So first off, I'm alive, sorry for the unexpected hiatus.

Second, thank you friends for all of the support and encouragement on my badge commissions, and just for the support in general! I absolutely have this unfinished queue and a bunch of WIPS to tackle, but first lemme explain.

Straight up I have a pile of notes and msgs which are still currently unchecked and I can only imagine you guys are thinking WTF SNEPBECK WHERE DID YOU GO / DID YOU HYPOTHETICALLY DIE / ARE YOU TRYING TO ESCAPE SOMETHING?
I will absolutely be getting to all these messages to follow up directly, sorry for keeping you guys waiting for a response for WOW 10 MONTHS??? WTF IS WRONG WITH ME

I got a new job successfully and started in October on the 9th, I'm finally getting the hang of it but it's pretty information intensive and it was pretty darn busy up until just recently. SO I GUESS I HAVE A LOT OF TROUBLE FUNCTIONING SOCIALLY WHEN MY SHIT HITS THE LIFE FAN and I just kind of dropped off without saying anything. I'm sorry for anyone who's been hurt or upset by this, it's not very responsible to open up for commissions and then just disappear (Mind you nobody pays for their commission from me until I'm fully finished but still not cool)

In all seriousness, if you're still waiting or art but you are no longer interested or you're just downright frustrated, no problem we can cancel even if I've already sketched something for you. If you DO want to still get a badge, then you have the patience of a saint and I'll be happy to chat it out, however I can't guarantee how fast the turnaround will be or how frequently I might be in contact (BUT I'M NOT JUST GONNA DISAPPEAR AGAIN)

The reason I was taking all those commissions as I bluntly described at the time, work was dropping off and I had to do something to make my bills while I was also job hunting. Thanks to y'all who commissioned me, I made it, and I still have my apartment and am still trucking along! I can't tell you how grateful I am. After all this however, I clearly see I am not a commission artist (Especially when stressed as fuq!) this whole badge thing is probably gonna be the last wrap for that, like ever in terms of doing bunches of them. Moving forward, I'd love to do more personal art and just get back to enjoying the fandom, maybe doing some art for/with friends and otherwise not trying to do professional business or produce batches of work. I try to be professional enough at work time to focus back on being a silly otter.



TLDR; thanks for commissioning me, i finally learned how to function at my new job, still gonna get in touch with people who were waiting for art, once that's done, time to resume fun otter-ing!



So yeah if you're on my list (omg not like a hitlist like the badge commission list) I'll be getting in touch with you over the next bit to see how you'd like to proceed with the art thing, and we'll go from there!

How's everyone been this year? What's up?
