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.

(ps: been thinking about becoming a supporter just so I can change my current name here so I can be consistence across all platform, there are issues I'd have with urls of my works here that I've shared that I worry might require a lot of work to reshare, but I'm considering it.)

"I Opened up requests as well as Commissions. I initially had the pic of my rules and pricings here... but the quality of the upload into this post was bad... Check out My full Commissions and Requests Rules in this link. I'll update this post to when ever anyone requests are confirmed to be in the work. Slots spots are anonymous, only one request per person at a time, and the request slot extends across different platforms."

Update (Feb 28, 2025):

Round 1 of Commissions and Requests is finished. Thank to all who took part, until next time. Any commissions / requests that was already in the work will be finished or have been finished.

I'm nearly done with my break. I will resume taking requests, and even open commissions, When I'm Back. I'll start acceptings again on Jan 8th, Oh and Happy Belated New Years, 2025! looking forwards to good things!

Hey,

If you're still following what I do. I appreciate the support and interest in what I draw. Really I Do! Here I am currently with the fans count of 69 (that old funny number!) and A lot of peeps who liked what I do, I notices you and I thank you!

To those who were thinking of asking me for free requests soon or later. know I'm planning a break from accepting any free request for all of December coming up... and one week into January (Dec 1, 2024- Jan 7, 2025). Currently I'm trying to finish up current requests and after that I'm gonna take a break from free requests. Gotta make more times to be more physically active IRL.

But rest assure I may accept free request after the break is over. Thanks for reading.
