Some personal vent art. Been trying to draw what I've been feeling over the past few weeks but none of them really came out right.
The reason why I haven't been so active online lately - with uploads, commissions and communication, is because I've been going through some tough situations lately, mostly involving my own mental health. It took a plummet this month and its taking me a while to crawl out of the hole. However whenever I'm near the top, something else happens that causes me to slip and fall downwards. I can't seem to catch a break. I have trouble finding motivation to work when depression and lack of a good sleep is hindering me - finding myself taking longer to get commissions done. I'm slowly getting better; trying to find light to continue to walk towards.
Just wanted to give everyone an update. If you are on my commission queue and have any questions or concerns, please contact me.

"To find the strength to continue, when all strength has left you.
To find joy, even as darkness descends.
And amidst deepest despair, light everlasting."
Your art has been a light in a weary world. Now look to others that offer a similar light. Keep trying. Keep walking. If you fall, pause to take a breath, and then keep going.

I completely understand how hard it is but you gotta try to stay strong. I know it's hard to do but sometimes that's all you can do. Always remember to take time for your mental health and for yourself. I'm sorry you're feeling so down and I hope you can get out of it soon because you deserve to be happy and have a good life!
I resonate with these feelings on many levels. Things are always slapping me down when I get up and it makes it difficult to cope with all the negativity in the air. Things will improve for you, may not be now, or tomorrow but it will happen. I wish you all the best feelings and positive vibes.
I hope things go well for ya. I have been feeling pretty low and have been avoiding online and people activity for a week and a half now Its nice to know that people poke at me wondering if I am okay so I hope the same sentiment can be said for you for wishing you well in these troubling times.
It's okay to have an off day. Or an off week, or month. Sometimes you just need a break. Take care of yourself. Put art on hold for a while and try something else. Read a book, play a game, try gardening maybe. Creativity is a muscle, and sometimes muscles just get exhausted and need time to recuperate.
Please accept an internet stranger's offer of well wishes and affection. You always know how to take issues difficult to put into words, and express them as little comics and images that are so moving and powerful. I've shared your work with others so many times to explain the unexplainable. Your work is not just amazingly cute, it makes a difference.
