Commissions problem.

Hey everyone, I'm going to need to take a break or reduce commissions for a while as I am getting incredibly burnt out and losing any passion to create my own stuff as I'm constantly working on other people's ideas. I may still do a limited amount of commissions but it would be through PayPal instead and I take on the ideas I like when I can. Any current pending comms or any that are due to land during this month I will still complete if you are patient with me, I am already behind on my schedule right now and that I why there's been a lack of consistent uploads too.

Sorry to anyone who wanted more stuff, I may still do your ideas in the future and I want people to know it's no single persons comm that has pushed me over the edge or anything, just a combination of everything added together. I also want to thank those that have commissioned me for a long time and everyone in general, though I might be burnt out at times like now, the commissions in the past and support has also kept me going and stopped me from quitting all together.

The main issue is that every picture I make takes so many hours, even something that might be seen from the outside as a simple and easy pose/idea can often be a lot more awkward than you think. I'm often spending 10+ hours for a 15 dollar commission and that's not even mentioning the complex two person stuff. Now I try to not see this as an hourly rate kinda thing and more just someone tipping me and passing me an idea, I would be creating something anyway after all. If the idea is something I really like then I don't mind so much, I can justify pouring hours and hours into it cause I feel like I can see what needs to be done and make it right, if it's something I don't like I'm just forcing myself to work on it and don't have any soul in it.

I wanna make my stuff as convincing as possible, so that it's almost unnoticeable that it's even AI and sometimes I can achieve that I think, but it takes a lot of work that people don't realise, and that's not just the basic fixing of hands an the usual but really getting that paint brush out and doing things the hard way with a lot of stuff, creating my own tattoo templates and symbols for characters to make them accurate as possible. (I still ain't seen another AI Kiriko pic with a correct headband...) I'm not claiming my stuff is the best AI. But I do want it to be, and for that I really gotta be into the ideas to put my heart and soul into it.

For ideas I do like they are things such as : World of warcraft stuff, mostly elves. Overwatch girls, mostly D.Va and Kiriko and few others, Nier stuff. K/DA Girls from league and Queen Marika.
