Hello! It's been way too long, but I'm finally back for good(?)

Anyway, there's a ton of messages I haven't replied to but thank you all for the kind words! I know most of you here are hoping to get an animated avatar commission, and in the past I've attempted to get myself back in a position where I could open them, but unfortunately I don't think it's going to happen. In the icon commissions I took in the past, I relied heavily on Photoshop's GIF optimization options, which were better than any other program's that I've encountered since. I then moved to an upgraded computer though, one in which my old copy of Photoshop CS5 for Mac wouldn't work and switched to CSP as my primary digital drawing/painting program. As good as CSP is (I love it way better than Photoshop), Photoshop still did have far superior control over GIF optimization and exportation and I couldn't do even half the things with animated GIFs in CSP that I could in Photoshop. And once Photoshop switched over to a subscription-based payment, there's no way I'm ever going back.
I did (and still do) have a pirated version of Photoshop that I tried to get into the swing of using and could still theoretically use, but after not doing animated avatars for a while I got into the groove of doing other things (mostly 3D stuff) and didn't really have the energy or interest in trying out a new workflow. So I will cautiously say there IS still a chance that I feel up to taking some 2D avatar commissions, but if I do it will be a much smaller number and less often.

But the good news is I've been doing a lot of 3D stuff and am having a ton of fun with it, and would love to try out 3D commissions if anyone is interested. I'm not officially opening them quite yet, but check out my 3D work

Is this a bug that needs to be reported or is there something wrong on my end?

Yeah, sorry commissions have been moving really slow recently, I haven't been feeling too well. I'm still trying to finish them as soon as I can. So if you commissioned me, y'know, just...don't worry. I haven't forgotten about you!

EDIT 7/27/16: Commissions will be closed for a few months while I finish up this first batch.

I'm doing icon commissions! $5.00 for static icons, $10.00+ for animated ones. Note me if you're interested or want a price quote for an animated icon.
