Some of you might have noticed that I didn't manage to keep up with my "post one illustration a week" rule. There are several reasons for that, some more minor than others, but I can share the big one:

My father has been diagnosed with a cancer. I'm taking care of everything for him, which in addition to the stuff I have to do on my end, takes a lot of energy.

The news hit me particularly hard, as cancers killed basically half of my family, including my mother; and even if my dad's illness is being treated well, it's very hard for me to look at things in a positive light, and not be sent back to the worst moments of my life.

I've been in a state of stunlock for a couple months now, since we got the news; it's been very hard for me to get enough energy to talk to people, even close friends. I've managed to push through it a couple times to do art or talk to new people, but those come in bursts and cost a lot of energy. I'm slowly going back to normal, but I still can't spend as much time on art as I'd like to, even if I wasn't mentally in a bad place.

Art is not my job yet so I don't have obligations, and I don't expect anyone to have actual expectations of weekly posts, but I wanted to say this so you have a bit more info on what I'm up to.
