So contrary to popular belief... I never stopped writing.
3 weeks ago
Ever since I joined the 3D medium I have started writing less and less, until at a certain point I just stopped opening up for writing commissions.
I cannot deny the fact that with my writings, I have hit a major burnout and had to take a step back to regain my passion for it, which ultimately I never managed. Never really approached it from a different direction, or wrote stories in different styles, topics, or well, for MYSELF rather than others.
However I never entirely stopped. Before the big burnout, I have finished one story that reached over 20.000 words, which right now is in a state of transition being rewritten completely by none other than
Oversheep, in his writing style, wording and overall English, with which we'll establish a canon that we plan to carry on in the future with more story elements. The story in question carried the codename "Dragon Factory", which will be publicized as Shitting on Company Time. This story will eventually be released upon completion, and will receive further installments in the established canon. It will be on my Patreon at first, for an undefined time (either 1 or 2 months), before going public. No date on this one yet, but just so you know, it is not forgotten.
Beginning roughly during the burnout phase and carrying on afterwards, I also have been assembling a story for a special someone whom I owe a lot to. The story grew itself into a mega-project of MULTIPLE CHAPTERS with the current total being 30.000 words, and it's still not over. This story is a massive Rule 34 piece with Spyro's characters, with each chapter introducing new ones. It will come out in parts, and I am planning to put it on my Patreon, one chapter at time. Over time the whole project will become public, probably releasing chapters once the next one hits Patreon, the previous one becomes public. There are two more chapters left before its eventual conclusion. While there will likely not be any future installments of this story, there will be art tie-ins, as well as 3D renders to accompany the releases. The release of the first chapter I'm estimating somewhere in September, along with the prelude (or prologue or whatever you wanna call it.)
So in short.

So in short.
Two stories are in progress. Both have tons of shitting dragons. How original. One is 20k words and is co-written by Oversheep, and the other has chapters, Spyro dergs and spans 30k so far.The former is being wrapped up, and the latter is hitting my Patreon in September.As for writing commissions, I am not completely sure if I'd be "back" yet in that regard. Once I manage to overcome my burnout in some way shape or form, this might change.Stay tuned.
And I hear you on the burnout... It's real hard to navigate sometimes.
Sorry to hear about the burnout. Things have been a little rough on my end, too. Some days the muses won't leave me alone, but some days they just can't be found no matter how hard I try. Whatever it is I get to thinking I have to create, or when I've got some mostly done thing I can't quite figure out how to finish, it so often just ends up dragging itself out and pissing me off. Give it a rest, maybe? Try something different, you know? Allow yourself to experiment, to doodle some silly kinky garbage even if the result ain't great. I find revisiting an old WIP with a fresh perspective can bring focus and clarity to bogged down sketch layers.
