Stepping back for a bit

With a heavy heart, I must step away from social media for a bit. This includes messaging platforms like Discord and Telegram. Stepping back was something I didn’t want to resort to; however, with all the physical and mental pain I have been enduring these last weeks, I am left with no other choices. I can barely take care of myself, let alone run a business. I am in a very fragile state. This last month has worn me down. I can barely go 15 minutes into a drawing session without feeling debilitating depression. I am petrified to even pick up my stylus. I can’t sleep, because I worry about failing not only at art but failing the amazing community I found myself lucky to be in.

I am going to need some time. Time to get myself in order, and time to be able to draw again. This will likely be a month or two, maybe even longer. I deeply apologize to everyone who has been supporting me. From the commissioners in my queue who know have to wait longer, or the Patreons who won’t have any new content to vote on/ see progress of. I know how lucky I am to have all these amazing folks supporting my dream. It devastates me to let you guys down. I will do my best to get back on my feet as soon as possible. 

From the bottom of my heart, I am sorry and will see you all again soon.

A specific message for my Patreons. As I mentioned before I do not plan to post on Patreon while I take this mental break. This means no Hefty Hiatus update for the next month or two, and progress work on commissions since I won’t be producing any. I do not plan on shutting down my Patreon during this time. I don’t want to take away what I already have as a resource for people. However, I do implore you to become a free member or unsubscribe during my time away. I do not want you guys paying me while I am providing nothing for who knows how long. You all have supported me more than I can ever express. I am forever grateful for your kindness. I just don’t want to take advantage of it. Please unsubscribe, and when I am back posting content, you can rejoin.

Kygen!! You're not letting anybody down and certainly not failing at art. Like everyone else who works, you deserve a break even though the current state of things makes you feel guilty for taking one - you're not a machine. I'm so sorry you've found yourself in this position, I like many others here would love to help and support you anyway we can when you're ready. Take the time you need and we'll be here for you when you feel better. <3 *big soft Wolfbear hugs*

Hey there, please take all the time you need. I know it is hard to open up about the struggles you're facing and it takes a lot of courage too. All the best to you on your journey.

Hey, Kygen. It breaks my heart to hear what you're going through. Please take the time you need. I'm rooting for you!

Self-care has to come first, Kygen! Take care!

I want you to know as a friend that you're doing the right thing here. It's much better to step back when you realize something's wrong and try to fix it than to let the problem continue to fester and grow, causing much more damage in the end. My pledge stays because I want to support you through the good and the bad. Your community loves you and I'm sure they will understand. Much love and many hugs ❤️

Levi

Oh well, I hope you feel better soon, Kygen! I get it, honestly we all need a break sometime in our lives so no need to worry, we all understand, so take care of yourself, and Stay Fresh Kygen!
