Real Talk About Commissions (Patreon)
Content
Want to break some things down for everyone so they understand how the commission process works.
It can literally take me months to finish one of my own comic pages, though it might not seem that way, but many of my comics are literally worked on in pieces and then reassembled and put back together.
So when I work on commissions nothing is different.
Then of course all my health issues throughout 2019 and then having to leave home for two and a half months played a huge role in everything (not to mention work).
Right now I'm working on two commissions very hardcore, Zero's and another user whom I've been emailing.
If it takes me a while to get back with you, a lot of that has to do with me not being satisfied with the work before I present it to you.
However if you have commissioned me and are part of the discord server, please feel free to send me a add request on there and we can discuss it better in detail.
As of right now the disclaimer I'm giving is that zero has waited patiently for his commission and I will be focusing most of my commission effort on finishing it. The sketches of it are almost 100 percent complete (Which is a huge deal) backgrounds are fleshed out and now simply the only thing left to do is line it and color it.
In due time I will be contacting all my commissioners because once Zero's is finished, literally the sky is the limit and there should be a flood of commissions coming out.
I promise to make things right, as my good friend who commissioned the cloud comic knows-- these things take time and because of their awesome patience I did reward them with extra pages and full color despite them only paying for simple colors and less pages.
I know how frustrating all this can be, as you can see me pumping out personal projects while not completing your commission but just as my commissioners have a product they are waiting on, so do the people who have paid me month after month after month have content that they are waiting on as well.
I draw for about 8 hours a day almost every day of the week, not just for patreon but for my other job.
So I apologize for how slow I work, if 2019 had been a better year I think I'd probably have every single commission done 10 times over. But nervous breakdowns, a big move, leaving home for an extended period of time, massive job project, sick relatives, the loss of my cat and many other factors did screw everything up.
I do appreciate everyone who has been patient with me. Bless you all.
