What Happened
8 years ago
I got crippling depression and can't seem to get out of it.
Steps have been taken.
I can't tell you if I'll pick this whole gallery thing up again right now.
Making a weirdo porn gallery that you can't really go to people with to show what you're doing your thing is kind of a really bad idea that has taken its toll on my psyche but the prospect of never picking it up again seems downright absurd to me even though I just fell into a 2 year break from it.
I'm still a bit traumatized that I just stopped. Just completely gave up.
Anyway, I would like to close this off by thanking everyone who followed me through this so far.
My life has not exactly been sunshine and happiness but being 9_6 did a great deal in helping me cope.
Thank you.

I'm just glad to see you around after so long, and I hope returning to your 9_6 pursuits gives you something to enjoy again. I do enjoy your craft and your wit.
Stay strong fighting the depression, I know that is a hard and slow thing to deal with.
For what it's worth, I feel like you did really great work and folk would be really happy to see you back in business - but you shouldn't consider that a pressure to do so. As others have said, do it if it rewards you, personally. Don't let something meant to help you hurt you. It's good to have purpose, but that purpose should be good for you, personally.
Good luck with the future, and take care, whatever you do. That's all I can think to add.
we re always here for you :3
No reason it has to be all porn, many folks have done SFW images and do quite well.
Please be safe.
Was basically gone for years too, for partly the same reasons. But I couldn't live without doing weird porn.
Furry porn, can't live with it, can't live without it.
It doesn't sound like you've had the best of times... But I do hope you have great ones ahead.
Like I identify with the heavy disappointment that the work you make for this kind of place is private, and can't really be shown to anyone casually in the real world like most art could be. That's a little shitty but it's better than just being totally alone, right.
Keep at it man.
I know the feeling of being unable to talk about this kind of work. I'm still rather new to it and urge sure grows sometimes. So, I made some friends in this community that I can talk to freely about this sort of stuff. Maybe I can't tell my closest of friends, but it's still a sufficient outlet for me. Look at all these people, and they all know your name. I bet any one of them would love to talk :D
I had some depression in my past, so I'll just stick this here too. What helped me back then was knowing that my current actions, whatever action I decided to do at this very moment, would almost completely and instantly rewrite other people's perspectives on me. This helped me take a leap forward and leave behind all my past regrets.
I hope I can see you around some day
