  Hello everyone,

 
    It has been a really long hiatus, way longer than I ever expected or wanted it to be really, but then again I didn't expect a lot of what happened this year.

    I mentioned a little bit on my previous update from months ago, and-things got much worse than I ever could have imagined. I lost a very-very close family member of mine, and it stopped my world completely for a long while. I'm still not 'better', and I doubt I will be for a long time.

    I had a lot of things I was working on but I stopped my art completely for awhile-I couldn't even focus enough to sketch. So all of what I was doing before was pushed aside until a few weeks ago.

    After awhile I found a job to get me out of the house, and try to think of something else; I was mentally tanking and needed to try and avert the path I was going on pretty fast. It lasted a few months until I could move on to something else. I am able to at least do some art now, but it will probably be a bit before the ball really gets rolling again. I have some things I want to post-and I want to be more active again. Iit could be good for my mental health, but even being on here is bringing an odd mixture of feelings since I shared a lot of what I did on here with said family member who is no longer here... I want to feel normal again, so this is part of those baby steps-as I did miss being here.

    I'm aware most people won't read this probably, but for those who did wonder where I went or were curious I wanted to post it. It felt right to do and is something I just wanted to have here.

    Anyways; I hope you all have a great day.




Also, thanks to everyone who remember I existed too!

I actually do remember that, but I figured something just happened.

That makes me happy that I was so memorable though <3 Hopefully in time
I will be able to make more of that art-I do have some W.I.Ps but I think I should
just start something from scratch at this point to get back into it.

Storms of life comes and goes but we still have an art world we can always return to.

I hope I can return to it soon, it still feels almost weird to do art,
but I'm trying not to focus on those emotions. So hopefully this month
will bring some better results.

Tenchi8 In reply to xXSerena-CrosseXx [2019-11-03 02:55:50 +0000 UTC]

I totally feel ya. ^^ 
I've been feeling a bit out of touch here on DA myself. 
Even though I check here almost every day, the evening 
goes by super quick for me, and I can hardly keep up with everyone 
online. I try to when ever possible. 

Recently, I've managed to be a little more consistent with my drawings,
though it had been a series of great ordeals that I had to overcome. 
It's a long story, but allot has happened in my life, and by God's grace, I've 
been soldiering through it all.
