If I owe you art... (Get in here) updated

Alright...
i wasn't going to get into this. but things are taking longer than they should.

you all get the short, blunt story.
I've been diagnosed with both a thyroid issue and a blood pressure issue, which are combating each other. the thyroid issue is causing my cells to not want to take in things like salt and sugar, and in turn are not putting out energy like they should. some days, not putting out much energy at all, making me basically bed ridden. the blood pressure issue acts something like altitude sickness, causing my pressure to drop drastically while doing something as simple as sitting. in a recent test I took, it took less than 6 minutes of me standing, and less than 1 minute of me standing perfectly upright to blackout. the test was meant to last 45 minutes.

the point is, i feel like absolute garbage. the few things I'm putting out these days don't feel like they're my best work, and they're few and far between. None the less, I still love doing them. Art is my role in life. i hope you can all have patience with me, and know that I -definitely- am not giving up on -any- projects i've been given. If you would like to withdraw your request due to the time it may take, I understand. Just let me know.

thank you for reading and,
please,
no 'get well soon's. xD

I think the Fates just take that as a cue to make things a little worse.
*hugs for all*



First word: Sick. Second word: Hospital.
Those are the answers I'm giving for the long waits.
But we aren't going to talk about/dwell on that.



This was mentioned some time ago on headshots I uploaded, though it was discrete. I'm working on getting all my debts cleared and put away. So if I owe you anything at all, please, email me at Madeofrib@live.com or post here. This also goes for those of you who requested chibis from me, but didn't actually have the process started yet. Just let me know if you would still like one or not, and I'll get to work.

If you've e-mailed me already within the month, there's no need, you're on my list. *thumbs up*

I'd apologize, but really, those grow stale don't they? I will apologize though to the very, very few people (like, 2?) who had paid and then had to wait. A new system will be put together just in case this happens again, so you won't be without your money or art again.

I had actually sent you an

I had actually sent you an email a few days ago (gah, uh, two or three? I forget) inquiring about chibis. (it wasn't a filled out form, but more of a few questions regarding the chibis and my interest in possibly commissioning you for quite a few). Just wanna make sure you actually got the email and hotmail/gmail didn't screw up or something rofl.

Oh, right! Yes, I did indeed

Oh, right! Yes, I did indeed get it. I'm slowly working my way through my e-mail right at this moment, replying to all of them. Somehow I got an accumulation while I was away...

Ahh, alright, thank you! No

Ahh, alright, thank you! No problem, take your time. o:

Ah, I never heard any further

Ah, I never heard any further from you after ordering three chibis (two single, and one couple).
Still very interested in getting these, though I know I ordered Allistair in there but would love to change him to someone else, if that would be alright? ;-;

I think I may be able to draw Belenus now, since I think you posted a sketch of him a while ago.

@DogTag Thank you.

@DogTag
Thank you. <3 I appreciate patience more than anything.

@OrinocoFlow
You know, I just might take that once I'm caught up. xD I do miss doing art trades...

@Declan
Eep, I should've looked at this before I just sent out that email. Yep, I just replied to yours- changing Allistair would be no problem whatsoever. Just email me back with who you'd like to switch him with. An thank you so, so much.

@OkamiLugia
*hugssss* Yesss <3

@Echosong
Ah, of course! My apologies...
Hm, I don't have the original for that doe now, since the computer she was on sort of shut down...I can crop her out and clean the watermark off though if you'd like, make her useable as a signature picture.

As for the Belenus art, I'll let you go ahead and start on that. His spike/stripe pattern continues down to in between his shoulders, and the rest of him is light grey, with the stripes being dark grey. A darker bruise runs the length of his back. The piece of cloth around his neck is red, while his eyes are a pink/red. Of course, the colors are just if you decided to indeed do color. Just a sketch is okay too.

Oh wow, really sorry to hear

Oh wow, really sorry to hear about your situation, must be hard to deal with when they clash like that.
Really hope it doesn't take too much out of you.

I'm sticking by what I said to you earlier, take as much time s you need with mine, there's no pressure and I'm willing to wait for as long as you need. c:
Health comes first. ♥

I'm just now seeing this, and

I'm just now seeing this, and I know you already have me on your list (unless you forgot a second time, ya jerk Sticking out tongue) but I just wanted to comment! Obligatory GET WELL SOON since you didn't ask for it. As someone who also has a bunch of health issues, I know how annoying that can be! Really, take your time and feel better. Don't take on too many projects at once!
