I'm now @   Leksi.

Decided what I am going to do with Discord.

For now, I am closing LiveArt Community, or LAC, in order to make it anew. Artists/creators who are already there can read how I am going to approach things, and how they can stay with LAC as it moves forward. I really hope to hear from more artists, as the possibility of it just closing entirely is still fairly large.

As far as any followers of mine, I will be creating my own Discord, prolly just called LeksiArt. Information about that will be posted on my new account, as well as other places. I will have that up before the current LAC closes.

Because FA has taken so long to implement the ability to change usernames, among other things, I am moving accounts. I have considered this for a long time, but put it off because I will essentially be starting alot over from scratch. However, this will also allow me to focus on the people who follow me over.

What I am going to do is reupload stuff starting from when I started drawing my own stuff. I won't be reuploading everything, as I doubt there will be any real benefit, but I wanna bring over TF related stuff and pics I still really like despite my skill level at the time.

If I start getting flak from FA, or just the fact that having duplicates starts causing me trouble, I will probably delete them from this account, and they will live at the new one.

Finally, thanks so much for the support over the years. I probably am well known by now for having issues or dropping from the face of the internet too often, so I really appreciate those who have stuck with me despite that. Also, considering what I should do with Discord. My old server is... barely hanging on, and I have trouble wanting to throw more effort at it.

Any input on what I should do with Discord is appreciated, or input on my direction in general. Heck, if you wanna pop in the comments of this journal for whatever reason, I would love to hear from peeps.

EDIT: Ah, I guess I should mention where my new account is:  Leksi.

So, as I have gotten off the street, and actually had a few streams where I was able to focus, I was able to get a better idea of the time required to do each piece, and it takes me quite awhile.  Now this is due to my skill primarily, and I know I can't expect people to pay massive amounts because I am slow, but I am getting better (according to quite a few people) and the difference between what I charge and the amount of time it takes is huge.

So, I have raised my prices.  Not much, but I have.  Depending on how things go, I may have to raise them again.  Now, for the people on my waitlist, they can choose to decline a comm at the new prices, and that's that.  However, from now on, if I have another price increase, the people on my waitlist will be grandfathered in on the old prices.  I will notify in a journal like this one whenever I have a price increase, and if prices go down, being on the waitlist doesn't mean you get stuck at the older, higher price.

Please leave your opinions in the comments on whether my prices, or a specific price seems too high or low to you.  For reference, here is my comm prices: https://www.furaffinity.net/commissions/thehil/
