OK, I must tell you something.
Because of constant stress and being overworked for like a year I got sick again. I have thyroid issues called hiperthyroidism. I thought I recovered 8 years ago but nope, I got very sick again because of constant, 12-16 h workday. I must slow down with my commission work for my own health reasons. I cannot draw like 12 big pieces a month anymore. I will be happy to finish 5-6 creative artworks a month, most of it being pictures for my commissioners. I hope you understand.
I try to do my best doing every artwork i make unique, fresh, and coming out of my comfortzone (even tiny bit). Such artwork that helps me develop needs time. I hope you see my efforts and won't be disappointed that I'm a bit slower but still I'm a learner trying to live happily, discover more about myself and my artstyle <3
Kindest Regards,

Please look after yourself Iza. You're already churning out mad volume of artworks, far more than the average person and counting among the very few who work at that level. Unless money is an issue(which I don't think it is in your case), nobody asks you to do that many commissions, and I hope you understand that the pace you set for yourself can't ever disappoint people. In fact, I think that, if you take it slower and include more downtime, you'll actually have a more fulfilled life overall, as that will let you interact more with the people you like, watch more of the media that entertains you, and find inspiration for your art from highly unexpected sources. Just watching some Netflix shows gave me some really cool ideas for character outfits hah.
Health and mental welfare should always come first, and I hope you'll pay more attention to both because your art is already so freaking good, and even with the new posting schedule you have planned, that's plenty of art already! Count in your personal works, and that's still more than what the average artist accomplishes, which is still a huge achievement in my eyes!

I always thought you do that (overworking), I did the same for 5-6 months on a row (streaming everyday for 8-12 hrs) and trying to eearn followers and ect... I got such distressed even from what I do love...... Gosh.. and that's why I was so amused you're still "on" this way. Your art is amazing: thoughtful and constructive (no surprise), colorful and holistic, skilled and full of life. Please, take good care of yourself, we all want to see more of it! Better 1 a month than no one in full time!
Please, stay healthy and calm about commissioners :3
