Hello
3 years ago
Good day (or night), everyone!
I was recently asked by a couple people about my whereabouts, assumed to have quit art and left the interent forever or something like that. I realize I haven't communicated in quite a while and my art updates are kind of slow too, so I understand where this assumption came from.
But no. I have not left FA, I have not quit art, I don't plan on doing so anytime soon, unless I end up severely disabled (or dead). In fact, I am still here and I browse the site almost everyday. You can still talk to me and I'll answer.
Reason I am not as active as one would expect is that I am still working on my queue, which is actually nearly complete. On top of that, I don't really know what to post about on journals, I am bad at initiating conversation aside from the usual "How are you doing?". I don't have a lot to write about lately, as life is generally "boring" for me, which is not a bad thing, I am an introvert and I appreciate the peace and quiet.
But yeah, the long queue is almost finished. After I am done with this few comic pages, I will re-open commissions, finally, but I will not be taking as many as I did that time, especially comic pages (I am totally okay with long stories, just not everything at once). I was thinking of opening an X amount of slots at a time as to prevent backlog, delays and stress. I will also change my ToS, been meaning to do so for a while now.
As for personal art... I've ben asked about it too. There's really no reason for me to quit making it. At the moment, I am giving more priority to this queue. I work on personal stuff when I get some free time, and for now I don't have much of it. Same reason as to why my gallery uploads are slow.
So... that's pretty much it. I hope it explains the situation a bit more. Activity should be back to more or less normal when this is all finished. I'll hopefully have time for personal projects too.
I hope all of you are doing well!

Well, if you end up dead, I expect you to draw lots of spooky stuff.
I'm rather delighted that you have so much to work on, as it just proves how awesome your artwork is, and how desirable you are to hire for commissions.
Just don't over-work yourself, and always remember to keep having fun with your art.
As for Journals, I know how you feel. I rarely have anything to say which I think others would be interested in hearing about, so it's easy to go months without saying anything, even if active here every day. So, don't feel bad about that, as you're certainly not alone.
And I am happy you still enjoy the content! Thank you. It's also nice to see you :D
Can't say I'm doing too well myself. Depressed at how the world is right now, and not easily able to let go of past traumas too.
I remember long ago when it seemed you were struggling in all sorts of ways yourself. I wonder how you managed to get out that mess, because you seem much happier now..
Oh and of course take your time. I like that more art is on the way, and possibly being able to get a commission myself. But wow you really had alot to deal with..
From personal experience, a complete change of environment helped. I am not cured by any means and I will probably struggle with it long term, but it was a step towards finding more freedom and peace. I would suggest the same thing for you, in case you havent, and in case you are able to, coupled with therapy.
