Comm clarification + waitlist closed!
4 years ago
General
A wonderful client told me their concerns over a few things, and it got me to thinking, so I ended up changing some things! I want to make things as clear and easy to follow as possible for everyone!
First thing: The Waitlist is now closed! I realized I need to better think over my pricing for vore commissions, cuz the level of detail I want/do put into them ends up taking so much more time than I realize! I will not update the pricing until the last people on my waitlist are being worked on, however!
The "waitlist" is now visible on my trello as well. https://trello.com/b/AhxGtNZF/ravs-.....art-to-do-list (it used to just be shown on the waitlist journal)
There's at least one person I'm still talking to who may be added to the waitlist as well! But if I missed anyone specific, let me know!
This is my plan:
I now added friends to my work list, those who have shown interest for a while now. However, I won't start work on theirs until the last two older commissions are finished! I made that clear on the trello as well just to make sure. :3 I will update their info once I know what my friends want!
I also added the next person from the waitlist to the worklist as well! I'll message them as soon as I finish the last two comms.
The waitlist will be in order! Before, I wanted to do a mix of taking people from the top as well as if anyone else I had an extra want to draw (or, wasn't vore) but since they are all vore I'll stick to going only in order! It's all fine they are all vore, too! It will just take me a while to get through them all since they are all big commissions. XD So it can still take several months!
I do NOT plan to take on smaller commissions again (between the waitlist/worklist commissions), as that has shown to not help! It only added time. I apologize for that!
But, I still will want to test out stream commissions at some point! Those will just be a once-in-a-while thing where I'll take a sketch commission and must finish that day! Plan is one to begin with just to see how speedy I am.
But also: now until next year I'll also be working on personal art heavily (both for myself and gifts for Christmas). I want to finish reference sheets of my humanoid characters before Halloween, and then I have several digital paintings I want to finish for family and friends. I'll continually test out ways on how to work on my personal art vs commission work, as I'm trying to find a good balance! It just sucks right now with how busy I am with work (and other life things that pop up).
I was planning to work at Target again during the holiday season, but I may not because of the covid numbers blowing up again.
Instead, I may just take time to do more art in general (as my driving job slows down quite a bit in the winter). But for now it's nuts!
Also, I think I will have time to do art this Sunday! I only need Saturday to move my work station to my dad's house, and Sunday I can simply work on art while I take care of their dogs. And then the next week I am watching the dogs as well, which means half days at work! So I may actually be able to work on art during the week, too! But I'll still be cautious about it.
I hope this all makes sense! And I hope the trello will help more with making sense of where people are!
If anything is not clear, feel free to ask any questions!

It sounds like you're going to be busy for a while now. It's hard to predict when you're going to be open for comms again, so I'd say the only clarification that's needed is a heads-up whenever in the future your wait list may be opening again soon.
Thanks and be well.
