Hey guys, I know I'm a little dead on here as of the past year plus, I'm slow at replies and at my artwork. Well, starting with this journal I'm hoping to correct this.
Firstly let me catch you all up to speed, I got accepted to uni just under 2 years ago and since then I've been dead on deviant art save the odd Once-in-a-blue-moon post. This is due to the extreme stress caused by my classes and work. Honestly, I've not had a legitimate break in the whole time, not eating or sleeping properly for 2 years sure does fuck you up.
After a long time of that, my already awful mental health deteriorated heavily, honestly, I felt so awful that I was keeping you guys, commissioners, followers and friends, waiting in the dark on my situation. Not to mention my pride and my fear of failure was hindering my daily life to where I wouldn't move, just lie in bed all day.
I failed a semester at uni and this shattered me, I was so low on money I wasn't eating daily, starving in fact for days on end till it was scheduled that I could eat something so I wouldn't run down my reserves. My pride was tattered.
Until I recently hit my breaking point, adamant on no longer living, sending myself to hospital or an early grave because I was so scared of failure, of letting everyone who supported me down.
I'm not saying this to make you pity me, just letting you know what happened.
I dropped out of uni, but I'm trying to see it as a positive, not a negative. I now have the time to spend properly developing what I love and looking after myself. I want to rebuild any bridges I burnt and explain myself to you all, develop a new start and move on.
I wholeheartedly understand if you are angry or annoyed, especially seen as some of you have been waiting for this entire time for art I owe you. I sadly cannot afford to refund you, so I will try my best to get your art done, and if the theme or content of the piece is unwanted after you have waited so long, I'm happy to change the content. Simply send me a note about your inquiry.
I know this is a long one, but it IS important so if you have read it, thank you so much. I hope we can move on from this huge problem together and have a brighter future/relationship!
