A little update

Thought I had better make a post explaining a few things since its been a while since my last animation and stuff D:

First off, I should let it be known that I've been on anti-depressant medication for several months now, and will be having my first therapy session sometime in the next 2 weeks. I'm not gonna go much into it but I just wanted to let my patrons know about all that, because its one of the main contributing factors as to why I've not been as productive lately as I used to be D:

Second, even though I still work in Blender most days, a lot of my time now goes into fixing models to post on smutbase instead of animations. I know thats not what most of you pledged for, but I was warned that starting this treatment stuff for depression and anxiety would likely quell my creative spark, and that seems to be right, because animating has felt like a chore for the past few weeks. I'm sorry that this is the case, and to tell you the truth I am still animating, just very very slowly, but you probably shouldnt expect regular animations from me for a while, but I'm still fine with doing stills and model work, which is something, right? D:

Thirdly, leading on from that, I'm working on a Tracer animation right now and making slow progress, but I havent posted a WIP of it because I havent decided on a scene or lighting yet, and I wanted to ask if you all mind about that, would you rather just see the pose and idea with nice but not final lighting and scene? or would you rather wait for me to come up with something? (which might take a while since I've been sittingon this animation for like 2 weeks already) Let me know in the comments pls D:

And lastly I just wanted to put out a massive thankyou to all of you <3 I know I've not been terribly engaging lately, and I'm sorry for that, but the increased support from all of you is really amazing and I'm so thankful to all of you <3 This increase in patrons is coming at a time when my brother is moving out of the house so I'm having to start paying to keep living here to make up for what we're no longer getting from him, and while my parents arent being extortionate and are only asking for a small amount each month, its very reassuring to know that I have a healthy source of income to cover that and upcoming therapy and medication costs, since getting a job is pretty much impossible for me right now, because of the anxiety and depression issues I mentioned earlier :c

Just felt like I needed to give an update on whats been happening with me lately, I'll try my best to keep working on stuff for you guys <3

Thanks for reading, and take care ^^/
