Taking a break here (Pixiv Fanbox)

Hello everyone,

Thank you all for your ongoing support.

Firstly, let me clarify the main point of this post. I intend to take a break from posting updates here for about a week to freely draw things I want, and post them on X.

Furthermore, I want to explain the reasons behind the decrease in my update frequency. I've been dedicating more time to commissioned works and requests to save up some funds for the future recently. Due to my mental issues, I spend more time on commissions than on my regular artworks. I will try to find ways to improve this situation and hopefully reduce the need to halt updates for extended periods on paywalls.

The above is the main point of this post. The following part contains some personal thoughts.

I am aware that some people have found my recent works "boring", and lost interest in my works. Over the past months, my new art might have been more niche in theme, making it harder to attract supporters. However, I believe that if I were to pretend to only be interested in popular themes, drawing would become just a regular job rather than something I truly love.

The main reason I set up the paywalls was to achieve freedom from being bound by traditional work, allowing me more time to draw and live healthier. What I want to become is not a factory with a fixed output, but a unique and constantly evolving artist. Based on this real goal, I want to take the time to learn things I didn't do well before, rather than just drawing illustrations of similar quality.

You are the ones who have given me the strength to draw more in confidence and share the works that I originally only drew for myself. The most I can do for you is to be honest with myself and not be influenced by other people's preference or some "latest technology".

I'll be back soon, and I'll still be posting some PSD files of this month in next weekend, but I have less completed art for now.
