Important (and unfortunate) announcement.
🕑 Added 2023-10-04 01:03:52 +0000 UTCSorry about the lack of update stuff lately. It's taken me a long time to realise this, but I've been suffering from burnout, really bad. I've been dealing with this for so long I've forgotten what it feels like to actually feel creative and productive.
I haven't drawn anything for myself in 6 months at least, everything I've drawn has been stuff solely for other people (commissions etc) and it, along with all the other stuff that's been happening in my life the last couple of months, has really been grinding me down to the bone.
The level of production I've been doing lately is just awful. So I'm going to try something new: I'm actually going to take a break. I haven't taken any time off from this project since I started it, at least not deliberately (accidents and issues getting in the way have prevented me from getting work done, but that isn't the same thing as a break at all, even if I've tried to pretend it is to myself.) I'm totally burnt out.
My friends held a kind of impromptu "intervention" on Sunday, worried about my health and how much time I spend trying to force myself to work, even if nothing really gets done. My current model clearly isn't working, and my usual attitude of "work through the pain" isn't just unhealthy, it isn't even actually helpful in creating more content, and is actually doing the opposite.
So instead of yet another half finished, lackluster "update" I'm just going to try and recover a bit. It's a temporary reprieve so that for future updates, I can just really end up productive for a change.
This doesn't mean there will be nothing posted here or the discord this month. I'll be doing some Inktober stuff and just trying to post art I draw. Some of it will be fetish art, some will just be regular art. If anything, this means the patreon and discord will probably be more active this month than usual, despite me being on a break from the project. This is both for my own health and the health of the project, which has been looking as sick as I've been lately. Thanks for understanding. Things will turn around after this.

Look after yourself first. Especially as you're by your own admission a one-man operation on this, mate. Your health and happiness comes first. Heck, if I could, I would ask a mate of mine if he knew people who'd like to give you a hand.
