Man, this time I got into a very catastrophic video-game/work induced hiatus and I let at least 6 or 7 commissioners behind. My bad. =(

This next tuesday, July 18th, I'll get some vacation. I'll see if I can get those commissions done (if they still want it I guess it's okay if they don't though just saying…).

And, frankly, I guess I'm gonna stop advertising commissions. Getting stuck on commissions seems to be one of the triggers of me having some anxiety attacks and making me get away from drawing. Which is weird, since I don't think I ever had a case of someone arguing with me about me getting stuck on a commission but go figure what the other parts of my head are thinking.

I was gonna stoping doing commissions altogether, but I think I got an idea of getting around those anxiety attacks that may end up making a hell lot of people even happier. I am gonna take requests now. Yup. Free art requests, of the zero dollar commission kind. But there's a catch. I'm only gonna draw requests that I feel like doing and I'm gonna do them in sketch form, unless I really really love the idea enough to do them on color myself. That way, if someone plans to do a commission, they just ask a request and, if I end up doing the sketch, they can bribe me with money to finish it if they want. That will ensure that I'll always draw what I like and what I'm able and people won't theoretically get mad if I don't do a request. Or if they do I won't feel bad because I don't own anything. Nyernyernyerner!

It's not the best option for people who just want to commission thing but I myself don't think I can be trusted to keep a healthy business relationship with all these hiatus going on. I should just accept that I'm an amateur artist and do it amateurly.

Yeah, that should quell the storms of my brain, even if I end up doing a bit more of work. My anxiety thinks it's gonna outsmart me? Ha! I'll show it who's smarter.

There were other triggers for hiatus too like Persona 5 having enough girls in skintight catsuits to make me buy a prohibitively expensive PS4 but let's face it, I love playing games and it seems I can't draw and play games at the same time. If these hiatus are going to happen anyway, I'll just have to work around them. Compromises have to go.

And if I spend all my time on games and Netflix and every time I'm not on hiatus I spend only doing commissions, I'll never really draw just what I want to draw or proceed with my comic book. Dang, I could even do a visual novel now that I think about it.

So… requests, right? I'll set up a forum on my profile to have a public space for people to ask me to draw stuff. A word of advice though, I'm gonna tone down the fetishey thing a lot. It's not even that I wouldn't draw them anymore, but more because I don't really have things to show my family and friends. I mean, they see this exquisite piece of drawing board and know that I have expensive drawing programs installed but I never show them anything. Besides, I always liked my art more funny and cute than sexy and porny.

Let's see how things will turn out. Any suggestions and stuff? (Don't send requests yet though.)
