Important Notice (Patreon)

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

On reviewing the month  of September, I found something interesting. It was my most productive  month to date, with 31 total submissions here on DeviantArt and almost  as many on my Patreon. Most of them are the same, but there are also  about 15 pics that are Patreon exclusive. This means that I am posting  an average of 1 pic or model per day. Sometimes more.

Despite  this, however, my commission list isn't really going down, and there  are commissions on that list that have been there since August that  hasn't been completed yet. I looked into why that would be the case and  came up with 2 possible reasons. 

1) I  spend far too much time on converting models in order to fulfill  commissions and request pics. This does not include model conversion  commission, but purely picture commissions. An example would be the  conversion of Menma and Himawari for 1 pic.

2) I spend time on the requests instead of focusing on commissions as I should. 

I have also been told that I am far too kind-hearted, and need to learn to say no to people...

With  that mind, moving forward in October, there will be some changes to the  rules for commissions and request. This will also affect the current  list. It's not thought out solely by me. I enlisted the help of a more  ruthless friend to assist me in these rules.

For Picture Commissions :

With  effect from 1st Oct 2019, only models that are currently released will  be allowed for commissions. If you have a character that currently isn't  released yet, I'll have to ask you to make a separate commission to  convert the character first, before using that character in a picture  commission. 

This works similarly to how my current  Patreon's highest tier, in which you can commission a model and a  picture at the same time for the same price as a model conversion and a  picture commission.

For requests:

With effect from 1st Oct 2019, no model conversion requests will be entertained. 

Picture requests will have to follow the picture commission rules and can only select characters that are already released. 

Requests  will only be worked on after all commissions are cleared. This includes  both the Patreon monthly due as well as commissions from other sources.  This is only fair to those who paid.

The list of available released models can be found in the link below.

I hope everyone would understand why these rules are necessary and adjust your requests or commissions accordingly.
