I'm here to support you no matter what, Birdy. Regardless of content, pairing, characters, etc. I'll always be one of your biggest fans. Your art is captivating. Your understanding of colors, intimacy, and body language draws people in for a reason. I hope you hold onto that spark. Your art has been a gateway for so many people and that will never change.
awwww Alto, thank you so much <333
My one goal as an artist has always been to try and tell a character's through pictures that still feels believable, and organic in way that I find difficult to as a writer. I want the reader/viewer to feel what said character(s) are feeling - I want it to feel real.
The caveat to this being, if I don't believe it why should I expect anyone else too. Which is kind of where I'm at now. Am I sad about it? I'd be lying if I said I wasn't. Are there days I want to have a screaming tantrum about it? Yes! Today for instance lmfao!!!! But (deep breath) I've spent the last...er...4.5 ish years specifically making stuff for them so maybe a little time away is what I need to go back to them and feel that spark again in the future. And if not, so be it. I'm proud of what I've done to date and no one can take that from me.
And okay that got more maudlin than I expected (sorry π) but all of this to say, THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your support π€ it means a lot to me to know I'll still have it even if I move away from certain areas of fandom for a while.
