On a more serious note. (Commissions)
14 years ago
General
Alright, so I was in the process of issuing a couple of refunds due to life kicking me in the nuts and not being able to pull through on commissions.
A couple of people have promptly asked for refunds and I was more than happy to oblige. Sadly, at this current time my bank, Chase. Was my only way of adding funds to my PayPal account.
However, being unemployed for eight months with no income has taken it's toll on my bank. I put some money into my account to transfer to PayPal. Instead my bank instantly took the money and put it towards my overdrawn credit card and has closed all my accounts until the card is payed off.
In other words, I can't give out refunds...
I still owe about $1,800 on the credit card so I need to do something else.
So here's what I'm going to do.
I have a lot of things that are going to require money here very soon. And more than likely I'm not going to be able to pay them all. However, issuing refunds to people who want it are my top priority.
I'm am offering sketch commissions. ONLY SKETCH! Until things calm down a little bit or I find another source of income I am doing sketch commissions. Mainly cause, I can spit out these fast and cheap. I'm only going to charge $10 (+$3 for each additional character).
Every dollar I make will go to my refunds until everyone is paid off.
If you have already commissioned me PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS JOURNAL. I have kinda lost track of everyone and I don't remember who I owe.
Please let me know if you want me to continue on your pic or to issue the refund. I will respond back to your comment here in this journal to let you know that the refund has been issued.
I didn't want to rely on drawing to be my main source of income but sadly. I'm dried up with nothing left in my reserves and now my own bank has closed me out.
So that's pretty much where I said. I know I have burned a couple of you and I totally understand if you don't want me to work for you. I'm just a very stressed out man who is now starting to see the very serious situation of starving.
Please let me know what you guys want. I'm not going to accept ANY MONEY until the sketches are complete. I am notorious for not feeling pressured to finish a piece if I have already been paid. I know it's a horrible thing to say about myself but it's the truth. So please, wait for me to finish your piece, paying me in advanced is not going to get you to the front of the line.
So what do you say?

*hugs*
So I lost $80 for nothing.
Hell, that's two tank fulls of gas or two weeks worth of groceries. I'm just so tired of all of this.
Before I go blagging on and making a fool of myself though do you have any restrictions on what you'll draw? (Primarilly If the character is from a webcomic ><, don't worry I don't want any extreme content ^^) as some people do hold up to certain standards. I did do a quick check on your main page but couldn't find anything because I'm rubbish X3
In any case, you know about me. I'd still like the refund because of current circumstances.
