This is the first thing I've drawn in like 2 months
Added 2021-05-29 00:54:28 +0000 UTCSame deal as last month: I won't be charging you guys because I haven't really done anything for this month.
As for why, it's health related. I've been focusing on lowering my blood pressure, my weight, and figuring out exactly what's causing my intermittent chest pains. I've had ECG/EKG machine tests, and a treadmill stress test which didn't find anything wrong with my heart, but that's only ruling out a few possibilities.
Not to mention my confidence problem. I've tried drawing stuff a few times during these past couple months, but quickly got demotivated when I couldn't produce anything I was happy with.
Anyways, I don't mean to burden you all with my problems, I just want to be open and honest about why I'm not making stuff right now.

Well I can certainly relate to that, but I'd assume there must be a reason that you've managed to get this far and keep yourself going even without confidence, as you said? You put out a lot of quality content and you're very thorough with what you put out, even if ya might not think so. I know self belief with artists in general is hard to come by, but take care of yourself first and then perhaps things could change!

2021-05-31 19:47:22 +0000 UTCYeah, I've already been doing stuff for the past couple years. Just by cutting out soda and being a bit more conscious of how much I eat, I've gone from 310 to 280 lbs. But for the past 6 months I haven't lost any more weight. I'm trying to change my diet by eating even less(and healthier) and trying to stick to at least 30 min of exercise a day. And yeah, I've definitely been keeping my salt intake low.

2021-05-29 21:08:16 +0000 UTCYou are no burden to us. But keep us posted on what you find out about your health. sodium intake/diet can look at, exercise (walking a mile or two a couple times a week still does a fair bit), and trying to keep your esteem up all can help. but only the pros can really give the right answers/directions for you to go by.
