I'm back?
a year ago
...Hello.
I've been quiet here for a long time, and I hope at least someone here still remembers me, haha. I'm going to revive this page, so I'll be posting some old artwork here until I get to new ones. I'm also planning on opening some commission slots, so if you're interested, keep an eye!
Actually, I want to share something, which, perhaps, was the reason for my long absence. For the past... 2 years, I guess, I've been in a sort of burnout. I'm not sure if it can be called that, because I continued to draw, and did it consistently. But I received no contentment from this, I started each new piece with the hope that maybe at least this time I would enjoy, but each time I was frustrated with the result, and the process itself was tedious. I noticed that I was almost no longer pleased with the feedback, I didn't feel the desire to share what I was creating. But I continued because I can’t imagine it could be any other way, and I couldn’t afford myself even a short break because of the guilt.
Now I'm better, but I can’t be sure that I won’t fall into this state again. Anyway, I'll try to prevent this from happening.
If you're here, please let me know! Your support is really important to me right now.
Thank you for attention!

But if not, maybe something else out there is your true passion, too!
Burnout often isn't seen as a friend to anybody, but it actually is in some regard. Basically, that's the brain's way of saying "TIME-OUT!! I need a breather!" It is often 'looked down' upon within our workaholic society, but an individual still needs attention and / or a break. So, good on you for recognizing the 'symptoms.'
Also, it's a nice opportunity to get away from the computer, and go do something else for awhile.
Just take breaks often if you need to; there's no shame in that!
