I started to make macro photomorphs and much to my surprise they were very well received! Every time I made one I felt like I got a little bit better each time and improved on both the visual and even the writing aspect too. Your Favs/Watches/Comments as well as my artistic progression drove me to make more and better pics - to try stuff I wasn't comfortable with - all in an shared experience that I've never had in my 10+ years of being on FA. It was the single best thing that has ever happened to me as a furry.
Now, when I'm searching for new photos, or struggling with textures I don't seem to have the same energy - it all feels like work. I don't enjoy the end product as much as i did when I first started, but everyone still seems to like them and I want to keep you all happy. I feel there's a disconnection between me as the artist and my work - people praise the work I did but I have a hard time accepting it knowing I gave up on my linework to be here.
So with that weight in mind, I'm thinking of taking an extended break for photomorphing to focus on my linework, fixing my tablet setup, and starting the 'Draw-a-Box' program. This will take a looong time but I hope you all will stick along with me on this journey.
And who knows! Maybe I'll improve on my linework just like I did for photomorphs....hehe
Anyways, thanks for reading, you are the best! <3

Artworks of your creation should be fun and not a chore. If you gotta take a pause from that kind of art, do so!
I know we haven't chatted much before but your support lately has been making me feel better about everything.
You're truly awesome
Glad to hear I've been of help for ya, man. And thank you very much!
Also, I'll admit it, I'll miss the modified photos for a while, but you can't rush art and risk for it to be stale. Be sure to take all the rest you need before returning, as well as try new stuff in the meanwhile! ^^
