Bengal Fox Stickers WIP + Ramble + Commission Update
🕑 Added 2023-11-25 20:20:20 +0000 UTCThese guys are in the works! Hoping to get them completed by today and posted by tomorrow.
I do apologize for the delays the past few months. I feel like I've hit a wall when it comes to creating these packs. I've struggled a bit with this pack because every idea I could think of, I've already drawn before. I am really appreciative of those who fill out the idea form, it does give my own brain a bit of rest. But the struggle I've been having is making the stickers unique to the species of animal without being too repetitive compared to other packs. Just haven't been as motivated to get through these I guess? Think I've been going through a bit of burnout, or just losing the drive. BUT do know that I absolutely put everything into these stickers, and there's definitely some in this pack that I'm pumped about.
Lately I've been chewing on some ideas to help manage the burnout feeling. Might start splitting up the packs into 6 stickers. Two small packs twice a month might be more manageable time wise than one large pack. Might be a way to get more of a variety of animals drawn up instead of a few unique species a year. And revisit some older packs as well.
I also have some ideas for just other bases that I'd love to create but I've been struggling with the whole, parallelization by perfection deal. Spend so much time wanting it to be perfect that the project just never gets done. As it be. One day though, you'll all get a ref base I swear!
And as for the burnout, I'm trying to dive into different avenues of inspiration. Different hobbies and skill sets seem to play into generating new ideas. But that all takes up some time which has also been feeding into delays. So I apologize for the slower turn out regarding everything recently. And hopefully I'll be back on top of everything soon.
Commission Update: Commissions remain Closed Sunday, 11/26
That all being said, I'm going to stay closed tomorrow. Have a few you left in the queue and I'd like to just catch up on all patreon bases this week. And sometime in December I'll open for Refsheet commissions. I don't really want to do any Character Drawings or Icons right now so there won't be any openings for those anytime soon. If you became a patreon solely for those two commission types, let me know and I'll refund you for the month.
Other Posts
I will make another post today with all of or most of the completed September commissions. And I'll get a poll out for the next two packs tomorrow. And the completed October commissions will be posted maybe on Monday or sometime this week or maybe just never who knows!

Please do take the time for your own health and well-being 𧑠I've seen far too many artists quit because they pushed themselves past burnout and I'd hate to see you lose your interest/passion because of it
