Post #348

Hi everyone! I have an important #update regarding commissions, and especially my backlog! I'm mostly going to reiterate what I posted on my Bluesky to here, with perhaps some additional thoughts included. Please continue reading if you're expecting art from me. ^^ So, I've been thinking a lot in my free time and wracking my brain a bit on how to tackle my list. I have a backlog as well as a current queue list that I need to do. Right now, my gameplan is to prioritize and emphasize getting work done much older art in my backlog, first and foremost. I just really don't want anyone to wait longer than they already have there - so hopefully this is understandable. Next, I'll work on more recent commissions once most of the older ones have been finished. Sometime soon, and on works I haven't started yet, I will reach out to clients to discuss wait times and what you'd prefer to do with your commission, as it stands with current prospects and everything else going on. After I've talked to everyone, I will make a public queue! I wanted to do this for a long time. This will give a lot of reassurance to everyone, I think, and I want only to be transparent and committed to what I've set out to do for yall. TLDR: - Backlog first - Recent commissions - Reach out to clients and establish due dates, timelines, and/or refunds - Create and post a public queue Keep in mind I'm dealing with a damaging amount of stress right now, so this process alone will take a little time to establish. In the meantime, I'll be slowly chipping away at some commissions that I've had in the works for a while. Some final notes: I'm working on some adopts lately (see my last post!) to sustain myself and hopefully, not take on any additional commissions while this process goes on. I am really hoping they do well! That's what I'm thinking of doing right now, and while I know it's not going to make everyone happy, it seems to be the best course of action I can come up with for now. If you have any input, I'll gladly listen, too! Thank you. I hope it's understandable and reasonable! - Toofs ❤️
