Hiya guys. If you haven't guessed, I'm taking an indefinite Hiatus. For this specific one, it's basically what's been happening for the last few months, where I've been pretty inactive. Why, you ask? It's because life's crazy. When I first joined I was just starting middle school and now I'm a few weeks into high school. I've got extracurriculars and friends that I want to pay attention to. I have my mental health to worry about and I'm going to see a therapist next week. The marching band performance season is about to begin, and I'm in the Colorguard. I have personal projects, Like the Seer that I want to make for myself and no one else. And... Art has kinda lost the spark for me. It doesn't feel quite the same as it did when I began, and it feels like I have to draw the same things over an over again, never breaking my norm. I'm afraid to draw in public, and have all but lost inspiration for most drawings, so I'm working on healing that inner child, the one that can create and draw countless magical creatures and worlds. I want to want to draw again, and not have it feel like a chore. So I'm kinda pausing. I'm hoping that simply taking a step back will help somewhat. Does this mean I'm quitting? Kind of. I might pop in and check my messages once or twice a week, and I may occasionally drop a project or something, but it'll be nothing like how it was for the first year or so after I joined. Basically, I don't want to put so much effort into scratch and live my life, but I'm not done quite yet. We'll see where the road goes, but I'm probably nearing the end of my scratch career, but we'll see. Will I be active on other socials? Probably to some degree. I've kinda killed my YT and may revive that sometime, I occasionally post on DA, and I want to work on my character refs on TH. So I guess just reach out. So yeah. Sorry I this is saddening, but I needed to say it and not just leave anyone hanging if they were waiting.
