Update - Backlog
🕑 Added 2023-04-06 19:51:11 +0000 UTCHey everyone. So it's been a minute and I honestly don't know where to start. I don't want to go into major details about what I've been experiencing the past few months, but I do owe SOMETHING of an explanation, so here we are. I've been insanely sick, gone 'chronic' and have been up and down Texas to specialists to figure out what's been going on. Talking about my symptoms and my experience leading to my current position gives me anxiety- I apologize for not wanting to go deep into it but in short, it could be neurological, my spine and my brain (I am waiting for a full MRI and results at the moment among other tests). But it's been hard enough waking up at all given the current state of my 'quality of life'. Lately I've been regaining "good days", so it's a bit of relief. I distract myself a lot, or at least try to. Only recently have I been motivated to get back to drawing, playing catchup and hopefully... HOPEFULLY, I will be able to do my class in the next month if my body allows it. These past months have genuinely sucked the life out of me, and I'm sorry for disappearing. It's not professional at all, and when or if things get to a terrible point again, I'll be sure to give notice, or at least have someone do it for me. I experienced my first real loss of a family member as well, and I'm still not sure how to deal with it alongside being sick, but I AM trying. I just want to say I appreciate everyone who's supported me, stuck around, etc. I just want to go back to being me, and I'm trying really hard to get there. Thank you for your patience.
There's pinups with edits, and a video process for a featured drawing. If you like the video process, I can attempt to do more of them (maybe with commentary?) now that I have an external specifically for videos.

Thank you for the update! It’s an honor to see the art you make. Truly, fuck “professionalism” — it sounds like you’re fighting hard for your wellbeing, and that comes first. I’m so sorry you’ve been going through this. I hope the stretches of good days get longer, that even on awful days you can find moments of beauty and pleasure, and that you can spend what spoons you have on things that bring you joy.

I'm so sorry things have been so rough for you, Shep. Here's hoping that everything works out in the end! And also, the artwork is beautiful as always

hey Shep your health and wellness always comes first. I've got all sorts of chronic this and that and lemme tell ya, that guilt, that feeling like you've let someone down, it's the worst part. but it's a lie your anxiety is telling you. you don't owe anyone anything. you aren't letting us down. be well, yeah? as much as you can be.

You have our regards! Hope you are better
I live with chronic pain and health issues too. It's incredibly difficult to just try and keep up with things you feel you're supposed to. Don't worry too much though, just focus on doing the best you can even if it's not as much as you'd like. Do what your body allows you to do and don't beat yourself up if you need rest. I appreciate the update and still look forward to your posts. i hope you get answers soon and doctors find some way for you to feel better.
Hope the hospital trip is conclusive and you get help and feel better soon. No worries about the art it’s very unique so we don’t mind waiting.❤️🩹🙏👀
Hanging in as long as I can, thank you ; ;
Thank you very much!
