Hey, everyone.

I'm sorry to say I've run into a problem that has happened to me before - I've taken on too much work. Specifically, I took far too many pieces for the birthday sale - it sold far better than I was expecting it to and I didn't cap it soon enough. As a result some of you have had to wait up to 2 months for pieces that were supposed to be finished within a couple weeks, and some of you are still waiting and haven't received anything yet. I greatly appreciate yall's patience on the matter, you are all fantastic. However, I'm afraid I'll have to ask for a bit more patience.

In order to deal with the fact that having so much on my plate is actually slowing me down (due to having difficulty working thanks to increased anxiety), I'm going to be putting the birthday sale pieces on the backburner for now. I'm going to keep trying to get through a couple sketches a week (or more if I can manage it) but I'm going to be putting the focus more on my regular commissions and few remaining Iron Artists. I have a number of things coming up that I want to, or need to, be able to work on, including a Patreon (which has been set up for months, but which I have been holding back on opening because it would mean more on my plate), a couple of calendars for 2016, art show pieces for MFF, con work for FC, pet site work, and so on. I've just got too much to deal with right now, and it's my own damn fault, but I'm trying to mitigate it as best I can while making sure everyone still gets the work they paid for.

If you paid for a birthday sale piece and you aren't comfortable with this arrangement and want a refund, please email me at faroreDOTnightclawATgmailDOTcom and I'll see what I can do. I'm not rolling in funds at the moment (due to some surprise expenses that took all of the money I raised with the sale in the first place, and then some), but I can probably scrape together enough if anyone really can't wait for their art.

I /should/ be doing a small sale on Black Friday, but no promises. I won't be doing a second birthday sale offer as previously planned.

Thanks for reading, and I'm sorry for any inconvenience.
