Illustration commissions are now closed! (Pencil sketches and comic lettering are still available, and I’m still open to discussion about published/pitch/anthology work!) Thank you to everyone who commissioned me! I’ll make another announcement when I open up again. ***Original message: Surprise—I'm currently open for a limited number of illustration commissions! Prices and info here, more details below: - Please contact me by email (not chat or note) so I can keep all the requests in one place. My email address is rachel_ordway@yahoo.com - The number of commissions I accept will be based on several factors, including how many requests I get and how complicated they are. If I get more requests than I can handle, I will not create a waitlist—the customers I turn away will have to ask again the next time commissions open. Thanks for understanding. - If my schedule/availability changes, I'll still complete all the commissions I've committed to, it will just take longer—aka

For anyone keeping an eye on my commission status, I just updated my commission info pages (links below) with notes about my availability.  Please let me know if they're worded confusingly or anything so I can try to rewrite them. Basically, I’m trying to limit my workload since I burnt myself out in recent years by constantly accepting commissions on top of my regular day job work.  So right now I’m only available for pencil sketch art or comic lettering, and whenever I open up other kinds of commissions, I’ll only accept a few before closing again.  (I’ll make an announcement when I open up.  And in case anyone goes “Hey, wait a minute...”, the commission art I’m posting lately is for people I’d promised commissions to before I closed last year.) But if you want to work with me on a big/long-term project, especially if it’s for an anthology or publisher, please feel free to ask!  I’ll let you know if it'll work with my schedule. Thanks for

Commissions will officially remain CLOSED until further notice. I've been working on a long art project that just keeps getting longer, and I'm definitely going to need to take a break after it's finished.  Unfortunately, I don't know when that will be. I will post a new journal entry and add a note to my commission price lists (links below) when I become available again. If you'd like me to notify you by email, please let me know at rachel_ordway@yahoo.com (Please note that this will not guarantee you priority; commissions will still be completed on a first-come, first-served basis.) Thank you so much for your patience. *********** Il
