Heya folks, sorry it's taken so long for me to address this, I've had a couple of people waiting to move forward with commission projects last year, and I ended up taking a break after my first wave of commissions I did, and then got busy with other projects but hitting a small burnout and then falling into this rut/mindset of feeling like I didn't like anything that I was drawing, and that my art wasn't good enough to accept and do these commissions in my current state. Like my anatomy isn't good enough, my poses are too stiff, I don't like my shading, I don't like how I use colors, so I just kept pushing it off and I just never got around to letting people know what was going on.

I think currently, in terms of the people waiting on my current wait list from last year, at the moment I would only feel okay doing commissions that are flat sketches, so that I can work on practicing and improving in poses, anatomy, and general framing of images, and I'll continue practicing shading/backgrounds in my personal art, until I feel comfortable and confident enough again to do more polished commissions again. But for now I really need to focus on just getting art out, even if it's only sketches, and stop trying to hold myself to a standard of only putting out fully rendered stuff.

I'm really sorry for those I got your hopes up with the promise of taking on a commission, and then not following through on it. Luckily I was at least smart enough to not take payment on these commissions at the time, lol, but I really should've been more transparent about when I realized I needed to hold off on them for awhile to regain my confidence.

Anyway, just wanted to give yall an update that I'm going to focus more on looser styles pieces for a bit and let yall know what's been going on, and why I've been a bit quiet recently. Acknowledging it already feels like a weight off my chest, and I've been doing some gesture sketches to kinda help loosen up when I draw and it's been really nice :')

Ah, the dissatisfaction that plagues artists near universally. You know it happens, yet it always feels odd to see it applied to creators of great skill.

Its okay. Take your time because like most artist we always have blockage that just messes with our creative juices
