Hey, soph is here!!
I want to tell you about a couple of big updates!

New Job

Unfortunately, for the last couple of months, I couldn't fund my life with drawings I do, all because I've taken plenty of commissions to pay for rent, groceries, dentist appointments (I'm still in my braces chapter of my life x3), etc. So I've looked for a job that can give me a kind of financial stability and less anxiety about tomorrow. And I've found it! Fortunately, I won't have too long shifts, so I can merge my job with drawing and keep my art journey, which I'm happy about. But I will be having an intensive studying period before starting my job, so deadlines may be delayed more than expected...yikes! Otherwise, I will do my best to keep the working speed good and give you the illustrations you commissioned!

Deadline List Changes

Due to significant changes in my working hours, my artist job will become part-time, so this week I'll rearrange the deadline list in Notion. I've missed a couple of deadlines last week because of interviews, so I need to finish them as soon as possible. Please, stay tuned for it. The link to the deadline list is here: https://lace-target-5ce.notion.site.....urce=copy_link

Here are also some things I want to tell you about the deadlines and the deadline list:

• The highest priority will be given to those slots that are awaiting in the "In progress" column and Patreon rewards, which are significantly delayed because of the workload.

• The new column "Working on it today" will be added, so you will see what I'm doing at the moment! I think that will be so comfortable, especially with the highly loaded "In progress" tab...

• For Patreon Supporters: the new, separate deadline list and calendar, especially for your reward drawing planning, will be added to the same link, and will be below or on another page for a comfortable view. Don't forget that I have a list of finished and not finished rewards. Your slots will be prioritized to eliminate the huge gap and delay!

• The planning will not be huge and longer than 1-2 weeks, excluding, maybe, huge commissions which are already planned, but if I am not able to manage time, you will be informed about the delayed start and finish.

• No more than 2 drawings at once per day. I think it will be a combo Patreon Reward + Commission Process/YCH.

• The most important one: all of the commissions are visible in the deadline list (it's all I have for now) will be drawn and sent to their commissioners with 100% guarantee, but with the delay due to starting my new job. I am really sorry for that, and now I'm thinking to give you all something for a gift, but for now I have no idea, unfortunately x((

As soon as I'll figure it out - I'll let you know! I'm hesitating about a couple months of Patreon membership for free, but I don't know will it be okay...Perhaps, when the workload will be stabilized, I'll draw sketches for y'all! Still need to brainstorm about that...

• The raffle rewards will start from April!

Commissions Status - CLOSED (but sometimes negotiable)

According to the deadline list - for now, it will be so unfair to take more commission. So, commissions are closed until the moment I finish at least 70% of current commissions. I cannot keep customers to wait so long as I'm currently doing that, and I feel so much guilt for the delays and the impossibility of finishing things on time. So if you need an illustration for an exact day, like a Birthday or Christmas, unfortunately, I won't be able to do that, I'll text an update when I have more room for that. Thank you for understanding! T-T

Exceptions:

• YCHs are ALWAYS available! They are fast to draw, usually it takes 1 working day, if your character has a complex design, it may take up to 3-4 business days.
upd: and there will be new YCHs. I'm still here, with no any farewell, I'll just be a little slower than usual!

• If your commission is positioned as a sketch, it may be approved for drawing; sketches are quick to draw as well!

• Sometimes I may accept rendered headshots, but since May. So you can reserve a spot! Drawing headshots is about 3-5 business days maximum.

• After finishing adopt extras, new adoptable characters will be available for claiming!

Response Time

As I said, because I have a new job, I won't have as much time as I did or have now until my work starts. So the time of replying may be longer. Please be patient; I'll reply to everyone as soon as I open FurAffinity or Discord.
Incidentally, I'm much faster in Discord, so don't shy away to add me there, I'm sophyrotth everywhere!

I think it's all for now! Saying that again, I won't disappear, and I'm not saying 'Goodbye', there're just a huge change in my life, and I need to adapt to it, and along with that, I want to inform you, just because you are a huge part of my art-life, gratefully to you, I'm still sane and can do what I love the most - to draw! <3

My big and tight hugs to everyone!
Don't forget to take a look at the deadline list, the changes, and don't be afraid, all the commissions will be finished!

With love,
soph <3
