It's been 3000 years...

Expect a flood of deviations this weekend as I post all the pony figures that have gotten finished in my absence.  We're finally reaching the end of Ye Olde Commission list, after which point we'll be retiring from 3D-printed commissions.  I know a lot of people are bound to be disappointed by that, but honestly, it's been coming for a long time.  Look at how badly our rate slowed down after we both started working full-time (not that we were fast before...)  I've gotten a lot of messages about commissions the past few months and have tried to turn them down politely, but I think it's time to put it to rest.  And ultimately, I think it's for the best.

But I'll still be around, and taking on plenty of drawing commissions, as I want to devote more time to my artwork as I strive to become a comic artist one day.  And any 3D printing I post from now on will largely be personal projects.  Would you believe I've never made a print for myself?   So weirdly enough, I might actually be more active on DA as a result, as I'll have finally pulled free of the backlog and jump forward into new projects.

As a finishing move, I plan to release a full breakdown of our 3D-printing process so everyone can know all the advancements we made, as well as how we achieved our level of quality.  Competition isn't a concern anymore, so I want everyone to push their printing to be the best that it can be.  I also plan to release some of the 3D models to the public for the first time ever, which has been in huge demand for years, but was never an option since our most profitable figures were reprints.

So thank you everyone for all of your amazing support, patience, and generosity over the years.  It's been a crazy, stressful adventure, but I'm glad to be finishing it, and moving on to the next one.
