Welp, I've reached the end of Round 1 of my Open Commissions and Requests. I thank all my followers, and those who weren't followers who wanted free request arts, for taking part in this.

To be nice but a little honest; I was kind of disappointed in not getting any paid commissions or paid requests. But then again I probably shouldn't feel too bad about that since I guess that would come from having a very small following and maybe I should've though the paid aspect through a bit more. Plus I do get that if there is a free option people will go for that rather than pay, probably needed to make the paid options have more benefits or something (not much of a business guy lol). but that okay, not upset by any means.

I'm not saying only having done free requests is bad by any means, and there were some free requests that I enjoyed doing and some that I really only had an obligation to do since I did promise free requests and I'm not that good at saying no to request unless they don't follow my rules and guidelines, and I'm not good at saying no to request that do follow my rules but that I was deep down not feeling that excited to do. Again not saying any requests I did was bad. I still did my best to honor the request I did accepts and make the best result I can.

This time around my break from doing requests do not have a definitive date for when I'll accept doing commissions and requests again. I'll announce when I'll do another round of Commissions and requests when I'm ready to do them again. I would like to take my break from doing requests to do a bit more large scale stuff like a comic series or simply doing more of my own art ideas. Course with fighting the feeling of burnout and fatigue can slow down my process like always, but I like to try to work through that.

With all that, thank you so much for taking part in My R1 of Commissions and Requests. Hope y'all join in for Round 2, whenever that will be. And thanks you if you follow and like my works.
