Struggling (Update 7-23-23)
2 years ago
EDIT: I finally got the sketch to upload, though FA is still being wonky about it so no full-size version tonight.
Truthfully I'm having a really difficult time with art; I'm not particularly happy with anything post Mouz-March, and while Commissions seem to be coming out nice, I'm not pleased with how things are going. This Thursday is my birthday and the 7 Year anniversary of this gallery, and I'm honestly not in a good mood about all of it, which is disappointing. I really wanted to start at least a month of fun celebratory pics, but now I don't think I have anything left in me for it.
This week I need to pick up at least 2 more commissions, so expect an ad; I'll upload the sketch as well whenever FA decides I'm allowed.
I'm going to try and find a new direction this week, something fun and easy on me, but I don't really know what to do. Any advice is appreciated.

FA+

It might not be a huge consolation, but even if you don't personally feel your recent work has been your best, I've still found plenty to enjoy about it. Particularly the street series -- the colors and the way the figures and background elements worked together were delightful.
I appreciate that you've been sharing what you can even now, and that you're doing your best to fight through this.
Here's hoping things improve sometime soon! (And that you can at least take some time out for yourself for a nice bit of birthday decompression.)
