Depression and the Importance of taking Breaks
Posted 3 months agoHello everyone!
I feel like at this point I owe my watchers an apology.
As you can see by reading this message: Im not dead, I just took a longer unplanned break.
I've been battling seasonal depression ever since the start of summer and had a lot of stress regarding my rl job on top of the ever-present "Weltschmerz" regarding current political events.
I started working on this furry project of mine a bit more seriously since the start of the year and I gotta admit that I expected way too much of myself.
Doing all these 3D models, poses and preparing the posts took a ridiculous amount of time from my days. I wanted to stay consistent so desperately that I had some kind of burnout apparently.
On top of that I worked on some free commissions and had a few bad experiences to the point where I couldn't even finish the ones where people have been nice to me.
I will try to post more art soon, but I don't wanna do this on a weekly basis anymore.
If I feel overwhelmed I'll take some breaks here and there going forward.
I hope it will impact the quality of my work in a positive way so I can improve as an artist.
I hope you all have a wonderful day.
And thanks for your understanding!
