Doing well in every single regard, except where it matters.
Hey people, I hope you are all enjoying the content...!
Thanks for all the support...(・∀・)ノ
Today I come to talk to you about the recent considerable drop in
production in my art. Maybe some of you have noticed and maybe
some of you (newer members) haven't, but gone are the days of
receiving 6-8 paks a month with dozens of extra versions and long
rambling comments on various topics, whether related or not.
The truth is that in the 5+ years that I've been here on Patreon little
has changed in me, I still feel the same fervor and passion for drawing,
my head is still full of ideas that bother me every day so I let them
out and do something with them, the fun of sharing my work and
talking to all of you is still one of the best parts of my day.
In short, I am the same as always.
But then, what has changed...?
Well, the things that have changed are all things around me.
Things like my real life job™, family, friends and interests
have changed.
But don't take any of this as a complaint, in fact everything has
changed for the better, I'm doing great, much, much better than
5 years ago.
It's weird, but for me the sour part about all of this is seeing so
much progress in all these other parts of my life but not in my art.
I feel rather ungrateful for thinking this way.
My philosophy in life has always been to put in more effort and keep
pushing forward regardless of the results. Any small amount of
progress will start to add up, and when you look back you'll see that
you're higher than you used to be.
And in the end, even if everything goes wrong, failing at what you
love is better than succeeding at things you don't care about.
I still believe in this and still recommend it as a way to live a fulfilling
life.
But perspective is also important, I am a big fan of personal
responsibility and I know that making decisions does not lead to
automatic happiness, in fact quite the opposite, making decisions
limits you, takes parts of your life and leads you to a narrower path.
But this is OK since as they say, "you can't have your cake and eat it".
At the moment I am choosing not to stress about deadlines, posting
things at 4am, back pain and lack of sleep.
But you can be sure that I still take my work with mad passion, every
spare minute I find throughout the day is a minute I use to draw more.
When I'm not in front of the drawing tablet I'm thinking about
character designs, poses, outfits, perspective, compositions.
In the end I just think I have reached the limit where I can no longer
cram more effort into my day to day without neglecting other parts
of my life that are also important to me.
But rest assured, if any other part of my duties starts to wind down
and give me a little more free time I'll do a mad dash to push more
content out...!
I'll do it, because that's what mad lads do...!!!
