update on the urgency, some info & my huge thanks
Posted 4 years ago
hi, folks! first and foremost, it's an enormous relief of mine to be finally able to announce that
.・゜-: ✧ :- the urgency has gone -: ✧ :-゜・．I've purchased my first medication a week ago, & now I have enough money to afford the second one! < ;▽; >
thanks to all the amazing & kind people that had reached out to me in the past 2 weeks, I was able to raise $200 despite just having started posting my art online. yes, I haven't published any of my works on any of the relevant international platforms before. it wasn't an easy decision to force myself to do so.
last time I've posted my art online was back in April of 2018, on a CIS-based website. around that time my life started to take a rather unfortunate turn, & I've decided to stop publishing my stuff for an unknown period of time. I've improved quite a lot since then – both in terms of art skills & health, and now I'm at least somewhat confident in my abilities and ambitions.
good things don't last forever. 2021 turned out to be the most stressful year of my life. my SO lost his parent to COVID, I've dropped out of uni for the 3rd time in a row, & my bouquet of mental disorders has manifested with severe intensity. I'm unable to work a regular job – I've been having immense trouble focusing, analyzing & remembering basic information for more than 2 years now; my metabolism is shit, I feel tired even if I do nothing throughout the day.
by the end of October, I was literally falling apart. no degree, no job, little to no compassion from my own family. but thanks to some truly exceptional, supportive & inspiring people in my life, I finally realized that if I want art to become my main focus in life, then it's either now or never.
the anxiety of uploading your first artwork to an empty gallery is unbearable. the desperate wait for tiny bits of recognition and validation is exhausting. the uncontrollable urge to compare yourself to other artists is painful.
but the first light-hearted interaction with a stranger, the first word of support towards your work and the first successfully finished commission is worth the stress. communicating with wonderful, talented people is worth it. being able to push yourself forward is worth it.
once I'm finished with my pending comms & trades, I'll try to work on my personal art for a bit – I can't remember last time I've actually wanted to do so, and that alone says a lot. stay tuned for more completed works instead of messy sketches, fully-fledged commissions info & some questionably edgy adoptables. sketch commissions are also staying – I'm always happy to do a lil drawing for any of you.
cheers & stay safe! < •'▽'•> ♥
