Small update + GoFundMe up for mom's final expenses

Hey all,
I want to apologize for being pretty quiet lately. This year's been pretty tough on me mentally to put it lightly. I've been doing my best to keep high spirits but it's been tough to get back into the swing of creativity when I haven't had much motivation. My dad passed early this year and I found my mother in her home passed away just a few days ago. I'm slowly getting better with the help of loved ones but it's going to take some time. I desperately want to enjoy life more, especially after losing both my parents in such a short time span. It's going to be really tough being as introverted as I am but I hope that I can get that spark back, life's just too short to let it pass by.
Anyway, I just wanted to let y'all know that if you would like to help my sis and I bury my mom, I started a GoFundMe here: https://gofund.me/ef6df6ae and there is no obligation to give. Just some kind thoughts and wishes are greatly appreciated too, or even if you choose to share our fundraiser with others. Be sure to cherish your time with loved ones, because you never know when our last moments are here on this world.
I'm also really hopeful to get back into working through commissions too. I plan on experimenting with some small things to hopefully get back on track and enjoy drawing again. The AI thing has been really killing my morale but I just gotta keep in mind that my art is unique and can't be replicated by a robot.

In regards to the AI topic, no machine can replicate the charm and joy that your art brings whenever I see it pop up from time to time. I certainly look forward to the bit of art you create if and when you do get back to doing that <3
Regardless, it is certainly good to hear from you.
I'd love nothing more for you than to enjoy life to the fullest as well. Thank you for letting us know what is going on.
As Zarc said the 'Amalgamation Imagery' cannot replicate what we love in our craft. Don't let it get you down or hold you back- only you can make your art and only we, human beings, can appreciate it. I love your style and work, and seeing it pop up is always delightful. I think about our conversation we had in MFF2022 a lot. Your voice, character, and demeanor shows through your work and I hope I can see you in person again some time!
Please take all the time you need, and let me know if you need anything.
Regarding AI: Seeing any of it makes me want to commission artists like you even more. Artistic effort is captured best by the hands of actual artists, rather than robots! Besides, robots kinda mess up on some things with generating art anyway... I could go on and on about it
