Future commissions (please read)

Mon Aug 22, 2011, 10:22 PM


Journal

So, I always say something like this, and then decide later not to, but this time, I really think I mean it. XD This is a long rant too... but don't worry, a tl;dr is at the end for those of you who want to skip my rambling.

I know everyone is waiting for me to open commissions up again, but I'm a bit tired. I've been working too long drawing things for other people, that I really do wanna step back and be selfish for once. So, I am going to be taking a very long break from opening art commissions. This goes for mask commissions too (the blanks will stay open a lil' while longer for Halloween, but yeah).

I have a private to-do list of stuff I've been dying to try. Some of which, almost a whole year old! I've never had the time to do it. I want everything I submit in my gallery that ends up in your inbox to matter to ME. I want something I can be proud of because its my own. I love drawing your guys' characters, I really do, but there comes a time when you just get tired of being told what to draw.

I also have several collaborative projects in mind (in general), whether it be collabs, trades, whatever. These I haven't done in a while, and I wanna do more. Please, don't send me notes or messages asking me to draw on with you, let me decide. XD I do plan on doing another hat drawing for trades again though, so stay tuned for that. ;)

Will I open commissions again? You bet I will! And who knows, maybe I'll be so bored one night I'll take one commission at a time, I dunno, but I need a break. I wanna wake up in the morning and say, "hey, I literally have nothing going on right now, I can do whatever I want." Having commissions is kind of like homework for school, you have to do it, and its hanging on your shoulders for a long time. There have even been times where I've considered just refunding everyone all at once to get away from that feeling. XD But I could never bring myself to do it.

And now I bring it to the tl;dr part: Not going to open commissions for a long time (both masks and art), gonna take a break to work on my own personal projects.



So there ya have it. ;) <3 you all.
And yes, I'm still working hard on the current commission list right now, so don't worry, you'll get your stuffs. ;)

Good idea. Every artist needs to have time for their own works. I can't wait to see who you choose to do collabs with. It'll be so fun to wait and watch for the results.

I'm exited to see your own art too! I watch you for art, I can't afford commissions yet anyway, so I'm still happy xD (Not that you have to make us happy but...I am. if you wanted to know...)

You could have done your own art in between commissions. Or done your own before allowing commissions.

Don't burn yourself on this. :P
