Back (Not really but I am posting art again)
4 years ago
General
Well, I'm back, kinda. At the very least I'm drawing somewhat frequently again so may as well start occasionally posting again I guess.
I only say 'kind of back' because really only part of the reason why I initially left has been dealt with, that being the artistic side of it. Quite frankly I'm still filled with existential dread, but honestly I don't think that'll change any time soon. But there is only so much good hiding away by myself will do, and getting back in the habit of doing art semi frequently and socializing will probably do me good. Hopefully
That said, I'm sure some are wondering what exactly my art would entail going forwards. As part of my meltdown came from my art and how I wasn't quite happy with it. Well, aside from trying to do more variety, you can probably expect some of the same. After quite a bit of thought and self reflection I realized that it wasn't making did/gid art that was making me anxious. It was this fear gnawing at the back of my mind that if I kept making it, it would become the only thing anyone would ever want from me. And as such some of the other things I want to do would be ignored or never get traction.
That said, while I am going to try and make more regular non-lewd art, I will still make DiD/GiD.
Also, while on the subject, before I left I had an art suggestion box. For now that is going to close down. If only because my artistic drive, while present, is finicky. Sometimes may go a whole week or so without drawing, and at times I struggle to stay motivated on my own projects let alone art requests. So doesn't seem right to subject others to my rather poor creative drive. However that said in the future I may consider opening limited requests for special occasions like holidays and the like. But no guarantees there.
But, yeah. Not exactly back but I am going to start posting again on occasion. Will post some stuff later today. Thank you to those who actually read this rambling. Have a digital cookie
