Hey folks. At the beginning of last month I started getting my mojo back for drawing consistently which came to a crashing halt when my mom got diagnosed with cancer 3/4 weeks ago. I left a lot of people hanging on art fight and I have two commissioners waiting on work from 30 days ago. I quit my job and am spending my time between employment just gathering myself. I’m genuinely sorry for everybody I’ve let down this past month, and my complete inability to communicate when crisis hits in my personal life. I received multiple incredible pieces on art fight that I had big plans for but have to push back until I finish the commissions owed, I still intend to attack back. Thank you all for being so wonderful and understanding.

Hey Leon! I love hearing from you. She’s in recovery and is doing well. I’m really trying to get over the biggest art block I’ve ever had, and struggling but I’m trying out some new things to get the gears turning. How are you?

I'm really glad to hear she's doing better! As well as sorry about your art block, I've been in a long one myself for a while now, but things are looking up now that I got some weight off my chest (literally ahah). My family, human and otherwise, is all ok too; what about yours, besides your mom?

This art block is torture lol. What have you been able to work on lately? And super congratulations about top surgery!! I hope you’re healing process has been a breeze! My son is like… walking and speaking at me now and he’s doing awesome. He’s really loud lmao, he’ll screech 4 octaves over capable levels of human hearing and I’m sure the neighbors love us 😂😂

Nothing much tbh, I only decided on a major name change and have been thinking about softening some of the more explicit aspects of my story; no drawings either, I blame the MMORPG that has been keeping me busy most of the time since my last efforts. TY! The worst part has been breathing with extra tight compression on for a whole week, now it's been loosened I already feel better (and I've also just seen myself, though it will take me a but to realize it's really real for real). Good news from the little one! Whether he comes off as annoying, I hope he can be as reasonably loud as he wishes now that he can ahah, he won't be able to later on in his life so he better take advantage!

You bring up a very good point! Might as well let the screams out while he can! What MMORPG are you playing? I went back to work too early before healing my chest and I feel like it caused bigger scars than what would've been small lines. Definitely practice as much self care as possible and refuse to do any lifting over the head if you have those types of incisions.
Are you going to keep your writing in a novel format? I've written 3 whole stories that I started webcomics on, and even got an episode and a half done after completing two scripts. I think I've connected too much trauma into my writing and it's difficult to visit my characters, and even the process of making art has been difficult because I tend to ruminate on obsessive thoughts and it takes a lot of energy to mindfully draw. I'm trying different avenues to get me back into drawing but holy heck this burnout is real.
