Hi everyone, its been a rollercoaster of a year for me but one of my worst fears has come to pass, I have lost my mom.

Here is what I’ve been going through the past month

https://gofund.me/9e785c11

I feel a bit hesitant to ask for help, but any support, shares, etc. would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Hi again! It's been awhile! I am going to try and make an effort to upload stuff here weekly. I have a huge backlog, I hope I can stick to it! :)

Here are options to find me elsewhere if anyone is interested:

Commission Announcement Twitter!
This is where I announce my commission slot openings first. It's the only purpose of the account, so I recommend putting it on alerts if you want something!

⭐ https://twitter.com/waywardcomms

Main Twitter!
This is where I am the most active! I post/RT art I have done, along with everyday stuff!

⭐ https://twitter.com/waywardmutt

Patreon!
This is the best way to see all of my art! I typically complete around 30 commissions a month on average. That along with all sketches and personal art is shared here. I can't keep up with uploading everything everywhere so it's just an option to see more if you want! I also do openings for patrons only.

It's that time again! I am opening for a small round of telegram sticker commissions for December completion, emphasis on small! Preferably, no more than 10ish stickers per request (11, 12 is fine).

I currently have 3 packs to finish, 2 should be done soon. I don't want to come back to a heavy workload. So if you are not chosen this round, please do not be discouraged! The idea is to take smaller rounds more often so I can open more frequently :)

Anyway, if you are interested please fill out the form! I will leave it open for an hour or two, depending on interest.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1.....WyglQ/viewform


Thankyou for looking!

closing in 15 minutes, so 9:15 EST

Taking some icons! Info and examples are in the form :]

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1.....gTYyw/viewform

HEY SO Kiro and I made a new telegram group for people in our general area, since we still don't really know anyone. We live in NJ, very close to NYC. So general Tri-State area.

I am aware similar groups exist but we are mostly wanting to get to know people with similar interests kinda thing! I would personally like to know more artists in the area :]

But we like video games (mostly consoles), tv shows, anime, trying new food places/dining out (suuushiiiii), and general chillness. Also knowing others with dogs would be great since we have our lil Shiba now! Also this would strictly be a SFW chat!!

Umm so I guess just comment and I'll note you the link if you think we would get along! ;]
**As in, it's not just about location but potential compatibility

I got a good amount so I'm closing for now! Thankyou for all the interest!

It's that time again! I am taking some badge commissions for MFF! I will be sharing a table with clockstruckone in the dealers room so pick up will be easy this time! I will be taking a good amount so I'm not sure if I will be doing another round before the con, it depends on how quickly I get through these+other queue.

Slots are for MFF attendees only, sorry!

I am taking 3 types, Flat Headshots, Shaded Headshots, and Chibi. Fill out the form for what style badge you want and I'll respond to them over the weekend.

Hey again! I should be finishing up my last few sticker packs this week so I'm taking a new set for July/Early August completion! I'm pushing the turnaround time abit since I usually end up taking a few extra than planned..it can be hard to choose! I am also about a week behind because of my recent move and sick guinea pig, things should be back to normal next week though!

If you're fine with this, then fill out a form!

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1.....WyglQ/viewform

Please note it is not first come first serve, I do choose which ones I want to work on.

I will leave it open for a few hours! Kiro and I need to do a few chores at our old place and then we're going to go pick up Brownie the g-pig from the vet.

Thankyou!

Just going to stop here and knock out all the submissions I got! Expect invoices in the next few days.

Taking some teenie commissions! As stated in previous journal ( http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8283962/ ) I am finishing up a move! These are meant to worked on here and there in between my current queue. But turnaround time is still around 1-3 weeks!

While I will try to get to most, it's not first come first serve. I may jump around but will try to take as many as possible! I'll be sending invoices out until the end of the week.

Form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1.....Qp0EQ/viewform

Thankyou!

hey hey! Wanted to give a little update!! Things are crazy atm!

