That's such a shame.. your art really is brilliant. Good luck in the future, dude.

thanks, I'll need it. <3

I was hoping that things would be getting better for me, motivation wise, but my urges to draw are just growing smaller and smaller and further apart.
maybe it'll come back, when that is, I don't know.

It could be just a massive art block that you -need- to go through, mind. I've had it happen. Literally months apart without drawing, and I've been drawing since I was a toddler. It was tough, but necessary.

And a talent will be missed.

At least in my opinion. I really love your works and was hoping to do a collab eventually. <3 Do what you must.

I totally understand. Sometimes an extended break's just what's needed.
Maybe it'll come back in the future.

:V As long as yer still around, ahaha.
Best of luck to you with everything, man.

Good luck on whatever catches your eye next! Let us know what's going on now and then. Peace!

I'll definitely still be around to bother y'all with silly journals and leave ridiculous comments. <3

and thanks!

Yay silly journals and comments!

I had a year like that, where doing anything creative felt like a chore, with just little small things I managed to get out that I felt were well below what I was capable of. Only now am I getting back into the grove of things, and it's starting to come to me and be enjoyable again. I'm not all the way back, but I know I'm getting back.

The more your try to force it, the worse it's likely to get. Walk away for a while, keep it in mind, and maybe scribble some things if the mood strikes you again.

Hmm, taking a timeout can result both into you either finding bac to hard or may cause you to find it even harder whenver you try to get back into it again.

I felt like that about my art until recently, when I ecided to just stop trying so hard about art. I started doodling around mindlessly again regardless of it turning out great or not, but idk if that's your issue or not

I fully understand where you are coming from. I “quit” art for well over a year once, and I must say I did find it a nice break and I strangely found my work much better on returning even though I did not draw a single thing in that time haha. I am sure your creative muse will spark again when you least expect it, but as always art is about doing what you enjoy. And if it’s not enjoyment you gain from it anymore a break even a indefinite one, is very much a good thing

they say the hardest part of being an artist is staying an artist. good luck with future endeavors!

Glad to hear that you're not going to purge your gallery, as you really do have some fantastic work in there. :)

There's never any problem with taking a break and going on to discover new and exciting things to fill your time and ambitions with. Though I do hope that you find an artistic muse again in the future, as it would be a shame for the world to never see all the potential artwork still locked up inside. :D

Heh, in ten or so years time you might suddenly come over with the massive, uncontrollable urge to draw again, grab the first piece of paper to hand and sketch all over it.

And then your copilot will glare at you and demand his flight checklist back.

Know just how you feel, I've pretty much been on an "unofficial" hiatus for about two years, dotted with the odd piece of artwork here and there when I thought I might have had an idea that attains me that elusive prize: getting noticed. (Never does). It's pretty sad when drawing just gives you no pleasure any more and again I know just how that feels. What makes you different though is that your artwork has always been excellent and a pleasure to view, regardless of subject matter. Still, I'm not one to do the whole "omg don't leave" thing, as I know all too well there comes a time when you just want to put it all to one side and walk away for a bit. I should know, I've done it twice and am pretty sure I'm about to do it again. All I will say is I hope it's not permanent, but that whatever you do during it is what you want to be doing and brings you pleasure. Think it would all do us some good to escape this bizarre fandom for a time! Hmm, seeing as you won't be needing them for a while, can I borrow your epic art skills while you're not using them? :3

Always sad when it happens, but when it happens it happens, I wish you luck with whatever you stear your aim next, and if you ever come back to drawing, I´ll gladly look forward to it.

I very much enjoyed watching your art over the past couple of years. good luck with what ever you decide to do in life

It's all good link, I had to take a long brake before I came back to my sketch book and my pen. You can always direct your creative attention to a new subject later, other then drawing, possibilities are only limited by how far you are willing to reach for them. I come back my self after each brake, for what reason I can not put a definite finger on, but point in all directions about myself.

You and your art, always felt good as one to me.

oh, that's very sad to hear, but i can also see that it's best if you sort your life out and put everything else on the side for an undetermined amount of time. i honestly hope you will get well soon, no matter whether you'll draw again or not.

also now i feel reminded of this scene in Blade Runner, where that genius-guy says "the light that burns twice as bright burns for half as long - and you have burned so very, very brightly!". i hope that's not the case here... :-/
