Boy it's been a while, huh?
4 years ago
So the reason I haven't posted much for such a while is because I haven't really drawn very much. I've been plugging away at outstanding commissions but that was slow going for well over a year, as I'm sure you've noticed.
Long story short I've had problems with depression and anxiety leading to real bad executive dysfunction and general burnout, but I'm hapy to report that it looks like I'm on the mend. I've been drawing again, both commissions and personal stuff, and while I'm not back to my former output, and won't be for a while so as to not overextend and backslide, I am doing stuff again, and it feels good!
Expect more pictures to trickle out kind of regularly from now on. Baby steps!

The best cure for burnout is to take your time, do one thing at a time, take lots of breaks, focus on things that make you happy and most importantly, don't feel like you need to do lots of stuff all the time, what you are comfortable doing and working on should be your threshold, eventually you may push towards doing more than usual, but remember that once things start feeling unfun, giving you anxiety and feeling more like work, that's a good sign you need to dial it back 🙏
And I am so glad to be back, also.
Very happy to hear you're overcoming a lot of those issues, it's a struggle always, but just happy to see you around again!
Twilight Master said all that I might have. We're glad to have you back around here, but you don't have to feel like you need to constantly produce to make your audience happy.
Good luck with getting back into the swing of things, and finding the perfect balance of art and life and everything else. :}===<
Glad you're feeling better and I wish you many a great days~
Please take care of yourself, you're a wonderful person and it's great to chat with you again!
