All slots are filled!~
________________________________________________________________________________________________

As I've already explained, I honestly CANNOT be doing commissions too much right now since I seriously need to deal with schoolwork so I can get home quickly, so I'm pretty busy with schoolwork and just not usually in the mood to take the time to draw non-personal things whenever I do manage to get a break. So yes, you WILL have to wait a long time (For Set 1, maybe 2 weeks, and for Set 2 most likely a month+) And once this last slot is taken, that'll be all the commissions for now and they'll be on hold until I have the time to do them!

(The next few paragraphs just explains refunds and whatnot~)

I do understand that it's a long wait, but all commissions will be done (I've yet to skip any commissions, and quite frankly I would refund if it takes much longer than the time I promise you and if you asked) so if you want a refund or whatever then that's understandable. The thing is, once I start doing commissions again I may or may not raise prices again, I'm not entirely sure. And honestly, I do promise you that your commission is going to get done, even if it's going to be a bit of a wait. Trust me, I've gotten ripped off by an artist I commissioned, I'm not doing the same to my commissioners. Especially since you've all paid me, it would just be fucked up not to do them.

So basically, if you feel uncomfortable with waiting like one person did, then so be it, I'll totally refund you! I just want you to wait, because I do want to draw what you've paid me to draw after all, and it's pretty interesting to make people happy when they see their characters drawn by someone else. Or, if you have any further questions about commissions or anything, just ask!

Now, these next paragraphs are just info on commissions you should know. If you don't wanna read so much stuff, then just skip to the bottom where I've shortened them up!

________________________________________________________________________________________________

NOW, I'll explain some commission stuff. First up, the commission slots.

The first 5 are priority commissions and the second 5 are commissions on hold, for until I finish the first main 5. I do this because I would like to only have 5 commissions to do at a time, but it would be a shame if I had to turn down someone because the 5 slots were full. So, now there are two sets: The first set are the commissions that I'll try to do within 2 weeks. After those 5 commissions are complete, I give myself a bit of a break period to do personal stuff or whatever is necessary, before I move on to the next set of commissions.
This way, I can take more commissions at a time without having to turn people down too much, and I can give myself a set limit I have to do before I get a nice break for my own personal art and the comic pages. Then, I can to the next 5 saved commissions! While people do have to wait longer for commissions this way, I seriously make sure you guys understand that you WILL have to wait, and Set 2 commissions are mainly for anyone who is okay with waiting a while for their commission to be finished.
I'll warn you if you're taking a commission in Slot 2 from now on, that way anyone who needs their commission right away won't be waiting on me.


Next up, the widget.

You pay me for commissions using the commissions widget on my page. I use the widget because commissions are honestly my only way of earning money, and especially through dA. I don't have a paypal or a bank account or card for said paypal account, so this is all I can do. When I DO manage to get a paypal, maybe I can start doing money commissions too elsewhere like tumblr or something, or sell crochet stuff when I learn how, but until then I have to use the widget.
All info for each commission is on the widget, and examples as well. You'll notice that some commissions call for additional points per character or shading or something, here's what you do: Pay the base price with the widget by ordering the commission, and the points are automatically taken from you and given to me when I accept your commission. If your commission includes any additional costs, those points can be sent directly to me - I use extra points for refunds or other things~
If you do want a refund, obviously it can't be done through this widget, so just note me and I'll do it!


Now, contact info and whatnot.

If you want to commission me, you can either: 1) Note me, 2) Message me, or 3) Use the commissions widget to order it.
1) Note: Note is honestly the most convenient way for me to save and organize my commissions, so it'd be great if you'd use notes! Of course you can choose either way of contact, but notes make this so much easier for me is all. It's a lot better if you need to discuss it with me too, or if it has a lot of details.
2) Message: If you'll message me it's okay, although it's more frustrating to try saving messages in order or accidentally deleting them or whatnot, and they aren't quite as great for describing your commission to me!
3) Widget: The widget is very good to use if you already understand exactly what you want, but if you need to ask about certain details then it is better to send a note! Also, if your description of your commission is lengthy, then I would suggest noting me before you submit the commission request! It's okay to use the widget of course, but as usual, notes tend to be easier at times.


And finally, order of commissions~

Mainly, I will warn you now, I WILL do commissions out of order most of the time. It's okay, I do commissions based on what I feel would be the best to draw at the given time. See, I have an issue with my style tending to...kind of change and fluctuate constantly with every drawing, so I tend to draw the commission that I feel would be best complimented by however I seem to be drawing at the time. I might also choose based off of which commissions I have planned out already, and which commissions I have no idea how to do yet.
So seriously, please don't get upset if I do them out of order! I do this to ensure that every commission comes out the best I can do - If I try to do a commission that I have no plans for, can't find a good way to draw, or just get stressed from trying to figure out all because I did commissions in order, then a lot of them would come out a bit low quality! I know it's a but weird, but I can't help it sadly.
Also when I say I'll do commissions out of order, I mean in terms of Set 1 and Set 2. For example, say I have 5 commissions in Set 1, and a couple in Set 2. I will ONLY work on commissions in set one, regardless of the order I do them in. Even if I do commissions out of order, they will ONLY be out of Set 1 still because that's the current set of commissions to work on.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Sorry, yeah my system is eh...kinda weird. But, it helps me out a lot, so it's what I gotta do.

Sorry for all the info too, so lemme sum it all up:

SLOTS: There are two sets of slots: Set 1 and Set 2, both have 5 commissions each. Set 1 is the commissions I currently work on, Set 2 is the commissions I'm saving to do later once the current commissions are done. The paragraph just explains the purpose of this.

WIDGET: Pay commissions through the widget; If your commission requires additional points, pay them directly to me. The rest is just me rambling about why I use the widget and what it's all about I guess.

CONTACT: Either commission me by contacting me through notes, messages, or the widget itself, although notes are best. The paragraph just explains the reasons for each.

ORDER: Basically, I probably won't do commissions in order, and that paragraph explains why you really shouldn't get too upset over it. Of course, I'll only do commissions in Set 1 first before doing anything from Set 2.
________________________________________________________________________________________________

OKAY, enough rambling. Move on with your day. :iconlazycryplz:
