The following originated from my FurAffinity journal
section. It's here for archival purposes.
Hello Everyone.
This is the first time I've ever resorted to this in my ~5 years of being an
internet artist, but I think it's time. As much as it pains me to say, I will be
going on a small break from art altogether, I feel as if it's for my own health.
In recent months, my anger and stress levels have been building up constantly. I
used to be excited to start doodling, and now? I just dread it. I dread it to
the extent where I can't even bring myself to do any personal art. Yesterday the
dam that's been holding everything back started to crack, resulting in me
deleting some art, and cancelling/refunding all of my commissions. While a
night's sleep did help a little afterwards, it didn't do much, as the crack was
still very much present. Today, I finally snapped and broke down in a bout of
extreme anger. My computer mouse had gotten obliterated in the process.
I've not stopped feeling like utter crap since. So me and other's have come to
the conclusion that I just need a break. The break being indefinite is
unfortunately not out of the question.
You may be asking what this will mean. Here's a quick summary.
-All pending commissions have been cancelled. All clients have been refunded.
-New Commissions and YCHs are on hold. Meaning that for now, all commission
requests will be rejected.
-Unless I have a spike of art motivation, you will not be seeing any new art
from me.
-For how long this break lasts has not been decided. Unfortunately, Indefinite
is now out of the question.
-If I decide that it's time to leave art stuff behind for good, I will not
delete anything for archival purposes.
Stay safe out there, and depending on how long I take, I hope you have a good
Christmas and happy new year.
