Hey everyone, I hope your holidays are going well-

Well, it wouldn't be a Christmas season without a third act upset- I set aside my commission work for a few days to do a rush job for a magazine I do freelance work for, and then... I just didn't get paid. The Accounting Department for this particular magazine have always been particularly nasty and Scrooge-like, but when I asked why I didn't see my check after pay day had passed, they just told me, in so many words, to suck it. I allowed that to get to my head and discourage me, and I let things slip for a few days, hence my lack of updates.

And now we're less than a week from Christmas, and then my old Chromebook no longer will connect to Google Docs properly, as the exact model is too old and no longer compatible with like, half the things on the internet, creating more delays. I do have one more commission to share and post before I head out, but then I need to find a work around until I get my hands on a new laptop. I still have a lot of expenses to cover before the holiday is out, so I will be opening for a few more slots if anyone's interested. I won't re-open my forms, so just feel free to drop me a line here on FA, DM me, or reach out to me on Discord if you're interested.

Otherwise, to everyone that's been very patient with me, I can say that I am still on track to clear out my current queue by the end of January. Anyone that would like to grab a slot now, expect it by early February.

Thank you all again for your patience and support, and I hope you all have a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a good 2026.
Take care,
-Renard
