Update!
Added 2025-01-15 22:10:31 +0000 UTCHey guys! Hope everyone's entering the start of a new year content and safe!
First of all, sorry for entering an hiatus unnanounced in the last months. Long story short; last year I said I wanted to take a step back and reconnect with my art cause drawing was hard for me... and then I had a reeeeal hard time trying to achieve that :') as much as I said I wanted to draw more of what I wanted, and disconnect from the 'produce content for an audience' mindset, I couldn't come up with anything to draw that I didn't perceive as 'audience demand'; not without feeling guilty, and it fed into a cycle where I couldn't draw anything at all.
I'm writing this for the sake of transparency on why I have been absent, and what my intentions are now; I won't make any promises to become more active, cause that would feed into the cycle of obligation and guilt. I can share that I'm in a better mindset and slowly feeling comfortable drawing again, but it's a deeply personal journey and I want to respect my pace; I will (try to) not rush myself to show activity.
My intention with this platform currently is to run it as the feed where I post my art - when I make it - with a little more insight than my public socials (WIPs, scraps, uncensored NSFW - when I make it) for whomever chooses to support me for how long they wish, even a single time - because I won't be working under a schedule.
This was what I wanted to convey in last year's post, and I want to reiterate now that I see my needs as a creator more clearly. I might still go weeks, months without new finished drawings to show, and completely understand if you prefer to discontinue your pledge at any point. I'm thankful for anyone who liked my art enough to even tip me once! Specially since the change, and even more so from now on, 'cause I'll put effort in making it for the joy of it, and not for "deserving" support.
Thank you for reading!
