Future of Coms and the TF Wheel streams
🕑 Added 2023-10-09 22:50:06 +0000 UTCHey everyone! I've been meaning to make this post for a while now but wanted to be sure about some things and how to phrase 'em so, here it is candid o/

TL/DR: Wheels are not weekly or regular anymore. They may be done as a sparing treat. Coms are closed indefinitely and will only be done to people I reach out to for them. Ych's, adopts, or other such events like Jobslimes will be the only way to purchase art unless stated otherwise. Then after that it's some reasoning and straight talk.

1. The Wheelstreams will not be coming back on any regular schedule. The last 3 were, as stated back when I said I'd do them, an experiment to see if I'd keep the wheel up. Seeing as I couldn't do the 4th week I'd say the answer's clear LOL.
The enjoyment that I had with them around the start of the year is spent, and it's not something that a price bump or hour change could really fix. I take pride in my work and delivering quality, and I don't want to be giving people subpar work due to me not enjoying the process. Second is that certain expectations began to form after 8Ish months of regular streams that I wasn't quite a fan of, which leads into the point about coms.
2. I will not be opening for commissions again unless specifically stated otherwise. I still may do some for friends ect but this is a case of me reaching out to ask them. YCH's, adopts or other events (I.E Slimemarket) will be the primary means of commissioning artwork.
There's a few reasons for this, ultimately it boils down to what I enjoy drawing, what people want to com and what becomes a more efficient use of my time. I know that for furry standards the stuff I draw is t a m e lol, but I consider it nsfw enough to be on separate pages or even just FA. I've never been that interested in drawing explicit sexuality, nor really talking or engaging with it. To that end, I end up denying 90% of forms that I've seen anyway, so.
---------
This isn't to say the wheel will never come back, rather I'll relegate it to a rare event now and then, maybe a couple shorter streams over a weekend, something scaled back. We'll see.
As for coms, this is more of a permanent decision with exceptions. I enjoy doing adopts, YCH's or spontaneous events to involve a bunch of people (Like poolguard id's) over larger coms. Something that def didn't help this was the drawn out experience earlier this year regarding the whole war on feet. Couldn't get into great detail on twitter and I won't try to here since I don't wanna beat a dead horse, but the scale of how much I was being sent/shown, how many different people were doing it and how long it was going on for did not make me open to drawing any kink more explicit than recent spins for people out of fear of sparking something like that again. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't actually kinda triggered by it now. As always, I don't mind if you're into it, I just don't want to see any art of it or read any reference to it within my own spaces. Nobodies tried me yet but I was not bluffing about that permanent blacklist, and this ^ is why.
