If you plan to commission me [LakeMutt] you must agree to the terms/prices
IMPORTANT HEALTH NOTICE:
I have a brain disease/disorder (IIH) that causes memory loss/short term memory loss, because of this I tend to forget / be forgetful & may forget things often. I do not do this out of mal intent or ignorance, it is something I unfortunately cannot control & live with delay, which affects my life & work greatly. If this makes you uncomfortable to work with me, please DO NOT commission me. I do everything to keep track of all of my work, but I do still tend to slip up.
Thank you! :)
