Hi friends, this is perhaps overdue but I've been kinda on and off Toyhouse lately. I got sick right in the middle of a very busy time. My current commission roster is equivalent to working part-time (both in workload and pay, thankfully!), and I've also started on my degree.
I still check the threads I run, and I was really meaning to write my own response to my most recent one about culture and background but I posted that right around when I got sick lol. I'm finally recovering, but the workload remains.
Updates on the commission front.
- I've needed more money ever since moving to my new place. It's been important to my mental health, but going from all-meals-provided to funding it all myself has taken a toll on my finances lol.
- I'm a part of a podcast network that gives me freelance work as and when (it's a casual job basically). Ever since, people who aren't on that network will generally have had a lowered chance of getting a slot with me.
This second point doesn't seem fair to me, and I want to treat everyone equally. So basically I've decided that my commission queue is now permanently open.
I must emphasise that my turnaroud time will also increase--greatly--because of the fact that I'm doing full time classes at the same time + the increasing scale of the commissions I get on average. (While classes are in session, I can't really marathon commissions like I do during breaks, haha.) Each queue item can take me up to a week to complete. Please check the queue to get a sense of how long you might have to wait.
