did work for them. The other was mad because I added their character next to someone else's character that they didn't like.

You guys are a blessing in disguise and I can't even tell you how many times I was stressed over my rent, or buying food for myself, and out of nowhere, someone buys my art and it just helps me so much. I'm sure a lot of you know who you are <3

Anyways! I'm going to continue working! The queue is huge, but please be patient with me! I'm doing my best with the time that I have, and I will absolutely get to your piece if you've purchased something from me in time! Thank you all so much. You're the best <3 <3
