Hello everyone, surprised to be hearing from me again huh?
First of all, I want to apologize yet *again* for the lack of updates, art and especially communication. It’s obviously not very appropriate for me to just disappear like that, and I do apologize greatly.
It’s been a pretty agonizing couple (read: massive amount) of months, and I’ve been doing so much that I haven’t been taking the time to draw at all. It’s been *that* bad.
If you don’t already know, my mother has Rheumatoid Arthritis, and is currently bed-ridden. She’s been so for over 6 months now, and I’ve been having to take care of her pretty much every day. She doesn’t make things easier for me either, and I’ve been struggling at a lot of other things I need to be doing because of it, hence the massive dry spot in art.
My depression hasn’t been doing me any favors either, and with that and the fact that I have to take care of my mother constantly every day with no breaks and practically no time to myself, ‘ve basically thrown a lot of projects and my art-making to the wayside. It’s hard, like…. Really hard. Because I’m too occupied with this care situation, my mind (and body :/) immediately throws out being able to draw or work on things because getting in the mood to draw requires a hell of a lot of focus for me, and I obviously can’t have that when I have to constantly get up to give someone water, or food, or some late night snack because they can’t get up and do it themselves (can you tell I’m pissed?)
I guess you could say that I’ve been on a uhhh… mandatory hiatus? That I’d like to return from.
Fortunately, lately things have been…. easing up, kinda. And with that and my motivation to draw in full effect, I may get back into drawing soon. *Maybe*. I very, *very* much cannot say when I’ll be returning or when I’ll be posting art again, but I do have some plans in place for when I do.
For starters, I won’t be opening for commissions until I can fully invest myself in doing art, and can actually have a consistent upload and art schedule. I’m already months late on 2 art trades, so taking commissions for money while I’m in the garbage (read: landfill fire) mental-state I’m in right now would be extraordinarily irresponsible and pretty stupid lol, so that’ll be way later. My plan is it ease into doing art first with personal pieces. I have some projects I’d like to get back to, especially with my personal species, and since I don’t want to work on the art trades and other pieces I owe others just yet (because I want them to actually look good), I figured the personal pieces I have on the backburner will be a great warmup.
After that, I’ll start on the trades, then prepare for a few commissions and see how that goes. We’ll see how that goes, and if all goes well, maybe I’ll open up for a few more!
As per the usual, I’d like to extend a gargantuan thank you to everyone who’s been supporting me so far, especially with you guys’ unbridled patience for my dumbass lol. I’m working as hard as I can, and I cannot *wait* to finally get back into drawing again and posting content for you guys to enjoy.
I’ll see you all soon, and god bless. Love you!!
