I am re-opening Artist's Loft. Shortly after creating this thread I was approached with a few paying commissions from a very unexpected source. Anyway, I've set up a more manageable system for accepting paid commissions and am ready to give this some love! 

Oh yeah! I also updated the OP with new information about [I]paid[/I] commissions. I'll be offering both and adding cool benefits to those down for paying for the work -- an offer I extend y'all as Guild-mates.
