Just a quick thanks and a whats happening-
Added 2021-05-01 21:43:52 +0000 UTCSo.. Im trying to give myself a little bit of a shift in perspective. Something that hopefully will end up mutually better for me and you guys!
Long story short. Im relaxing my attitude towards my art, anyone whos known me long enough would know that ive struggled the entire time that ive made work in the fandom, juggling expectations, my future, who or what am I and what do I even want to produce.
Well. I suffer badly from freezing on projects, Ill get 90% through a commission and that last 10% is me putting all my willpower into making something be up to the expectations that I put on myself. Hence I procrastinate, slow down, stop. And then the guilt kicks in. Then I feel worse about being some fraud or something (uugh artist problems right??).
ANYWAY. Im secure enough doing the tutoring that I do, meaning, I can do the art for fun. I can produce stuff as and when I fancy, posting stuff half done, overworked, whatever. Take on cool lil horny ideas, requests and whatnot. Get through some of the bucket-list of kinks that I still wanna try!
So- All being well, relaxing the pressure and rekindling my love for making. Thats the dream. Which is honestly enabled by you all.
Hence in short.. this is a thanks. I couldnt ask for more support (and patience) than the fandom already gives me, you guys are real gems, ya'know. I never want to feel like im exploiting that good will, I want to make stuff that pleases and I want to be the best I can be for you guys. So again, thankyou for everything, even if youre only here for a month or a day, I seriously appreciate everything X
