Commission Refunds -

Why? Because some of you have been waiting months and I don't think that's fair anymore. And it's not fair to take commissions ontop of ones I already have. Besides I haven't drawn anything. I'm not sneaking around making sweet love-art with other DA Watchers, I promise <3

So if you send me a note with how much I owe you, I'll even refund full for whoever's stuff I started to ink. Keep it as a gift. Keep horrible sketches too. And don't say I don't "owe" you anything because you will randomly get an email saying someone has sent you $200,000 via Paypal.

I just see people rip off commissioners all the time, by taking their money and not doing it and taking others over top of there's and shit and I don't want that kind of reputation for me. So I don't care if you commissioned me a month ago or a year ago, drop me a line and let me know what you paid if I never finished it for you. I'll send the money out two weeks from Friday when I get paid.

Sorry I fail at everything. I can't even reply to the wonderful posts you guys put considerable thought into because I'm worried that someone somehow will get pissed off at me or "Omg it took her three months to respond to that (fourletterword) her!" Or I don't know. It's gotten to the point where I'm afraid to draw what I want to draw. I have literally gone into a shamed hiding, shamed by MYSELF no less, because I just feel so terrible for the way I treat you guys. And then I don't want to disappoint you with terrible art on top of my poor social skills. *Lynches self.*

"So I run, hide, and tear myself up
I'll start again with a brand new name
And eyes that see into infinity."

*Goes back into hiding and just lurks to send out refunds.* :(

Good things are waiting for, while I don't have a commission I have had a LOT of artists have months before they get the commission done. Heck, I commissioned one artist in 1997 and I haven't gotten it in yet. But since she keeps in contact I don't worry.
I HAVE been ripped off, by big names in furry, too. So people do rip off, but in MY opinion a couple months isn't a big thing.

I'm willing to wait, as I'm sure a lot of other people are too. I've commissioned a lot of people, and I'm still waiting on them for 2+ years now. As artists, we understand the creative process and that it can take time. You shouldn't put so much pressure on yourself because of the people who've commissioned you. We, or at least I, want you to be happy with what you do and what you produce.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't care if you don't ever finish my commission. I just want you to produce stuff you're happy with, and mostly just you to be happy yourself.

If I had the money to commision you, and did so, I would be glad to wait a billionkazillion years for one by you! Don't feel bad about it, most people should understand. They know what it's like to have an art block, or be unable to get to a computer, or get their hand slammed in a car door, so I doubt anyone's as mad as you think! You should take your time, but explain that it's gonna take a while.

And don't bother to worry about the replying to posts thing. I'm sure most know what it's like to have too many to respond to, and would rather delete them all than spend hours upon hours of replying. I'm know I would.

Points for using 30 Seconds to Mars lyrics in your post.

aww, you shouldn't be afraid to reply to people just because it takes you so long. personally, as long as someone i adore replies eventually, i could care less, because when i finally see that they replied i am too freaking happy to notice how long it took them. you should just draw for yourself for a while, everyone loves to see anything you post, even if it's just something for yourself to enjoy and something just for you to work with, that's why people watch you in the first place. your personal chacters are so unique and your style is lovely and full of emotions, that's why i watch, not cus i'm waiting to see how you draw this person or my own character or whatever, but just to see what comes out of your head and heart next. *cuddlecuddle* i hope you feel better soon!
