Hiatus
Added 2020-08-13 05:27:53 +0000 UTCHey everyone.
There’s no easy way to say this, but I’m going to take an art hiatus. I don’t know how long this is going to last, but I badly need to recharge.
The truth is I’ve been feeling this way for a while – since Covid started really. I’m on the computer all day. I work from home, close the work laptop, and start on commissions until bed. Every day it’s the same thing. I’ve been stressed. There’s a lot of drama going on in my personal life, but I won’t get into that.
I haven’t enjoyed drawing for quite some time now. I finish a piece and all I can see are flaws. I don’t feel inspired anymore. Instead, I feel drained. I don’t feel I’m improving or taking any risks. I feel like I’m being commissioned to draw the same things over and over. And frankly, I’m sick of it. I’m tired of drawing muscle growth comics. I’m tired of trying to pack as much muscle onto a frame as possible even when it’s past being aesthetically presentable.
And I really have no one to blame but myself. I’ve allowed myself to be put in this box.
I have a few commissions in progress and I’m definitely going to complete those, but afterward I need to take a break to figure out what I want to do with myself and my art. I wish I could tell you how long that will be, but I honestly don’t know. I don’t know if I even want to draw muscle furs anymore. At least not for a few months. I might draw something completely unrelated. I don’t know yet.
If you've just joined my Patreon, I apologize. If you want to cancel your patronage, I understand. You have every right to.
I’m sorry if this comes across as sudden or dramatic, but I need to prioritize myself for a while. Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding.
Till next time,
Artizek
