time for a status update.
i've....been struggling. anyone who's been coming to any of my streams on picarto almost surely knows that i've been struggling. i don't know if it's the fact that i was sick from before thanksgiving until almost christmas day, the fact that i worked through all that time and i still had to be present for holiday stuff, if it's the world crumbling around me in this damn country i live in it, the winter cold and darkness getting to me, a combination of those, or nothing at all and just a disturbance in the artiverse giving me killer art block, but....it's been hard. the shapes don't want to work, the lines don't want to thread.
i want to make things and i'm excited and i have ideas, and then i sit down to do it and it's like one huge farting noise in my brain x.x i can't focus, and when i try it's hit or miss if it looks decent.
so i've been reading a lot, because that's all my brain wants to do. i've been doing short little streams to try to chip away at my queue where i can. i've done 5 patreon rewards, 3 edits to old arts, and two illustrations, but i wanted to have like three times that done by now.
i feel awful about it. i had such high hopes going into the month, and i got so many commission forms for projects that i want to do. i just....can't. and i don't know why.
that said, i'm still working. i think i'm out of finished things to queue right now so there'll be a gap in posting, but i'm working. i'm going to finish what i've taken. i just ask for patience, and forgiveness, because i don't know what's up. i need to find my spark again.
i know february is starting soon, but i won't be opening wing-its on jan 30th like a normally would. i'm going to give myself a little extra time to work through stuff, and i'm going to open wing-its on feb 6th. i'm hoping that by the time i start them on 8th, i'll have everything else done. fingers crossed, wish me luck.
i made some actual progress on things yesterday and today, and hopefully that'll continue tomorrow, but for now it's time to chill and rest my arm

All the best! -C
But yeah, sounds like your brain needs a break and to engage your creativity in a different way to refresh it after concentrating on art for so long, the books may be helping with that.
Hopefully you can take an actual rest for some period of time so that you'll be able to recover that spark.
