Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
No problem! All I did was like some posts, so I wouldn't say I did much. But I'm happy that it means that much to you! And I think it's awesome that you're getting commissions for your acrylic work!
Actually, the acrylic work was for a class project; the commissions were for oil paintings. But I always appreciate support, even if comments aren't always available.
