Writing this as a semi vent to myself as a sort of atonement

I have not been active in the art community for a long time, with covid hitting and the death of one of my best most cherished friends I just.. lost all drive to create. With the recent development in ai art I feel as though people don't appriciate hard work as much as they used to in art and feel like most of my development has been for nothing.

There are promises I regret have not made yet and will not know when I can finish them and I'm terribly sorry if there are any that check back wondering if I would be open again someday.

I wish to return to art and make up for the promises/comissions I havnt delivered while not as that many, the couple I havnt finished still weighs heavily and I feel like currently I can't deliver until I have the passion again.

I can't make any more promises to myself or to others until I see results and while to some it's probably not a big deal I want to apologize to the few I have let down.

Maybe someday I'll have the passion again and be happy to return but for right now, I don't see when I will.