So after we got back from our trip to CA/BLFC (was fun!), we've been working on a somewhat sudden move this month. We weren't exactly planning on moving juust yet, but the cutest place showed up and we had to jump on it. It's super perfect for us so I'm very excited. But I have been the most busy I've been in awhile since last month weh. I'm behind on messages too, sorry.

It's been really tough balancing packing and keeping up with my queue. This is why I haven't opened for more than 5ish spots at a time. I'm still a bit behind but I am trying my best to not get too overloaded. But now it's getting to the point where I can't really put off opening for things.

I'll probably be opening for teenies later today. I wanted to do it tomorrow but it's looking like it will be a chore day. I'll be taking a good chunk, details will be in that post though!

Once we're all moved and settled into our new place, commissions will be opening regularly again! I would love to be able to do either weekly or bi-weekly commission openings. Just gotta clear out that queue first though, gonna keep working at it best I can. Thankyou to anyone on it who's been patient with me!
Time for more packing...never...ending...boxes...

closed thank you!! will be opening up for more or something else end of next week!

Taking around 5 standard icon commissions! Gonna try and do at least 1 a day in between my other queue. (these are basically first come first serve unless you don't have a ref or something)

If interested fill out the form!

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1.....gTYyw/viewform

Thankyou!!

I'm here! Pls say hi 🐶💕

got enough responses so I'll be looking through them later/tomorrow morning! This will be a very small round so I can't accept too many (a lot going on next month). I'll be opening again in a few weeks though! Thankyou for the interest!!

Hey hey! Taking a small batch of telegram stickers for June Completion, please fill out the form with your info if interested! Looking more for smaller orders this time around!

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1.....WyglQ/viewform

Thanks!!

Got up to 15 faster than I thought they would, thank you all so much!! I will be sending out emails a little later tonight!

---

Will take around 15 or so! Depends on the interest in each badge type :)

Would prefer BLFC con goers only, sorry!

Just fill out the form for what style badge you want and I'll respond to them over the weekend. Do not fill one out saying you will email me the info later, it will be ignored.

Time to give some updates!

Fiiirst off...I passed 15k watchers recently! Thankyou SO much for all the support I've gotten over the years. I'm very grateful <3

So I'm very close to clearing out my queue from my previous opening, they are mostly larger style comms so they are taking me a bit longer. I have a lot of really big unexpected bills on my plate right now so I've been trying to balance the workload with smaller ychs in between (and trying not to get too stressed over it in the process). So that's why they've been popping up more, trying to make progress but also keep on top of things. I appreciate the patience of the last few in my queue, thankyou so much!!

I will be continuing posting ychs primarily for the next few weeks while I try to clear out my queue. Another reason is I'll be going on a trip at the end of next month and I don't want to take another large batch, I'd rather leave with an empty queue! I will however be opening for BLFC badges soon!

As for future commission openings, I tried it a couple times but I don't really like taking 30+ slots at once. I think I'm going to break it down instead, splitting different styles of comms into their own openings and taking around 10ish slots each time and keep rotating. That way everyone gets a fast turnaround and it'll be easier to balance my days (and not feel overworked). I've been able to manage okay, but the daily pressure to stay on track hasn't been great on me. So yeah, going to try smaller openings instead when the time comes. We'll see how that method goes :)

That's pretty much it for now!

a couple days late but everythings all organized and stuff. Thanks again for all the interest, I took as many as I felt were doable for the month of march. I will do my best to stay on track so I can open again the end of next month =) Im thinking about incorporating a round 2 option next time. There were so many I wanted to take but don't want to overload myself. Not sure how to do that though. Anyway, heres the queue.

https://trello.com/b/U1KvZZbU/riley-commissions

Closed now! ahhh I got so many responses..its going to be really hard to pick ;; honestly if people are cool with a lil longer wait ill take some extra slots..

gonna start deciding!

Thankyou SO much for all the interest, its so overwhelming but I appreciate it so much ;; <3

Hey again! Commissions are officially open!

As a reminder, these will not be started until march! Need to finish off the last bit of my current queue first.

I will be taking around 15-20ish slots, possibly more depending. It is not first come first serve, I will be choosing which ones I will be taking.

Turnaround time: 1-5 weeks
