I'm back... again
🕑 Added 2023-09-07 00:20:34 +0000 UTCHello!
As you may notice I keep disappearing pretty frequently, especially this last year. I talked about it last time, but I want to be a bit more open here. The reason is because of a huge burnout that together with my personal life responsibilities and issues caused me a lot of stress, making me stop this whole project.
I work on other things besides Mixplin, and I tend to be really picky with my art, something that made me so frustrated since all I was doing didn't come out the way I wanted to. So when my main responsibilities get too overwhelming, I lose track and any desire to pursue my passion for art. Everything made me quit to the point that I didn't check my account at all, and I just tried to feel like it didn't exist. Something I feel really bad for.
This apology doesn't mean much since it is the second time this has happened, and it happens because I can't organize my time and prioritize things. I feel sorry to everyone who supports me, and everyone I left hanging, especially my paid subs, because of course, you're waiting from me more than anyone else each month. And what I hate the most is that I don't want to lose the trust some of you have put in me, and the appreciation I've received as an artist. I am really sorry.
I'm not going to say that I have everything figured out, I'm still working on it, but I have my mind clearer. I want to take my art more seriously, putting into it the time it deserves without being obsessed with being "perfect". I'll try my best for it not to happen again, at least not to this extent.
I'm planning on opening a Discord server, I'll be posting updates if needed, and just overall be closer with you guys. I want to rebuild that trust and keep making art that you guys can really enjoy. I have some content ready and I just want to get back in form... once again.
Thank you ❤️

Welcome back. It's great to hear you're well. I was starting to wonder if you were ok. I can understand your frustrations/perfectionism. So let me just say I think your artwork is fantastic, it's quality is definitely something you can be proud of. Plus some of the fun in following an artist is seeing how they grow, improve, and change over time. Really excited to see what you do in the future.

Welcome back Mix ! I'm glad to see you're back and thanks for writing to us and being transparent about what's happening. Although I hope it will be better now, pausing pledge would be a good solution if you want to take a break ! I missed you, really happy seeing you back on track ❤️

This is a welcome read, but personally I think people are only upset that subscriptions are not paused when you take your leave. As you say, we're paying for essentially nothing by that point. But I am glad you are doing well, and more than happy for your second return. Know that even if the art isn't how you always want, it's perfect none the less you are extremely talented at what you do, and you do it very well. From experience, the artist usually judges their work the hardest than anyone else.

My response got eaten somehow (thanks Patreon...) but we're excited to see you back! We love your work or we wouldn't be here, and part of supporting is to be with you on your journey to bring your art to greater places and ones where you're happier with it! I certainly look forward to keeping supporting you!

Bro, burnout is hard to manage so take some time to relax and don't think too hard about it. Hope you feel better man.

Would def be interested in going your discord server. Might also be good to hear things directly from you too
