Figured I owed people an update after my lil crashout so if you wanna avoid a bunch of text feel free to keep scrolling. There's been a lot more than usual dumped on my plate since the holidays and it's required a lot more time and effort to keep up with basic day-to-day responsibilities

That means less time and energy to work on art, but it also means less time and energy to keep up with my social life, my own health and well-being. I wish I could say that things are now finally looking up. They aren't and I don't have much of a plan right now to work on getting into a better spot

The most painful has been not being able to work on art. Both for myself and others. I'm closed for work indefinitely and I've issued refunds to any outstanding comm work left. I really didn't want to, I love drawing for people and the WIPs were promising.

My Patreon is still active as a means for people to help support if they choose to. I also fully understand if people choose to unsubscribe for art they aren't getting anymore. Letting my personal life get in the way of my art work feels unprofessional. But my art is also my personal life.

For now, I'm kinda in uncharted waters. My "real job" is effectively cutting into my REAL job (art) and ironically despite working more hours there, I'm making less money without comm work to supplement. I need to find something that's better for my health and finances. So that's what I'm gonna do.

This is def an L and I just gotta take it. Rest, recover, get healthy again and get back into the fight. If anyone has tips on juggling a tough job and also making progress on art and projects, lemme know. I could use all the help I can get. And thanks for your patience, support, and time.
