First of all, thank you all.
Thanks for all the support, and also for enjoying my sets... I had much more sales than I ever expected, and much more positive comments than I ever imagined...
You know, creating 3d sets was always a surprising experience, as I was surprised every time by the end result. But much more than that, I was always surprised that other people liked it!
In any case, the closing of the store was a difficult decision, more than that,: it was, as it came to be, a sad moment. As you have noticed, during this year, I had almost stopped making 3d sets - that was due to personal reasons, most of them good, by the way, but made my dedication and time to creating 3d sets to take a significant cut. This I missed, because I felt it as a part of my regular day - it completed, in those times, my day. But more than just having me almost stop, it came the time when I had to close my store: my real life job has nothing to do with 3d, but has an exclusity clause (for which I am paid for) which prevents me from getting earnings from any other source (in a regular basis, in any case)... Generic rules from big companies, that don't accept exceptions!
Just to finish - I understand that something that no one accepts well, and neither do I, is having my sets disappear to the recesses of my hard disk... but there is a chance that they will be back in a market, in the net, somewhere ( and I am not referring to piracy sites LOL)... but I still don't know if it will be and that is not something that I will anounce here...
