Oct 2019 Post #1: Need A Fresh Start Here
🕑 Added 2019-10-16 14:31:09 +0000 UTCOkay, list of things to explain my long absence:
1.) I lost motivation in drawing completely. My last wall-text sort of made it clear and my living condition didn't help.
2.) I accidentally stabbed my left hand while cooking; frozen patties are my mortal enemies.
3.) Was still mourning the death of my decade-old pet cat. She meant THAT much to me. But I'm better now.
4.) Household had gotten unbearable and can't really draw without tension.
5.) The heatwaves that hit the U.S. between July and August nearly fried my laptop and tablet, so much they won't function unless I stop using them for some hours. Worst case, I had to put the batteries and the tablet itself in the freezer so they can charge power normally again.
6.) So... Many... Windows 10 updates...
7.) Desperately needed a break away from mature art. Hard for me to be taken seriously in the art industry once people learn you draw giant boobs and huge bellies on animal folk.

I'm okay for the most part. I still need some more time to myself to get things settled though. There's no way to fully make up for the months offline. In good conscience I even refused to pay out until I have something officially down. So power to anyone who got their refund these past few months.
I really need a do-over with how everything is handled with Patreon. I still want to change my tiers; get rid of what's unneeded and swap certain awards into the more common pledges under new names.
I also apologize for the missing art-packs for June/July. Things took a turn on a way I didn't expect in my household and my depression came back in full-force.
And something I feel is really important to speak on. Apart from what's still owed on my listings, NO MORE NEW COMMISSIONS OR REQUESTS.
I can't stress this enough, and it WILL result in banning if this keeps out. It's 80% the reason why I lost inspiration in art since I couldn't progress with what I actually had planned and fell behind on.
It just wasn't fair that I draw everyone else's ideas and kinks but I can't even get my own ideas out without complaints. More so for everyone who already paid and never got their completed work over the years.
Will post more on this in my FurAffinity gallery, my DeviantART gallery, my adult tumblr side-blogs in case others still follow there (hidden away because Tumblr's a hot ball of garbage), and anywhere else where this needs to be read.

The good news is I got my inspiration back, but only just recently and there is so much to catch up.
I DO have something special in store for this month. Even though I've been gone, I have worked on some new artworks over the summer and currently working on a sketch comic anthology for October's spoopy theme to get my art drive back.
All should be ready for posting by Friday the 18th.
And to make up for all the months of inactivity this year, I'm launching all of the full-resolution art produced this year plus the artworks I was unable to upload during the summer months into a SUMMER/2019 ARTPack special set of downloads plus old and NEW character and comic concept artworks and notes - seen and unseen - in the 2019 Artpack.
These will be uploaded ASAP and and will be available until February 2020 for free; just ask through Patreon messages. They will eventually be uploaded in my art sites but you have a better chance of getting full-size artworks this way.
Artworks between the months of October and December may be added for the final free update in January 2020 for those who prefer to wait. These will also included both Sonic fan art and furry art from standard and tame artworks to fetish and extreme content. They'll be separated based on art style, so an all-Sonic content download and an all-furry/humanoids content download. Sequences and comics will be shared together regardless of the styles.
I'm not 100% back but just wanted to say, I'm still alive. Constantly drained, but alive.
