#im quitting

i loved her new sprites so much but I have only one issue. I can't stop tearing up at her crying sprites like I genuinely start sobbing when I think about it

Its been brought to my attention that my art has become triggering to people and that because of my leniency on censors people have been hurt. I never intended to cause people pain with my art, its my way of expressing my feelings so sometimes when i draw things that are potentially triggering towards others i don’t think about how it may affect different people.

Its never been my goal to cause others distress discomfort or pain through my art and the idea that some have had serious mental issues that have been triggered from my art causes me an immense amount of heartbreak.

Ive been in an art rut for months and havnt been able to create anything i can be remotely proud of. Ive been struggling with my own mental health and its been nothing short of an uphill battle for me. Ive lost basically all of my passion for my art and i cant even bring myself to pick up a pencil anymore.

Through the past few years ive done nothing but push myself, pressure myself to be as good as my peers and its done nothing except lower my self esteem drastically, make me loathe the creative process, and now im hearing that even though i push myself to make art, the end result is something that triggers others and causes people distress.

Honestly ive been in a state of constant dissociation for a while now regarding anything i try to be creative in, and i think this is just the final straw thats broken my will to create anything at all. Im sorry to all those whom i have hurt through my art. I hope that by quitting i will help in some way to make up for the harm i have done, please forgive me for using my talents in a way that has spurred hate and pain to others.

Im going to continue working on commissions strictly because i cant financially afford to close them at this moment, but i wont be doing art outside of that. My deepest sincerest apologies to everyone i have hurt with my art, i hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me for these wrong-doings.
