ohh that's what you mean! XD I thought you were talking about my contest ahah
to answer your question, these aren't slots. as you said, it's the waiting list. My commissions are still closed as I am still preparing for them to open. As soon as they open up, I will go along the waiting list to ask the people on them if they would like to get a slot. I just made the waiting list because there have been people from over half a year who wanted to commission me and it would be unfair if other people would have a slot before them, if that makes sense
As for WHEN my comissions open up... I wanted to finish my current work/wip batch before that (roughly 13 artwork pieces). I'm sorry for the long wait, but I want to be able to give my commissioners the best quality possible and I need some more time&training to fully achieve this. I hope you understand ;-;
