This is the first commission-requiring-communication that I think I’ve ever taken from a non-fandom person or someone I did not meet at work or something, and it’s a picture of their KID, so all the communication has this terrible tension for me like ‘fuck, you have no previously established investment in my work nor do you know what I usually do beyond small sparkly children so you have no reason to just trust that i’ll be amazing’ and so all the messages are like, “Extreme Business Mode Lady”

(In case anyone is interested, no, I’m not quite open for general commissions at the moment.  This one is sort of a special case.  I’ll make a big fancy post when I’m opened up again.)
