Right so I sorta dropped off on here for a few months. Sorry about that. But honestly those of you who knew me back on DA are probably used to me going dark out of nowhere (Not that it's a good thing as I seriously need to stop doing that but I digress)
To put it simply I had what someone may call an "existential crisis". I questioned if I even liked making art, if what I made could be something I can be proud of, and for a minute there actually considered to stop drawing completely because honestly for a good month or two I couldn't even put pencil to paper to attempt a sketch because I just felt so anxious. Sorta felt like I wasn't drawing because I wanted to, but just because my friends and others seemed to like it.
That all being said, I am back. And happy to say that I am in a much better headspace now. In fact I am probably in a better mindset than I have had in years. Plus not only am I enjoying art again, but I'm taking more time with each sketch as I genuinely enjoy the process. Hell I'm even playing with the idea of writing stories.
Going forward I'm gonna put more emphasis on making stuff I want to create and maybe experiment with some stuff. And yes I fully intend on making DiD/GiD art still, for a minute I wasn't sure but honestly I'd be lying of I said I didn't like making it. Plus hey you guys seem to enjoy it so...
As for that comic I started, "Gracie's Great Escape", I may put that on a small Hiatus. Mainly because I would like to more properly write a storyline for it, but also because I would like to improve my skill before making more. And honestly I would rather not force it out, as I believe the quality of the comic would be damaged should I try and pump pages out inspite of not actually being passionate about the project. I know some people wanted more of that comic, and I am sorry. I will return to it at a later date.

Most artists have occasional bouts of existential depression/anxiety, even WITHOUT a global pandemic making things worse.
