One more art and I take a break!
a year ago
Clears throat and talks in french goat
Hello everyone! I have decided that after my next upload (The art is almost finished :D), I would be taking a break from posting furry stuff and dedicate myself to a more academic approach to art for an undetermined period. This is mainly due to three reasons:
1: I always want to better my art, and I currently feel like just drawing more and more furry feet is not sufficient for that, as it sort of traps me into the mistakes and approximations I tend to make. I'm going to pick back the courses I had to pause due to life circumstances and start taking a more student based approach again to learning to draw anatomy for the time being.
2: As a furry foot fetish artist, it is easy to get swept up by the need to keep drawing this specific type of content due to the fear of becoming irrelevant/getting out of touch, and ruining the Internet presence I've been trying to build for many years. This has the negative side effect of making me push away all the non porn ideas I have, or simpler things I want to draw, or even non related side projects, as I feel it wouldn't gather up any interest. In other words; I'm getting blinded by numbers. I wanna work on other type of stuff for once, give myself a bit of relief from constantly feeling like trying to not get drowned by the current (And maybe have non furry stuff that I might use if I want to try sending applications for an art job?). It has come to a point where I'm actually anxious at the idea of posting that new artwork, because there's a high chance I will be disappointed with the number of likes, faves, retweets etc it's gonna get compared to the effort I put in it (Especially as it's honestly a little "out there" idea). That anxiety is definitely a flag that I shouldn't ignore.
3: I've lately started to work way more seriously on my mental health and actually started to follow a medical procedure to hopefully feel better with my past, current traumas and issues. For those who don't know, I haven't been dealt a good hand family wise, and I still see the aftermath of it everyday, even after the problematic person has died, and my current school situation where they're just burning us out because they actually don't know what they're doing has been adding to it, making me have suicidal thoughts more and more. I figured I wouldn't survive long like this, so I gathered enough courage to trust and talk to a therapist, and I booked an appointment with a psychiatrist to hopefully get some medication. As such, I think it would be best for me to take a bit of distance from anything that can be remotely stressful or make me feel worthless. Art, when it's done in the way that I mentioned earlier (Producing content to stay relevant and not really succeeding anyway), is one of those things.
I don't think I will be posting any art during that time, and if I do, it would either be some YCH to get a bit of money, art I commissioned, or very rough sketches when I actually feel like putting my learnings to the test on a furry pic.
