Log Date 2-6-21: An upcoming "sorta-hiatus"
5 years ago
Howdy there, friend,
2020 wasn't a fun year, and I'll be entirely honest 2021 wasn't off to a good start for my family and I. To put it bluntly, during the course of January alone both my grandmother and my oldest cat both passed away. As sad as it is, they weren't taken by... well, comparatively bad circumstances; Grandma wasn't taken by covid, but rather complications due to ovarian cancer. and Catty simply passed due to old age; She was over 20 years old when she went. It's been hard on us, but we're surviving.
As for this "sorta-hiatus"
Because of these losses, I feel I've been pushing myself to draw and such simply for the sake of blocking out what's happening. So to avoid potential burn-out, and maybe better my mental standings in a better way, I'm going to be slowing down art drastically for now.
I only plan on working on the must-be-done's, namely Patreon-related projects. I'm not sure how long exactly I'll want to do this, but It's probably better than burning myself out and being sad as hell on two fronts. I'm not gonna be dropping off the face of the earth or anything, in fact I'll probably be around The Official Discord a bit if you wanna join and chat, but I'll save the shameless plugging for less depressing announcements.
tl;dr Death in the family has been making me use art to block out the world, and risk art burnout, so I wanna take a step back for a while and only work on Patreon stuff and maybe better my brain for a while.
Anyhoo, I hope you all stay safe, give your grandparents and pets a hug for me, and hopefully February and beyond have some good news in store!

It's perfectly understandable to need some rest, especially after everything that's been going on. I've had a similar situation where, on top of everything, I've lost a lot of people unrelated to covid and just had a rough time. I also lost my cat last year due to old age, he was roughly 20 as well so I'd had him with me most of my life. This year is all about surviving until things get better, just do what you need to do.

Give yourself lots of presents, like an extra pancake, or extra whipped cream in coffee if that's your thing.
