As I've mentioned before there have been several reasons why I've more or less quit drawing. Some of this was a simple lack of motivation and ideas, nothing really excited me enough to pick up a pencil. But another (and related) problem, one I haven't generally discussed, was my declining health. I have had vision problems for a long time, worn glasses since I was seven or so, and over the past couple of years my vision has been worsening. It made it hard to see what I was doing and if you look back at my relatively recent work you can see a point where I was no longer able to see well enough to ink my work and had to use Photoshop's pen tool to get it done. As this takes approximately forever it resulted in me finishing something every couple of months at best, most of which hasn't actually been posted here since it's all fantasy RPG related stuff and nothing anthro-related.

Last Tuesday I went in for surgery to try to repair the damage so I could see clearly again, and initially it seemed to work perfectly. When I went in for a checkup the day after the surgery I was able to see better than should have been humanly possible, I could read further down the eye chart than they had ever seen anyone able to do while most people couldn't even read the top line. But now there have been complications and I might lose my vision in that eye completely, leaving me with one barely-functional eye. I was going to have surgery on that one as well, but at this point, it's no longer an option, I can't risk losing both of them in an effort to improve the one I may end up left with. I will be going in for another surgery, maybe today, in the hopes that this complication can be corrected. If so, great, I may be able to get back to work. But if not, well, I guess that's that.

I only mentioned this to a few people since I know that nobody wants to hear me talk about my problems, there's always way too much of that going around as it is. But I figured all those people who have followed my work the last few years deserve to know. I've had fun drawing stupid and sexy things, and hope I'll be able to do so in the future, but at any rate thanks for coming along for the ride and enjoying my dumb crap. I've enjoyed working on it and enjoyed the company, if you don't hear from me again, thanks for being there. So... Merry Christmas I guess, and all that. Here's hoping.
