The other reason for my absence
11 years ago
General
I've already mentioned my depression and disinterest in doing art, both of which are finally clearing up nicely. In fact in regards to my depression I'm beginning to feel stronger than I have in years. (not that I have anything deep and dark, just kind of chronic)
But I keep neglecting to mention the biggest thing that has been keeping me away: my career. Whenever I'm going to spare some time on the computer for art, it's so much easier for me to slip into working on my major 3D portfolio work than to try to prod myself into my 2D art. Furthermore, at this point it's only ramping up. For the rest of February and March I'm going to have to focus pretty hard on this, so it's still a little time yet before you'll see any very regular activity from me.

Just do what you love and don't worry about what others think if you can't go back to doing 2D art. Anyone who expects otherwise from you is simply unreasonable and needs to be smacked.
I wish you luck. :D
It's always good to hear from you and I look forward to seeing your work whenever you're ready to begin posting again. :)
