Status Update 29 07 2023
🕑 Added 2023-07-29 16:28:44 +0000 UTCI am almost done with my current list, and am about to reopen the commission list again. But before I do that, I'll like to update you guys on what's on my mind and to ask for feedback.
As you guys know, for the last 2-3 years, I've been working mostly on commissions, and only recently started to work on personal projects again. Currently, the rate at which I am working is 1:2 personal project to commissions. I'm thinking of changing to a 1:1 ratio, which means that I wouldn't be working so much on commissions.
At the same time, I don't want to have massive lists of commissions like I used to have, so I am thinking of taking only 10 commission per cycle. However, I am not sure the best way to go about doing this. Been testing various things out the last few cycles, and most of them haven't really pan out.
For this commission intake, I'm thinking of taking 10 commissions, limiting to 1 per person so that more people can join in. With just 10 commissions per cycle, it should go through faster, which would hopefully be fast enough for people with more then one model that they want converted.
I am thinking of using google form again to make keeping track of the turn order easier, as I am spread out over 5 sites, but will not be using the add on that cause the problem the last time. After the first 10 entries, I plan to wipe the form clean, before using it again the next time. This way, it'll be a little more troublesome on your part, as you might have to enter the same thing multiple times, but it'll ensure that things are fair and everyone has the same chance. I will give ample lead time so people can prepare for it.
I hope people wouldn't think this method is too arrogant. It just seems the fairest and most clear-cut way to do it to me, at least right now.
If anyone has any suggestions or alternative methods, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll open the commission on the 1st Aug 2023, 12am UTC+8.
Below is the link to the form. I'll only take the results after the above time though.

I'll have to trouble you to make the entry again, as I plan to reset the form to ensure fairness.

Sorry, I (like many others) have already tried the form 😅🙈

Currently working on Street Fighter characters. After that would likely be Mortal Kombat. I want to visit KOF at some point as well, and there is the new Tekken game coming up. So you can say that it'll be mostly fighting games related for a while. That said, I do want to convert stuff like Zelda, Diablo 2, etc. So there are a lot I want to do.

It is absolutely imperative that you find a way to make creating something you enjoy. So I 100% support you taking as much time as you need to focus on the content, characters, and conversions that will make you happy. That said, could you give us some thoughts on what you would/will be making, just generally, if not guided by the dictates of commissions.

Welcome. Thank you for the continuous support.

Thanks. And yeah. I did commissions only for almost 3 years, due to the huge list mentioned. But I am grateful, as they help me pass the COVID period without any issues.

Me personally I have been really enjoying the models that you are picking for your personal work. Thank you for sharing them with us :)

This isn't a bad idea at all. You have to find a nice happy balance between commissions and what you really want to work on or it can really lead to burnout and demotivate you. And 10 per cycle seems very fair along with everything else you do for us.
