I have returned from Anthrocon!
Before my con report and updates, would anyone be interested in renewing my DA subscription for me? In exchange for a year's sub, I can make someone a badge or something of similar value. If no one is interested, I'll just get one for myself when I get home from work (I can't seem to access DA's shopping cart right now, so I figured I'd see if anyone would be interested in a trade). No big deal if no one bites, I just figured I'd make an offer.I had a total blast at the con and met up with old friends and made lots of new ones! The trip was long, but once we got there, the con was awesome. There were good and bad things that happened, but the good outweighed the bad for sure. We're already making preparations for next year and we have lots of new ideas on how to make our little business even better. I can't wait until our next con (FWA '09)!

JakeJynx and I made a good deal of money in the dealer's room, so the trip was totally paid for. We took on a lot of fursuit commissions (which surprised both of us!) and only a few drawing/badge commissions. I don't have a lot on my plate (thankfully), but I will be helping ~
JakeJynx with the work he has. I'm actually quite relieved that things worked out the way that they did, simply because I've been trying to get away from 2D commissions for a while now.
As I said before I left, I will not be offering drawing commissions outside of conventions, Furbid, contest prizes, and trades. They take a long time for me to make and honestly, aren't worth making for what I charge. I know that may sound bad, but it's true and is very frustrating for me. I doubt this will seriously affect anyone though, since my drawing commissions had been open for months without anyone contacting me and telling me they were interested in something. So I don't think it's a big deal! But this isn't a permanent thing (I don't think), I just don't want to offer them anymore as a service. If you think about it this way, I can make a set of handpaws for a fursuit in 2 hours and charge $60. Whereas if I took on a drawing commission, I'd spend 6-8 hours trying to get everything perfect (proportion, pose, shading. etc.) only to be paid $50. You guys see my problem here, I hope. I guess I want a break from doing something that I don't feel is really worth it. I'd instead rather spend that time making 2D work of my own characters and stories, then use fursuit commissions as a source of additional income. It takes less time and pays more, which means I have more time to do art for me. Badges and ref sheets are the only things I'll continue to offer, since I have fun making those and don't spend a lot of time on them (and ref sheets are pretty cookie-cutter for me, it's really just a formula).
Anyways. Once these AC commissions are finished, I'm going to be working on more projects for ME. I have a lot of new ideas and concepts for the Murai, as well as ideas for my Love of a Lion story. I'll be helping Jake on the side with his commissions and will continue to make fursuit heads and pieces for sale on Furbid. Overall, the future is looking good, art-wise. But I should note that I will not be working on any commissions until next week, because I've been working really really hard non-stop for the past two or three months (in preparation for AC). So yeah, I'm taking a break this week and plan on catching up on much movie-watching and relaxing. Afterwards, I'm getting right back to work. I'll update my commission list with my new AC commissions as soon as I get home tonight.
