You could try reformulating how the slots work? You currently have the system that a single piece of art can take multiple slots (or that was the last I saw), so you could rejig it that 1 slot = exactly the effort of the most involved option, and also the max that one person can order, max one slot per person. Less involved combinations still to equal subdivisions of a slot, but once someone orders in that slot it's still full. This would make it that you might have more or less work with the same number of slots, but you wouldn't get the distressing appearance of one person taking up half the available slots.
I can see that working, yeah, but I would definitely have to lower the number of slots as well. To clarify my intentions with my current slot system, it's 100% for my own sanity, it helps me gauge and regulate how much work I'm taking on at once, haha.
That's true, that is the downside with price based slots. I think the truth is, it is probably me limiting the amount of work I am willing to take on in one go that's making it hard for people to get a slot, over everything else haha. Maybe I'll enforce a cool down so others have a chance, but that seems unfair to the people who buy a lot 😂

Haha, yeah I definitely get the idea behind it, I think it just makes it look a little more unbalanced than it is, from a customer side! o/
