TLDR;
Im not quitting art, but i cant do this professionally anymore. Im transitioning to being a hobbyist again after spending my entire adult life pursuing it as a career. Support on patreon and subscribestar still help and is appreciated, but these are both purely tipjars now. Atm im still resting, but when i do return to drawing, ill be experimenting and going at my own pace. Also for anyone with outstanding commissions from me: theyre not forgotten, i will be completing them, but i need patience. I cant blitz through my queue like i used to. Ill be continuing to keep in touch however.
Its hard not to be a bit melancholy about the end of a personal era. I prided myself for years on my ability to support myself professionally on my artwork.
But i know this is the only way i can love art again. The alternative might as well be death.
