Debilitating back pain + Furnal Equinox
2 years ago
So... I'd like to apologize for the lack of art posts, and my general recent slowness when it comes to the completion of my current massive queue of comms. Last november I opened up to afford a replacement laptop after mine crashed, to a gracious 23 people along with the 3 comics I already had that I needed to stagger across the queue, and I have sadly only completed a few of them.
I realize that this is unacceptable, and I would like to apologize to everyone I owe to, I want to do everything within my power to complete them. However I have hit a roadblock due to obstacles from changing over my tech, personal issues regarding putting too much of myself in the mental well being/support of others to the point where it became almost like a job and, the most important issue thats kept me from achieving my goals, debilitating back pain that shoots up from my spine all the way down my right side/thigh, from ????, preventing me from sitting for long periods of time, affecting my sleep and ability to focus. I'm constantly fatigued as a result and struggle to get up.
I am going to go see a doctor and pursue this to figure out what it is. It could be sciatica from my weight, scoliosis, MS, or possibly related to a family autoimmune issue within the bones that my father and sister both have, but I have never checked for. I apologize for the delay its caused, especially when so many new people got on board my commission queue to help me. I feel like I let them all down, but I will not stop working and trying my hardest to make people happy with my art. I just need to take better care of myself, and ensure that I can be happy too.
I will however be getting a huge boost of joy and inspiration when I head over to Furnal Equinox this march with my friends, Chu, Sot, Junie and Scott. I hope to see folks there, I'll need to make a badge for myself so that people can recognize me. Its the shot in the arm that I think I need to be passionate and excited for my career as a furry artist once again.
Thank you to all my commissioners, and I am so sorry for the delay this has caused, I never meant for my lack of care for myself to get to this point where it so dramatically effected my ability to do work, and lead to me letting people down. I will continue to push through it, but I will also be taking the rest that I need, so it might take a little time, please bear with me
If you would like to support me, while I try to work through this please check out my Ko-Fi at https://ko-fi.com/mrease
Or, if you're a mutual friend/someone who has worked with me before, who I know will be patient, I could add you onto the end of the queue but I don't want to do /too much/ of that because it could get too large for its own good. Usually things being too large for its own good is how I'd describe my art, but not in this case.
Thank you for listening
18/04/2023: Back pain has been dealt with and I am back to work now! Sorry this took so long to push through, but I am confident that I got this.
