TL;DR on why my comms aren't open yet :'D
11 months ago
Hey guys, I wanted to address something since it's been bothering me for a while :'D
(TL;DR: Sorry my comms are still closed and thank you so much for patience and your support :' D)
I basically wanted to apologize for keeping my commissions closed for so long and for being so slow with the ones I currently have! I took a completely different approach to my job this year and I'm still getting used to this - and well, I'm a slow learner :' D basically, I started selling at conventions a LOT, and for the past, idk, 8 years? Weekends were my main days to work/draw, these were usually the days when I'd catch up with a lot of art, while now I usually don't have these weekends since I'm working at cons. I've also been working on some really time consuming projects in the past few months so it's been harder to estimate everything. So yeah, I'd like to really thank you for understanding and patience, I appreciate that a lot - and I hope I can reopen soon enough. <3 just no promises, since I've been teasing opening in April for so long and now I feel bad I didn't do it after all - but my waitlist is huge. :'D but I also don't want to make my comms unreachable like that - so please remember, if you're patient and if you're fine with waiting a few months and have a secure spot in my commission list - you can message me asking to be added to my waitlist! - Just please keep in mind it may take a while, but once you reserve a slot like this, it's yours, it won't be cancelled unless you decide otherwise, and once I have time for new comms I will 100% get back to you. <3
Taking care of everything in a small company isn't always easy, and adding cons on top of that makes me learn a lot of new things, but I'm so, so happy I did it - thanks to it I can meet so many of you IRL and it makes me so happy ; - ; it's also a great motivation to try new things and create some more personal stuff! I think it affects my commissioned work positively as well, since I use the new learned stuff in them as well. Thank you all for this. <3
I hope it's still visible that I do draw a lot, I work on your comms nearly every day - I mean, after all, I post art almost daily and I still have huuuge posting backlogs :'D but rest is important too so I do my best to keep all of this balanced!
So yeah, once again, huge shoutout to all of you, thank you for your understanding <3
And for Polish people, here are next cons you can meet me at!
1-2 June, CD-Action Expo (Łódź)
8-9 June, Małopolski Festiwal Komiksu (Kraków)
14-16 June, Pyrkon (Poznań)

I'm so glad you're enjoying going to cons and taking that opportunity to meet others and sell your stuff! Wish I were in Poland :<
I think you do draw a lot, you keep posting so frequently, sometimes artworks that must have taken so much time to complete, and I love seeing your art popping up in my notifications.
I'm glad you're still thinking about keeping it all balanced and taking some time for yourself, it's important!
If your current schedule feels fulfilling, you're doing the right thing. You know what's best for you!
Happy to read that you feel satisfied with the way things are for you at the moment, wishing you all the best, to you and your business! :)
