A long overdue update
2 years ago
Hi there, everyone.
This is the first of a few journals where I’ll share what’s been going on with me, and what my current plan is.
I have recently discovered that I have an autoimmune disease that worsens when I am under stress. Unfortunately, I also have severe and debilitating PTSD. This was all greatly exacerbated when I was forced to rehome my parrot this last February.
Furthermore, I take my obligations so seriously that the obligation of finishing commissions and making art fast enough began to literally cause surprising, visible damage to my hair and sensitive areas across my body. I had no idea that this is possible, yet here I am. This situation made it harder and harder for me to produce artwork over time, until it got to a point where my nervous system frozen in baffling, indecisive cognitive paralysis. After that, those very frightening medical problems started to show up on my body, leading to a series of visits to the doctor.
My social phobia has almost destroyed me. Please forgive me for being a recluse. I've simply had too many panic attacks whenver I've loged onto Discord and seen so many messages, and these panic attacks were damaging me.
The doctor's conclusion is that I needed to be released from all obligations in order to stop the progress of these autoimmune problems, so my body can heal, and so I can make any art at all. I have also concluded to no longer take commissions, ever. I will still offer custom art to those who are interested, but will use a completely new system that I have not created yet.
I have spent the last few months working physical labor jobs in order to earn more than enough to money to pay anyone back who is either still waiting for art or never got art.
I have also been figuring a lot of my shit out. I am sorry that I’ve been so odd for the last nine or ten years. They have been hell for me.
The good news is that I intend to get back to a full swing once I thoroughly conclude that I haven’t missed a SINGLE refund or forgotten customer.
If you are still waiting for art from me, please email me at: twickhord[at]gmail.com
You will get a refund, an apology, and the assurance that I will still finish your piece of art. I miss art, and I want it back.
I’m gonna see if I can plow forward now.

Was super worried when I hadn't seen any Adopt-A-Hunk session in a bit.
Hope we get to see some more amazing (and stress-free) art in the not-too-distant future!
Hope everything is on the upswing from here dude
I might just be a simple watcher, but I want you to be happy in life.
Be free from all the things that cause damage and I wish you have peace and health everyday!
^^ <3 ❤️
And don't worry about that, your personal growth and the fullfilment of your goals are the first things I hope to see. 🏆
Good luck and keep moving forward. I have faith in you, whatever you do.
I love your art, your style and you as a person!!
Thanks for sharing and being vulnerable with us!!
Sending good vibes your way, and offering my 'virtual presence' if I can help you with anything, ok?
Cheers!
