#turtle speaks

First of all I’m thankful for those that helped out during my emergency commissions last month and I’m working hard getting most of them all done as fast as I can and so far I’ve have finished nearly 5 out of the ten that were given to me.

Now the next bit is how I spent my time working on them and revolve around my full time job. I’ve been sketching and inking all my commissions in a consecutive row so far and as every artist knows, that takes time. And I’m happy you guys understand that I can be a person and will sometimes face rocky bumps along the road whether it be family problems and work changes. Well recently for a couple weeks now I had to put a huge pause on working on them due to working overtime. My coworker had a heart attack and had to go for bypass surgery, so both me and my other coworker understood and have been working non-stop. Normally the two of us don’t mind since we dealt with long periods without breaks but what our boss told us about his condition, our coworker is going to be recovering for a couple months. So in the meanwhile, we’re okay with this while our boss is going to find a part-time hire for either next month or the following and quick.

Next is referring to July as some may know I’ve planned to go to Metrocon with my girlfriend and with our awesome friend from California for a whole week. And as of late we all have been working our butts off to save enough for the trip and to pay for the expenses that we’ve booked. And don’t worry, even though I’m working full time at work I am able to work on the traditional medium commissions during my breaks and in the morning to work on the digital requests. 

Finally, I know it’s a bit much as is since I’ve been working like crazy with both art and work. We still need a little help earning some cash for the convention and another reason which I’ll be sure to post on a later date as a surprise. 

If it’s not much, my girlfriend has her commissions open on her Twitter for an amazing deal and will help us out greatly. I mean how can you not say no to getting a cute chibi such as this for a good deal?
