More Bad News and how it affects the future
2 years ago
Alright... now that it is way past the deadline of when I said I would bring this update and I have finally had a chance to let the dust settle I get to have the "privilege" of delivering all the bad news. Because when I was first going to do this it was just one thing but now its two (just to complete the trifecta I guess :/ ).
Lets start off with the first part. Due to the nature of where I work I am on probation for a year (not to uncommon) and unfortunately one of the clauses in this probation is that I cannot have side jobs until after the probation is complete. This includes my freelance work (commissions, and yes I did get this clarified). Thankfully payment was completed for my current sfw commission just before I started so that one can be completed with no issues. However, there are still 2 more nsfw illustrations and a handful of sketches that have not yet been completed and I am left in a difficult position. Right now I have two possible solutions: one is that I cancel all of the current commissions that I am not currently working on in this batch (no payment taken yet so no worries I guess) and give priority to those who had been selected in a future queue, and the other is to simply put a hold on this queue until 03/14/23 when my probation ends (no work gets done, but again no payment is taken nor asked for). Obviously I hate both options as I love art and doing commissions is fun for me as it gives me a variety of characters to work with and try out themes I may not have thought of before, but unfortunately my new job actually pays my bills and allows me to have the ability to purchase new things (this is foreshadowing) compared to what I was making with commission work. With that in mind I would like to choose the latter solution of putting the current queue on hold until I have the opportunity to complete it. If you are a commissioner in this queue and you are no longer interested in purchasing a commission from me I understand. Any commissioner who wishes to cancel this commission may by all rights and I will not hold any penalty against them should they wish to apply for a commission from my in the future. I would like to offer a priority to anyone who does or needs to cancel from this batch in a future batch as a sincere apology for this. I never saw it coming and I hate that it comes to this.
Now for problem two. My current computer tower is currently down for repairs/replacement. BUT there is a silver lining here! I was able to pull off all current and previous commission files safely and store them on an external hard drive so thank fucking god for that... I have already reached out to the company I bought the tower from and they are looking to see if the parts are in stock to repair the damage. Obviously that is the faster solution if they do have the parts I need, but I have also put in an order for a new computer as well and for that I can give a rough estimate on when I will have the ability to finish my current commission and get back to at the very least posting art for you guys. Right now if the rush order goes through it will be 5-7 business days (probably 2-3 more for shipping) and if not then it will probably be 14-21 business days (same addition for shipping). Whether it be 7 or 21 though I will be a bit depressed for a while since I dont have my usual outlets for creativity and just relaxing with friends who are not same state. But as I mentioned before, at least the only thing lost right now is time and money, not the uncountable hours of work I put into my current and previous commission files, honestly losing those and all my reference images I have saved would have been crushing...
I guess that just about covers the bad news new and old I had to deliver so let me switch from problems to solutions... In the absence of commissions (and once I get access to a working computer be it repaired or new) I plan to still do art. While I cant make money on it I sure as fuck am not going to give up on one of the things that brings me some form of joy. So whether that be working on more personal illustrations or on the nsfw RLD comic I still plan on doing artwork. And while I cant make money on art right now, there is nothing stopping me from shaking things up a bit with possible free sketch raffles or something(anything to just break up the "back to your usually scheduled programming" that can cause burnout). Right now with the computer down and out for the count I think I will see what I can rustle up with traditional media. It wont be much but it will help fill the new void in my time an heart.
Well, I guess that is it... hopefully this is the last of the bad news I have to give you for a while... no I will not be taking donations. I make my money through work and that is good enough for me. I will very much miss doing commission work for a while but hopefully I can get my computer back up and running soon to finish my current commission and keep art coming out for you guys. Thank you so much for sticking with me.
If you are a current commissioner and need to reach out to me or have any questions regarding this please reach out to me here or on telegram.
I am not gone yet, not by a longshot... but some speed bumps turnout to have pits right behind them.
Thank you again so much.
