Hello everyone! I'm finally back and settled in after the convention. I got back home Monday evening, but needed to take a few days off to recuperate before I could really dive back into work. ANE was fantastic this year! I was in the dealers den, as I mentioned before, and I had a wonderful time of it. This was my first time having a full table, instead of my usual half, and it was positively wonderful having that much space for myself. I also finally got those wire cube shelves, and it made a big difference in my table presentation. I'll post some pictures later of how my setup looked. I did end up overworking myself a bit, and ended up only sleeping 3-5 hours a night to try and get everything done though, eh heh. My whole body was nothing but aches by the time Monday hit, and my voice was gone Tuesday morning. I'm not sick though, thankfully, and my wrist is already feeling better now that it's had a chance to rest c:

Thank you to everyone who came by my table! I saw so many familiar faces that I dearly miss between conventions, and met a lot of really great new people, too. I wish I knew how to express the exact feeling I get knowing I have people excited to see me dealing at a convention, to know that they have taken the time to put their hard earned money aside specifically to spend on my art style. It's really something incredible, and damn if it doesn't make me tear up every time I stop and think about it ;u;

So, commissions! Right now, I have my queue from before the convention, which takes priority, and now I have a queue of take-home commissions from the convention, which I will be working on with a soft deadline of two weeks, hard deadline of one month. I'll be taking a short break from doing stream commissions on Thursdays as I finish these. I still regularly update my Trello, so if you'd like to see progress on commissions or where you're at in the queue, that's the best way to do so. There's also a function to "watch" a board, which I assume sends you some kind of updates when I make changes to it. I've never watched a board myself, so I don't know the particulars of what it does at this time.

As for my general commission intake process, I am now using Commissio full-time to accept commissions (outside of stream commissions). Commissio has been wonderful so far in the months I've been using it, and has only gotten better with each update. It uses the same payment processor as Patreon (Stripe), and lets me manage my queue in a really convenient way. You can watch my account on there, which will subscribe you to an email list that alerts you when I open for commissions, too! Right now I'm closed, as I mentioned, but once I do open, that will be the quickest way to be alerted about it. I'll post a journal on all my galleries when I open as well. Please consider checking out this website if you haven't already!

And with that, I'm off to take a hot bath with some eucalyptus salts, to get the last of my muscle aches out. Take care, everybody o/
