Opening again in February. ******************************************************************************* Rules : 1. My working times are from Monday to Friday. So please refrain from noting me at the weekend asking how your commission is going. It's been incredibly stressful in the past when my friend and me went on an excursion or I simply needed a day off.

Not sure if I imagine it, but feedback has decreased since I stopped drawing "Treasure Planet"-fanart years ago, but sorry, due to personal reasons and some things just happening I totally lost interest in it. DA's "Eclipse" design also made a lot of people leave, it seems. I've created an Instagram account 2 years ago and at the start of the year finally got more attention and reach, only for it to drop right after they changed the algorithm again. Now only a small percentage of my followers even get to see my posts. It's so
