Something must change from me
🕑 Added 2024-09-02 17:47:53 +0000 UTCI can't let myself to keep doing this anymore, these constant hiatus and not letting you know about about not posting for time to time and I'm feeling really shitty.
It's all my fault and not gonna blame things like depression nor life issues. It's circle where I just wanna take some days off and then it extends more and more than it should be becoming a pocratination issue and then I feel terrible about that and because of that guilty feeling I let something else distract me and then pospose my comeback to the next day.
However when the next day comes that guilty feeling grows and so does the procrastiantion and at the end of the end I'm just letting you people down. It's a toxic circle that I've been doing for years and something must change and TBH I'm sure what to do but I must figure something out.
In the meantime as other times I'll be working on compensating you and patrons from other months giving free skecthes and working on pending pictures.
I'm very sorry people about all this.

Eeeeekkkkk
Dont panic about it man, mental healths a bit more important than super busty chicks (well mostly) maybe just make a post here or there so we know your not dead.

Plan out some regular days off like weekends or whatever day suits you. Make sure you have breaks and you won't feel like you need to extend them when you eventually do take a break. Treat it like a job but you're the employee. You wouldn't show up for work 20 hours a day 7 days a week so don't force yourself to do that.

I reckon starting small with realistic goals would be good. Even if you want to take a break just announce taking a break from drawing the monthly comics but keep doing other works, even if they're just sketches. Doing a bit is better then nothing that's for sure

Its alright Mangrowing, I understand that cycle all too well, and have fallen into it myself a number of times. So dont beat yourself up for feeling stuck in it. As for the sketches, I do love them, but I think it would be best if you got back to drawing the things you love and want to work on. Dont feel obligated to give us something when it might just burn you out more. Your work is awesome man, and id love to see what you want to make!

It's fine it happens to people, I've been working in a project that I could finish in a day or two, but it's been 2 years since I worked on it. I still plan to finish but sometimes things are on hiatus, and sometimes those hiatuses happen often. Just let us know how you are doing and everything will be fine :)

While I never had the last couple sketches done, I don't think you should do them. I think it will just add to burnout. It's nice that you offer these sketches when you eventually do return, but it must be a huge pile of work that never seems to end for you. Would be better to focus on creating things that you genuinely enjoy. Then if you feel like catching up on our sketches after getting back in a groove, that's fine. I know you probably feel guilty that people have stayed as supporters for those hiatuses but they could cancel their subscription when ever they want. Your tiers don't say that if you are gone for a while, they get sketches. I would be perfectly fine never getting any of my requests if it meant you were able to regain some level of drive and normalcy. Of course I could be way off base with this and the sketches aren't overwhelming and working on them is very fulfilling. From the outside it just seems like you always have a backlog since the sketches I requested were never done. I obviously don't speak for everyone. Just hoping we get to see some more content from you :)
