Where I've been
3 years ago
Sup nerds, just wanted to do a lil update since I'm not dead lmao. Full transparency I burned out on art so bad. I started taking commissions in 2011, started taking commissions for the furry fandom in 2013, and for about 7 years I just overloaded myself with taking so many commissions that it completely killed my desire to draw because I was drawing so much for other people that I never drew anything for myself and I burned out so bad. I was in school for a while and never had time, I tried drawing through the start of the pandemic and when I had time but I just never did much. I fell off drawing so bad for so long, I just didn't enjoy it anymore. When I fell into a different fandom I started drawing a bunch for myself again and it just was so nice to enjoy drawing again. So long story short, I've been drawing exclusively content that I want to draw to kinda rekindle the muse if that makes sense. That, and I got a job a few months back, I went from monday-friday 9am-5pm to now the days I work are 13+ hour days, and even still I gotta fit clinicals in there at some point too. Yer girl is in EMS now, so long hours, stressful job, while doing classes and working too. It's just a lot so I'm busy most of the time now.
Definitely agree that you should draw what you feel like. I'd be curious to know what fandom you're drawing stuff for but I know most don't like the whole colliding worlds thing.
Glad you're doing well regardless!
