I made a decision months ago to drop several art-sharing / social media venues as it was tiring after many years' time (decade plus). Also had to take a long break from art sites save for Pixiv though I use it sparingly for reviewing my work for reference. I haven't uploaded anything as I use a laptop instead of a phone (it's inaccessible at the moment).

Once I get back on regularly (looking at January or February 2023) I'll upload new art and save the MaxBradley story for the Tumblr archives to avoid double-posting:

Pixiv will be my main site as I can upload anything I want and in batches if I need to which is a useful feature for concept art.

It's an easy trade off, freedom over 'community engagement'. I learned not to reply to anyone even if it is a compliment lest I recognize them from previous instances and that list is very short. I would have liked most creatives to be genuine but the internet tends to bring out the worst in people and therefore makes them untrustworthy.

I want to get back to my roots as it were to enjoy creating for myself just for the sake of it. If I ever make new connections with art it'll be offline where I can at least get to know them as they really are.

I'm not asking for sympathy, just a modicum of understanding.
