Don't mean to be that person, but doing raffles on Patreon is actually against Patreon TOS.

Yep yep, I know it!
There is technically no fee to enter and no one is winning something.

To make it fair on who I choose that month, that's where the random name wheel comes into play.

Clients email me their commission form as usual. (Off Patreon)
I gather the names and approve the commission idea. (Off Patreon)
I spin the wheel to get a handful of random names. (Off Patreon)
Clients pay an Invoice as usual. (Off Patreon)

It will be like my regular commission process, all taking place off Patreon.

Now with all that said and researching that particular Patreon TOS fact, I sure hope I've done my due diligence! XD
(And that's also why I am NOT claiming that if you are a patron, you'll get a commission. Patron does not equal getting art. But if you're supporting me on there, it's an extra perk that you can have a chance!)

Thank you for the heads up! Very good point. ^-^

Honestly I’m impressed you kept up that volume of work for as long as you did. Great to hear about the new prospect.
Oh, and where can I reach out to you? I’m up in your area constantly with my tf-sis Gwen and we should hang out. ^^

Thank you! I am excited to move forward with a new career! Teaching fellow furs has been a delight and it's growing. I'd like to expand there! Teaching peeps in our community, teaching at a school, and making tutorials for everyone! That is the goal. Much lighter work on my body. It's taken it's toll.

Email me when ya get the chance and we'll swap info!

I would love another comm from you but good on you for continuing your studies! And your health always comes first!!

Haven't touched base in a long time but I'm happy to see you're in a situation where you feel comfortable moving on some towards a teaching and mentoring role!

Hope the future continues going strong for you!

If you're closing indefinitely in January, will there be a chance to commission you before then? I would love to commission you once last time to complete that toon bunny project we were doing ^^

Even though I never got the chance to commission a piece of artwork from you, I have always admired your work.

I wish you the best of luck in your educational endeavors. And as always, stay safe. ;3

I'm really proud of you doing what's best for you and I hope it sets an example for others who work way too long and hard. <3 If you need to drop the costume piece we briefly discussed I completely understand and no matter what I wish you the best.

Thank you for your wonderful time and commissions you have done for me and I wish for you the best in these endeavors too. Gonna be following and supporting your efforts nevertheless!

Wish I had gotten more but isn't that always how it is? :P

~so I sure have been an direct follower of yours for years, never once figured break my silence up to this day, seen the very best of best come up by you and through your commissioners and for all them efforts and indescrible quality you poured into them results, in realization of their ideas or your full own projects, especially in spite of your health-named reasons there, you sure have my highest respect upon, knowing a handful of artists suffering from similar conditions yet regardless pushed themselves through and through never ceased to amaze me, and you sure are among those no doubt. :3

Your reason are all reasonable, understand- and relatable and I wish you very best on the path you choose to undertake eventually. :3

The only regret I end up having on things is I never rly came around ending up with a comm. project of my own there with you, no matter how it'd have ended up being, even if you're still willing to take on or me be able come up with something worthy of your talents and such in time, if either would be possible still with you there 'til the curtain falls.

In either case tho, again, wishing you very best and hope it'll lead to just as positive as you managed experience or do for all them years. :)

No matter what, your work will always be appreciated Hornbuckle!!! ❤️

Proud of you for making it this far! Honestly its been amazing to see you grow the way you have! The way you have changed and developed as a man has been fun to watch, and I am glad I know you!

You're just the best unicorn! And I am sure you will keep being so

Oh, goodness. I'm sorry that you need to close commissioning, but am glad that you're taking care of yourself and respecting your body's needs. And congratulations on your new career, that's great!

(<- Too intimidated to look for a tutoring session.)

Hey Hornbuckle I hope you do well in his endeavor and remember that despite what you have said about giving back to the community you have given to it in tremendous ways you may not have realized. I hope you follow your dreams to completion!
