Taking a Break.
6 years ago
Hey guys. I'm going to make this short if I can. I'm going to take several days off right now to get myself in a better headspace and take time to make some personal art.
I know I've been rather quiet online lately, but I've been trying to keep my head down while I've been chugging away at art and my backlog, however I've slowed down significantly the past week or so due to a fair bit of depression and stress getting out of control. The last two days in particular I've just stared at a blank screen trying to make art with no good turnout while stressing out more and more over wasting that time. I sort of had a small breakdown yesterday because of it and today was no better.
Although I have a ton of pressure on me to keep working, I desperately need a vacation. I haven't taken a real break from work in nearly half a year, and its been even longer since I've worked on any personal art. I can't even express how shitty it feels to have to constantly pump out art for people and not have time for any of my own ideas or make stuff that would make me really happy. In fact, in the last two years I've only finished 2 or 3 pieces of art for myself.
So I will be away until Monday, doing some much needed personal art for my own sanity before I have a full breakdown. Thank ya'll for your continued patience.

I'm sorry to hear that you've been struggling. I hope that this much deserved time will help alleviate the pressure. You take as much time as you need to decompress. You owe it to yourself to tend your own well being.
