I've worried about how long it's been since I've been at work on my art for a bit now as well as the reason for such, which I hope to clarify in this journal: For the past two and a half weeks my medication I heavily rely on for regulating my many issues with mental health has failed me completely, and the soonest time I can even attempt to have it fixed is in the next week and a half.

I don't really like being so public about my mental health issues as much as it manifests in my art, but I realize it would be a detriment if I were to work on anything prominent during such a troubling time with my health, and believe me it's not stopped me from trying...

Hopefully by the end of the month I'll be able to finally move on to the last three pieces of my art series which I have been properly outlining the concepts for in the meantime; I still have plans to work on more positive work from then on unless entirely necessary for venting purposes, and due to relatively recently getting back together with someone very close to me I have ideas for a more positive counterpart to Derrik in the form of a character I modeled after and designed for that individual right before my medication had completely failed that I intend to use as a means of telling more positive stories for Derrik and flesh out this new character in the process.

As much as I have been radio silent for my own wellbeing, I'm still coming up with ideas for a lot more art to come, and I don't intend on giving up on my art anytime soon.
