This is very important to me, if you have time please read it and maybe share it if you'd like...? ๐ช๐
Burnout is a common problem among artists, and itโs even worse when an artist canโt afford to take a break - whether due to financial issues, health problems, or social pressure. Everyone needs rest...right? ๐ค
Itโs really hard for me to write this, but honestly โ each of you feels like a part of my therapy and a huge source of support. I love creating for you, but I feel like I need to take a short break โ a week, maybe two.
For a long time now, Iโve been drawing almost exclusively COD content just for you. I adore Ghost, Kรถnig, Price and the whole crewโฆ but I think I need to take a breath ๐จ
Drawing doesnโt bring me as much joy as it did a few months ago. I realized I havenโt made anything purely for myself in over a year โ itโs always commissions or something for you. My situation kept me in โfull speed modeโ constantly creating as much as I could to grow my audience...
I love creating for you, but also for myself. The art above is something I finally made just for me โ something I could pour my emotions into. I want to feel that full passion for creating again, to play with forms and styles. Thatโs why Iโve been experimenting with Monster AU lately โ and maybe Iโll try even more new things in the future๐บ
Lately my mental and physical health has gotten worse. I even received a disability status ๐I donโt feel safe in many aspects of life, and the constant treatment costs are draining me more and more every day. When I first started my Patreon, I never even dreamed that so many of you would be here and enjoy my work โ๏ธ
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support โ it truly gives me moments of happiness. Thanks to you, I can cover at least part of the cost of the medications I need ๐ Every bit of support means so much to me. When I upload a new drawing and see that you like it, it warms my heart โ I finally feel like someone appreciates it. Every interaction with you is a little boost of dopamine that reminds me I matter. Here with you, I feel like a real person, not just a number in a system. Maybe itโs the anonymity, maybe something else โ but...
Thank you for being here with me and for enjoying my art when you see it. I promise that after this short break Iโll come back to you with new ideas and โ hopefully โ with more energy. Take care of yourselves and see you very soon โค๏ธ
