If it wasn't obvious before, the quality of my work as of recently has been deteriorating, whether it is a missing transition image which results in the story seeming to make a small jump ahead or just missing details in the image that I would have otherwise not missed. For example in this set of images, I forgot to have my mouth open for when I was speaking, however I did remember to do it on the soldier for some reason. For the past few months, whenever I worked on these images I have just wanted to keep them as simple as possible and in a way that doesn't require as much time to complete. Every day I think about what I need to do or what I want to accomplish on that day obsessing about having to stay productive. I even pace back and fourth in my room, sometimes as late as 03:30 thinking about what I want to accomplish or mentally preparing myself for something that is almost certainly never going to happen. I've seen other folks run into a similar issue and although I knew it was possible that it could happen to me, I didn't realize that it would happen to me.

That being said, I think I am going to take a break, so don't expect more renders or images in the near future. However, rest assured that I will return to making more renders once my energy/passion returns.
