If you haven't seen 'Demon Slayer: To the Swordsmith Village' yet, do yourself a favor, and don't. If you have preordered tickets, try to get your money back if you haven't gone yet. It isn't a movie. It is the last two episodes of the Entertainment District arc, with opening songs and ending songs and credits, then the first episode of the Swordsmith Village arc. It is NOT a movie, it is 3 episodes falsely bundled as a movie by Sony 'Crunchyroll' as a cash grab. I wouldn't have gone had I known. Mugen Train was so good, this is not that... this is just... ugh. Wait for the season to start.

Commissions are officially closed until after I have had enough time to play Cyberpunk 2077 and Outer Worlds. Likely either mid December or early January. I will be finishing the pieces in my queue, but not accepting more until further notice. I will post a new journal and a picture announcement when I reopen.

This year, I have had numerous fans who have contacted me for commissions, only to have to pull out at the last minute, and while some just stop replying to emails, others are so apologetic, so I wanted to make this journal entry to absolve you all of any negative emotions. The reason I don't take payment before I am ready to start on your piece is two fold: 1: Should something happen to me, to prevent me from working on your piece, I don't want the guilt of not being able to pay you back for any reason. 2: Art is a luxury item. Your health, welfare, family and real world needs will ALWAYS be more important than some custom artwork. I can always find another person to fill a commission slot, but you can't always find an extra paycheck to make ends meet. I am always willing to pause someone's spot in queue until they are better able to afford things, or cancel their slot and have them reenter the queue at a later date if they don't know when or if they will be able to continue.
