Now on hiatus
🕑 Added 2020-10-28 23:32:10 +0000 UTCHello everyone.
As you might have guessed from the title, I have decided to go on hiatus (for an undetermined length of time.)
I have previously mentioned on my Twitter that I wasn’t feeling the best mentally and unfortunately, it hasn’t gotten any better. I could go on and explain why I don’t like what I do, why I feel like I’m cheating everyone who supports me, or how my personal life is an absolute disaster right now… But I don’t have the heart to do so. Nor do I have the heart to draw “cute” and “sexy” ladies anymore. Which is why I believe the only thing to do is to take a break from everything.
I have paused the billing of my Patreon page, meaning that until I decide to come back, patrons will not be charged for anything. There will not be a Monthly Character Poll in November but I decided to keep the October one running, so the winner will still be drawn as planned. I don’t know when I’ll come back but if until then, you decided to stop supporting me (despite not being charged for anything), know that I would understand. Tons of other artists probably deserve to be supported as well, especially ones that aren’t on hiatus…
I am extremely grateful for the support you all gave me, especially during this very strange year. Your support helped me face a lot of things (both financially and even “existentially” I think) From the occasional 1$ pledges to the continuous 50$ pledges, the commissions, the tips, or even just the nice comments, etc. You have all been so generous with me I can’t even express how it made me feel every time, and God knows I don’t want to disappoint you. But I have reached a point where “going as if everything was alright” wouldn’t be honest and wouldn’t allow me to offer my best. You deserve my best, and you deserve my honesty.
I’ve been hesitating to do this for a while, and I don’t know if this really is the best way to proceed. But I need “change”, and I first need time to figure out exactly what to change.
Thank you for everything, and sorry.

Sorry to hear you've been struggling, but don't worry about this! You haven't let anyone down or cheated them, despite what your mind might tell you. Our minds are very silly like that, sometimes. Take a break and find out what you want to do and what you have the heart to do - forcing yourself to stay in the cycle just lets to a downward spiral. I hope the best for you and wish you well. My interactions with you have always been an absolute joy , you are truly a favorite of mine to work with. Take care!
