An update for all Posted 1 year ago
So first and foremost, let me get this out up front. If you're still waiting on a commission from me because I haven't gotten to your slot yet, I am still going to get to it. When I had opened the slots last year, I had no intention of things taking this long and I apologize. Of course this is why I never ask for money until I actually start because of how long things can take. While there are only a few of you left, I'm still sorry it's taken this long to get to all of you.

But to update everyone on what's going on. Long story short. I don't know if I'm okay anymore, and each day feels emptier for lack of a better term. I've honestly been operating on burnout for a while now among other things that have happened in my life. If I keep continuing like this, I don't think it'll...

comms are closed Posted 2 years ago
Sorry for not mentioning it sooner but yes, the slots have been taken. Now if I have not messaged you already, that means you did not get a slot. However I will keep any of the prompts that spilled over in case someone decides that they no longer want a commission when I start their batch but that is not a guarantee. Also I've gotten questions about payment, this is for all people who got a slot or didn't. Remember that payment is through Paypal only, I do not accept any other form of payment and I take those when I'm going to start a commission, I will not start something without that first. I'll be doing my best to keep everyone updated.

Commission Q & A Posted 2 years ago
Comms are opening up tomorrow and I've gotten a few questions I'd like to answer here.


Q: What time will the slots open?

A: I'll be trying to open them sometime in the evening somewhere around 6 pm CST. I know that the timezones might not work out for everyone but unfortunately I can't make everyone happy in that regard.


Q: Can I get multiple single images or multiple comic pages?

A: Yes, but please keep in mind that the price is per page/per image and for comics there's a 5 page max limit


Q: Are commissions limited to mlp only?

A: No, non pony, anime, furry, oc, etc is fine as long as it follows my general rules. Now if a character is super detailed or something along those lines, pricing...

Commissions opening next week Posted 2 years ago
I'm well aware that it's much later than I originally said they'd be open and haven't said much of anything. I apologize, things have been a bit rough on my end mentally and health wise, but I will deal with that. Rather than making you all wait longer, I can now say that comms will open on the 15th. No specific time on that day but it would most likely be in the evening, but I will make one more announcement and give a link to the commission form at that time. Now this will be the last set of comms that I do. But unlike the previous batches there will be a lot of slots available. I'm aiming for a total of 30. Be aware that this does not mean that I'll be doing all of them at once. my plan is to break it up evenly into batches of 5. After a batch is done, I'll take a small break to...

General update regarding the future Posted 3 years ago
I mentioned it on the recent uploads but just in case. This month was the final month of my patreon before I put it on a pause. I will not be doing any patreon content for the near future. The page will still be up should I feel it's time to bring it back but everything is going to be on pause so please don't go adding new pledges or anything like that. I appreciate it but I don't want anyone throwing money away.


Now what does this mean for the coming months? Originally I was intending on opening comms immediately but I'm not going to do that just yet. I'm going to give myself a bit of a breather to catch up on things like finishing up working for a mad mare and a royal lesson among some other projects.

When I do open commissions it will be a big batch,...

Q & A about commissions, upcoming hiatus and other information Posted 3 years ago
I'm going to break this up into parts, starting with commission information as I'm guessing that's more important to people. This will probably be a long one so that's why the commission info is first. Some of the questions will be ones I've gotten and others are ones I've thought of to answer.

Q: When will commissions be opening?

A: At the earliest, I want to say January. I nearly burnt myself out with trying to balance the previous batches with patreon art so I'm holding off for now. Should I decide to open them sooner, I will let you all know.

Q: Will the prices remain the same?

A: Yes, even when we get to 2022, the prices for the next batch will be the same as they are now

Q: If you're going to be on hiatus, how many...

Looking towards the future Posted 3 years ago
I've mentioned this on patreon but I wanted to mention this to everyone. Sometime next year I will be going on a hiatus of sorts, I don't know when nor do I know how long I'll be on hiatus for, could be a few months, could be a year. The thing is, I can feel myself burning out. This year marks the 10th year I've been taking drawing more seriously and I thought I would have improved more by now. That and as I get older I feel the need to approach my own life differently. I want to make sure I'm enjoying doing what I do rather than go through the motions. I can feel the fun slipping away and I don't want that to happen. This hiatus would be from almost all paid work and collabs which I will also be putting on pause when the hiatus happens. I might still do art packs that I've been a part of...

slots taken (EDIT SLOTS NOW CLOSED) Posted 3 years ago
Slots filled up almost immediately, so I'll get in contact with those of you who got them
commission slots opening back up tomorrow Posted 3 years ago
I will be opening comms again tomorrow, unlike the first batch, it's going to be more of a first come first served kind of thing. There will be 5 slots as well. Now let me make some things clear, I cannot do all comics. so I'm going to restrict that to 2-3 slots (depending on difficulty and if the idea works for me) Also if you're wanting any of my ocs in said commission that's fine but I will have final say of what they can or cannot be in. Make sure that when you give a description to make it clear and be sure to put your username and where I can find you, That part is very important. I will link the form when it's open!
