FW Update32: No New Comms for July, Clearing Order Backlog

Hey everyone. I'm gonna be skipping the opening for normal comms this month. I've got too many people on standby (both paid and awaiting business) and I need to get them all squared away where I can. I am truly blessed to have so many folk eager to do business with me, so I better get through the backlog of those in line so we can start again fresh. In the meantime, YCHs will still be available for this month, as launched here.

To aid in my pursuit, I've hired fellow artists of mine to help me get through this backlog. I have previous experience in working alongside them, so I have full confidence in their work ethic. Currently, I am training them to get my rendering style just right before I put them on any work. To be transparent about this happening behind the scenes: I will still be doing ALL of the linework and writing. For now, the only plan is to deal out the busywork of coloring to them so I can get my hands on orders faster. I am not trying to do less work, I'm trying to get the work done.

I've been at this crossroads for a while now, and I have to decide: Either downsize my business to better suit my sole pair of hands, or scale-up and expand my output to meet the incoming orders. I hope this new production pipeline is okay for all of you, at the very least temporarily. I know folks tend to get iffy when they don't know 100% of what (or who) exactly they're paying for, so I wanted to let you all know ahead of time. As always, your patience with me is greatly, sorely appreciated!

Thank you,
