Update on Art & Life
6 months ago
Hi, first off: I am very behind on my commission queue, and I do apologize, the past month has been a lot, but it's about time I gave some kind of update:
The bad first: I've been hit by a NSFW artblock, I've had this kind of burnout many times, so I know this will resolve too, but for the moment it's caused a pause on my predominately NSFW queue. It is vital I feel passion for what I'm making in order to make anything worthwhile, so I will continue/start the pieces in my queue once the NSFW artblock completely lifts. I will not be taking on any new comms until I complete all of my current ones. Progress status can be seen on my Trello, or the previous commission journals here.
I specifically call it a NSFW artblock because on the good side of things: I still have passion for SFW comfort art. Outer Wilds lore & fiction is very much keeping me actively creating, even when everything else about life right now is a phenomenally stressful drain, it's like a bright spark in the dark, a campfire even.
Speaking of life, I have been devoting a ton of time to job hunting, and finally have a good thing to say on that front: I now have two IRL jobs. Neither pay well and hours vary a lot, but combined should cover a bit of stuff if I can do enough. Hopefully in time things will balance out a bit, where I'm bouncing between the two jobs & artwork somewhat evenly. Fingers crossed!
For the moment, art progress will continue to be slow, but I want you to know art progress is still happening, and everything I have and am doing to regain a more-stable living situation is so I can have time to create more art, SFW & NSFW alike.
Hope you're all taking care of yourselves, keep on surviving.

Take it at your own pace. 2 jobs at the same time sounds rough but you sound like youre able to handle it, glad you found a job at all. So many friends struggling with it recently. Best of luck on getting over your block aswell, at least take solance in knowing that your fans understand and support ya no matter what.


Thank you Bud, I really appreciate it!

Just keep trying your best. I've been getting rejected here and there and decided to just embrace i and deal with it. But I guess i've been ok. Somewhat. Just keep trying your best to get through it all.


Mitsy, I love your work. So I am more than happy to wait until you can feel that passion because that level of passion shows in your work.


Thank you Panzer, that's super kind! :3
