Hey gang, thanks for reading this cool journal

I'm kinda burnt out still, SO I'm, for the first time in the like half a decade since I started drawing, re-evaluating my work output, and I've realized. I've been drawing too much, for too long. And taking on too many big projects, and I haven't really learned how to like... relax. Just draw for fun, not draw because it's what I'm supposed to be doing because I'm an artist. It's lead to some really unhealthy habits, bad sleeping, bad work life balance. SO: I'm taking a step back, not going on hiatus, but learning how to better balance my desire to be an artist with the requirements of being a human.

Part of that is, postponing big projects. I had a few in the pipe I was working towards, programming stuff, big comics, LONG animations, stuff like that. I still wanna do them but I need a break from them. Been working to improve my mental and physical health as well, seeing doctors about my horrible horrible blood pressure, and that's gotta come first before I return to the quarantine production mode where I bury myself in my tablet for 18 hours at a time.

Another part of that is postponing commissions, I've been putting more work into my actual IRL career and that's come with cool stuff like promotions, and with those comes money, and with money comes the lack of need to take commissions. SO, until further notice, completely stopping taking commissions. I know I've talked with folks who have been excited to get comms from me, but I gotta postpone those pans too, just... can't do it. As far as I know, I don't have any outstanding commissions I've taken payment from people for, just plans or ones I've sketched out, but no actual currency has changed hands, if that's not the case DM or Note me and I'll get that taken care of. Current plan is to maintain that course for the rest of the year and re-evaluate later. I'd still like to do Voretober stuff at the very least BUT we'll have to see.

Sorry if this is a disappointment to any folks! But I felt that I owed it to the people waiting in the wings for my next big game project or next giant animation or their chance to comm me what the current plan is. Things that will continue:
-The Mokomo Pirates blog, since that's just kinda casual fun
-I'll probably make more characters and do stuff with existing ones as ideas come
-Animations, but they'll be smaller scale
-Lil fanarts and stuff
-Some trades that I still had in the works
-Fun stylistic experiments and stuff like that, pixel stuff, lineless art, ect
-More comics endeavors

But... Yeah! Don't work too much, don't draw literally every day for hours at a time for years at a time it's not healthy.
