Art Hiatus + Where to Find Me
5 years ago
Its been a hot minute since I've posted anything here eh? I haven't been the most active on FA lately and sadly that's going to continue for a while. But since I'm posting this message on all my other platforms, I figure its best to let people on here know too, so have a copypasted message from my twitter/dA
If you're looking for me I'm more active over at these sites - feel free to hmu on either of them if you need me for anything!

Hey all. I really wanted to get back into things once my eyes got better but doing work through this process and having that + health conditions + things piling up while I'm healing is making me realize something.
I'm completely creatively burnt out and I need a hiatus
I'm so sorry to keep pushing commissions back since I know that so many people across my social medias are interested in them! But drawing has just been so hard and stressful lately and I've just hit that point where it feels like a chore rather than something I actually enjoy. Its honestly super scary to realize that!! so I need to take a step back and reassess everything going on with me and my work and where I really want to go with art and everything.
I started doing commissions in 2014 and have prioritized those above every other form of work for the past 6 years until now! Its been super rewarding working for everyone and I'm seriously over the moon knowing that so many people like my work and want to keep getting their characters in my style! But I've noticeably struggled with the last few rounds of work I've done and just feel like its not fair on you guys or myself if I'm not putting my best foot forward on your commissions. I take pride in my work even if they're just lil doot doot blob icons and?? You guys just deserve the good stuff. That I can't give right now. So I need to step back and just re-evaluate everything .-.
I've got a TH full of characters that need art and stories and profile coding, as well as a fanfic that's been patiently waiting for me to get started on it since 2018, so I'll be turning my attention to those for a little while. I'd also like to get a patreon organized and try my hand at making merch so those might pop up in the future? There's a lot I need to think about but right now I just want to focus on winding down and rekindling that spark that made me love drawing in the first place since right now its not fun any more and that's scary. Once I'm more comfortable I'll probably open up a waiting list for commissions, but for now any outside work is just completely off the table.
Anyway TLDR: I'm going on an indefinite art hiatus and am no longer taking commissions. Please do not ask me about them, I want to just take the time to wind down and work on my personal things for a bit until I get into a better headspace about work and drawing in general! At this point I'm not sure when I'll open up again.
I hope you all understand ;u;
