tl;dr: Commissions inherently stress me out and basically mentally prevent me from drawing stuff for fun and cutting my total productivity, so I'm COMPLETELY shutting them down.
So even though I've been publicly closed for commissions for a few years now, I have been doing some..."back room deals". And by that I mean I've just been occasionally doing commissions for repeat/trustworthy commissioners because I have a hard time saying no. And now I've created myself a big backlog of these because I have a hard time saying no. I always think I'll be able to do them in a timely manner, but for one reason or another it doesn't pan out. And it builds up and causes me stress, which prevents me from drawing other stuff I'd like to because I'm too worried about how I should be doing those commissions but I'm worried I won't be able to do a good enough job on them, AND IT'S A WHOLE MESS.
I'm not cut out to do commissions. I'm too impulsive/spontaneous. If an idea pops into my head, I have to do it like RIGHT THEN, or else there's like a 0.1% chance I'll get around to it. And when I have a commission idea from someone that's been sitting around for a month, I don't know when I'll be in the mood again to do it. But all that still doesn't stop me from worrying about it and making people wait.
Oh, I should also mention for anyone concerned about taking money and not delivering: I DON'T ACCEPT PAYMENT BEFOREHAND. So no one is out any money or anything.
So yeah, if I said I would do a commission for you, I'm sorry, but I have to cancel it. It's the only way I can clear my head and start having fun drawing again and posting more stuff; which will be better for everyone in the long run.
