Kinda downer-ish post regarding COMMISSIONS
a year ago
Nothings happened. Well nothing major.
I just wanted to say that once I finish my current ongoing Commissions and Patreon rewards I'm probably gonna take on much fewer commissions in general or stop entirely for a while.
My mental health is not (and has not been for a while) in a good enough state to produce commission work at a regular pace or within a reasonable amount of time. I've bitched about how atrocious my focus, obsessiveness, insomnia and fatigue is, but it is really not good and ends up with me taking faaaaar too long to complete work and it is highly unprofessional, very wrong and fucked for the people actually PAYING me to get work done.
I'll try and compensate somehow, but they deserve better than this.
For people on my waiting list, I won't be deleting the list just yet.
I'm not sure what to do with it because I have no idea when I'll pick this back up so like seems a bit silly to keep around. But I figured it should be mentioned.
I'll still draw horny stuff n vore n whatnot.
It'll just mainly be personal stuff, fanart or the occassional request/suggestion.
I might still do sketch commissions on occasion, but atm I'm not sure.
TLDR: I'm not comfortable taking on more commission work until I can be confident I'll be able to produce pieces at a reasonable pace that is fair to my customers. I'll be completing my current coms, but after that I am unsure how much paid art I'll continue to do, if any.

If there's resources available for you local, USE THEM, PLEASE. Serious.
I'm sure this makes me a hypocrite, me and my burned out fuzzytail, but ....meh... forget about me... you still got a chance.
Whatever it takes to get yourself right, do it.
If everyone has a purpose in life, then maybe my purpose is to serve as a warning about ADHD burnout.
Avoid at all costs.
Really do hope things get sorted out for you.
I still have plans, just focusing on getting me mental health in order and completing me old coms. Will see how things pan out.
IF You have support, USE IT... those are some nasties, esp. after you "hit the wall"... there's next to zero support after you graduate from basic education, at least here in USA.
ASD is MAJORLY complicated and will take time to untangle... symptoms and manifestation can be absolutely contradictory pending who you're looking at, Mine is HYPERsensitivity, like everything is turned up to ELEVEN... others I've seen, it's like they're living life at <50% volume. with their senses. Conversely, ASD is more of an imbalance than an outright handicap, so whatever you got, be sure to find your "superpower"... math, science, subject fixation, logistics, memorization, etc. Then USE IT!
Seriously, you'll know because it just feels good.
Wish I could be more help.
nah is good, appreciate the support n good words
Also good to know you found your thing. That's cool. Rock on.
...and luck on the med stuff and white-knuckling it thru the side-track school stuffs.
