Dont you worry about that, Karu.

The most important thing is that you dont overwork yourself.

Just enjoy that vacation without a single worry.

Thanks, i just am worrying about people who're waiting for their pieces to be done, honestly. Will get back in shape for sure~

Well yeah, that could be a bit of a issue, but its better to take a break and come back reinvigorated.

Wouldn`t be good if the quality dropped because of how you`re feeling right now.

you could try doing manual work. i found that it helps me to grind off stress. good luck

You can pause your patron for a month with a button press you know mate. Don't need to tell all your supporters to run away. *Thumbs Up*

Awwr... Get well soon, Karukuji! I love your art style, and I'd hate for anything bad to happen to you.

Hey, if things stress you out this much. You more than deserve a vacation. Rest well, and have some fun. Don't worry about us here. We will get by, but you are the one who deserves the choice of staying or going.

We will await your full return and welcome it, we will also wait for the cocks'n'asses.

Get well and have a good time, Karukuji.

We all love your art and your Youtube Videos.

Everyone will understand that from time to time a break is necessary.

Good luck to you

As I always say, your personal health and well-being is paramount above all else. Try not to weigh yourself down too much over the expectations of others. Do what's right for yourself and come out on top fresh and ready

You're too good at those subjects to forget how to every draw them so well - You'll be fine Blue! Best wishes~ <3

I thank you very much for the update. Its means a lot to me as a commissioner to receive updates even if progress is slow or comes to a halt. I have no problem waiting. It is VERY important to me that I know the artist is happy and wanting to do art because, as you said, if you're mind isn't in it then the quality will suffer. I fully understand that and WILL NEVER rush or push ANY artist to hurry up and get art done. Art takes time and when it gets done is when it gets done.

So again, this is no problem at all. As I mentioned months ago I consider myself lucky to have won a chance to get art from one of my most favoritestestestest artists, and I'd wait 6 more months (or even longer) simply because I love what you do. So don't worry about me or my commission, friend. I have no problem waiting. <3 <3 ^_^ <3 <3

Vacation is common, no matter any line of work.
You shouldn't apologize for it because everyone needs to take a break, unless they want to overwork themselves and cause harm to themselves. I hope you'll be able to relax though and enjoy the vacation time you take!

Have you discovered what the source of the stress is? A vacation can be wonderful, but without discovering the root of the problem and taking the steps to correct it, your worries may simply follow you around, vacation or not. I, for instance, tried to take repeated vacations when I grew overwhelmed, only to find myself unable to because of the commissions I owed people. And what felt really exhilarating was just me being honest with my clients and telling me what ailed me and offer them the possibility of a refund, or a small compensation in case they decide to wait further and put their trust in me.

The responses I got from them were very positive, and hearing them say it with their own words that they prefer me to finish my work than giving them a refund did wonders to my psyche. The brain's a bastard and creates all of these doomsday scenarios that make you feel terribly guilty and bad about your art(Either because you're not as good as others, not as fast as others, etc), and this can quickly become a debilitating feeling.

So what made you struggle with the last pieces? What makes drawing unfun for you? And in a hypothetical scenario, what could make drawing fun again? Write down the answers to these questions, and afterwards, see which elements you can take steps towards improving. Putting your problems down onto a physical(notebook) or digital format(a text document) is much much better than keeping it all in your head and it can also act as a motivational goal.

I've been working through similar stuff too, was scared I was losing my artistic talents. It would be better to focus on yourself for a while. I'm glad you realized you needed a break, it's better for your own mental health. Just take it easy and don't worry about people getting upset. If they truly do understand, they would give you the time you need.

Hey, no worries about that kind of thing. Rest and relaxation is very important, and getting away from the 'usual grind' of work and whatnot is equally important for your health. Take as much time as you need. Your health is one of the most important aspects of keeping yourself happy and you should never put that on the back burner for the sake of money. Once your health starts to tank, then so will the ability to earn an income. Always seek a balance and if you need to, then taking care of yourself should 100% always come first.

If anyone tries to crack a whip to make you work when you need to focus on something else, then you need to separate yourself from that person. So don't let anyone be toxic toward you in regards to this decision.

Stress is a beast to deal with. Feeling too worn out to work is a grim state to be in. (I work six-day work-weeks, so I know how that feels.)
Take all the time you need to recharge. Don't worry, I'm not to un-watch you no matter how long you are gone. Good luck.

I’m always here for you
