Sorry for not being more productive
🕑 Added 2023-01-14 03:11:55 +0000 UTCFirst off, I am incredibly grateful you have stuck around thus far and your support is very appreciated.
I hate making "feely touchy" journals about my personal life but I feel like you guys deserve some sort of explanation since you are still paying me to make stuff that I am not delivering. I did hint I was going to explain myself so here I am.
I have been struggling with work and my mental health. For a while, I could not do Uber (Around September - November last year) because my car did not pass the state inspection. It needed new tires which got delayed and I had to open some commissions to plug in the gaps. Commissions are not nearly as profitable as Uber, so things just kinda snowballed for the worse from there.
Uber is my main source of income, as you guys may know. Patreon helps, but is not nearly enough. I make animations mainly out of love and not profit. I hope one day they could be my only job but in the meantime, Uber is what actually pays my bills for the most part.
On top of this there is my ADHD. I haven't been diagnosed yet (I will soon know for sure) but it seems incredibly likely I have it. Long story short, this means I am only super productive in certain circumstances, which were present on LT3 but are absent now.
I am seeking treatment and making changes in my life. I want to make something extremely clear however: I AM NOT GIVING UP ON LINDA'S TALE. I love animating, I love you guys and I love to make silly stupid jokes involving big ladies. I am not trying to make excuses but sometimes reality needs to be acknowledged.
It is getting painfully clear to me that I need to make the animation process faster. I have spent a considerable amount of time talking to fellow artists about ways to speed up animation. OnKinky, Tales of Scale and Leather have had several meetings with me. I don't want to cut too many corners, however, I want shit to look good.
I just about got my financial problems fixed and successfully got enrolled on medicare. I still have 2 more commissions to finish, but they are from close friends and they are in no hurry. I will get stuff out at the normal rate from here on out.
Thank you all for your support and sorry for the mess.
