Sour Sweet is back guys!! What about the other Shadow5? We'll find out in time! ^^.

WIP WIP WIP WORK IN PROGRESS!!

>> VERY Important please read:
First of all I want to thank all of you for your comments on my current mood. Fatigue has knocked on my door and what happens to many artists has happened to me: I get bored and tired of doing the same thing over and over again.
Since 2018, the date I opened my Patreon, I have drawn absolutely every day: From Monday to Sunday, without a break. There were days when I missed family reunions and birthdays just to draw and keep both Patreon and Deviantart updated. Since drawing for fun, I practically started drawing out of obligation... something I couldn't control in time :( .. And with the honesty that characterizes me, I have to say this.
Since mid-February it was when I realized that my life is very bad (with the WIP of Rarity Otherside). Everything went into working and drawing, I don't give myself the necessary time with my family, friends or playing video games to get out of the routine. During these last 5 years my day to day is: Get out of bed, turn on the computer, draw until night, turn off the computer and sleep. I reached a point where my stress was so huge that I thought of making a statement announcing my definitive retirement from drawing.
My mother, my father and my brother have always told me: "take a break, you can't be in your room all day working. That's not healthy for your mental health." They were right and all that took its toll.
This is a serious problem for us, the content creators, be it streamers or artists. The routine of doing the same thing every day without a break is very serious... and it slowly destroys you from the inside. You know the artis: The Butcher X... he is a Chilean compatriot who sadly announced his official retirement. When I saw his statement on Twitter, I was about to do what he did, announce my retirement. But I think I'm still in time to change all this.

When I uploaded the Rarity The Otheride WIP, I already had the drawing at 100%, in other words: Full color. The same day I uploaded it, I went on a little vacation with my father and a friend for 2 days. Those 2 days I didn't even touch the computer, I only answered some messages through my cell phone, but nothing else. I played board games (UNO hehe), I went to the beach, I saw a music band play! It was literally something spectacular and what I needed to recover batteries.
Believe me when I tell you this: if I hadn't gone on vacation that weekend, now my Patreon, my Deviantart and maybe my Twitter would have already been closed.
I am currently focused on one thing: CHANGING MY LIFESTYLE. This means many things and changes that will benefit me personally, but unfortunately it may not feel like the right thing to do for some peoples.

1º. Every day I am starting to go to the gym: This is something I've never done before hehe, but I need to take care of myself now ^^.

2º I will no longer make commissions (at least for now): This is something I'm really sorry about, I'm really sorry guys, but the commissions were really time consuming. I think I had around 10 pending commissions. Well, sorry, I won't do the commissions. Of those 10, I will only do 2 of them since they are relatively easy (a commission that a friend already paid me, and a commission for some tattoos that shouldn't take me more than a couple of hours to finish). This doesn't mean that I will never make commissions again. This means that from now on, I won't work on commissions at least until I feel like working on them. For the third time, I'm so sorry!

3º I will draw only from Monday to Friday: As I mentioned before, I drew every day, from Monday to Sunday, and from day to night. No more. Now Saturday and Sunday will literally be my day off: I won't draw, I probably won't reply to messages, I don't know. I won't do anything that involves having a computer pointed at my face, unless it's for playing a video game xD

4º Probably no more polls: Polls are important and I know it, but they also involve one thing: drawing a character that you don't have the mood to draw, and that translates into: more stress. From now on I will draw the characters that I think are perfect for the occasion or theme. Of course, you still can give me recommendations of characters that you would like to see in the future! xD. Remember that there are thousands of characters, whether pony or human, that I have not drawn. If you want, you can recommend other series and I could give you surprises! Anyone, think of one and PLAF, write it in Community :) ..

With the previously mentioned, it may take a couple of extra days to finish the drawings, and once again, Im sorry guys :( .. but if I don't do this, my head will explode. After much thought about this, this was the solution. I mean, there were two solutions: make these changes or close all my accounts U_U.

I think this is all for now, sorry for the walltext guys, but it was necessary to write this for you to understand how I've been these last few weeks. I want to thank again the people who wrote me and advised me what to do. Thank you very much guys seriously!
Well then, time to finish this walltext: I will still continue working on the drawings, and I have many ideas in mind, and many themes!! There is charlieXe for a long time as long as I myself respect my new rules XD.

Stay safe guys!! <3
