Things get worse before they're better

So yeah. I've been kinda gone. Maybe you guys noticed, maybe not. Honestly, alot has been keeping me away.

One reason is the whole 3d art thing that happened here. Kinda kills your motivation to get a flat 'You aren't welcome here' in relation to something you've been doing for 2 years. I'm not debating it though. Its over, ruling has been passed, just gotta move on. I will be doing stuff on other sites later but for now... blechhhhh...

Another reason is work. I've been working a 3:30 to 12 shift with a hour commute at both ends for 3 months now. I'm no stranger to full time work, its been most of my career, but this job is pretty engaging work. I work as a heavy machinery operator at a frozen good warehouse. By the time I get home, I'm pretty damn wasted.

There are several other reason, fairly minor but stack up. I actually have been coming up with tons of ideas and have a sizable list of pics, gifs, and animations that I want to work on, but finding the time, energy, and motivation is a serious issue right now. On top of that I'd need to set up another posting site which is always an ordeal.

For right now though, I'm on break mode. My pet cat Spook, with me for 18 years, was put down tonight. Her health finally dropped far enough quickly enough that I made the call (Not eating, couldn't drink, could barely walk, and was in obvious pain). She's been fine for a long time but her age finally caught up with her. Not easy saying goodbye but when its to spare her pain...

Anyways. I'm holding on. I will be returning, I promise. I'm hoping to get some stuff churned out whenever I get the motivation when I'm free.
Thank you all for your patience during this month. I promise to make it up to you all.

SFM stuff being banned on Inkbunny if you use other artist's models even though they are released publicly for free by said artist of models.

Basically,  the admin don't consider it your work if you had no part in making the model. Or at least modifying it and posting with the original creator's permission.

Though the rule had been in place since the site's beginning.

You don't need to rush things. It will come naturally when things blow over, and life'll get better.

And if it makes you feel a little better, people are still posting the same kind of stuff you do here. Tahlian, myself, and a couple others. One of them even started the other day.
Darksorm

Yeah, the problem is that precedent has been set now

It's an overall disappointing situation, yea. But either way, this is something I'm very fond of doing even in my short time making this kind of content. I know it's something you've enjoyed as well, even with lack of motivation currently. You do great work, and I'd love to see you continue if you're up to it. I plan to as well.

Aw man, I'm sorry to hear about your cat. I had to put my dog down last year and it's one of the hardest things that's happened to me. I'm still not completely over it and I don't think I ever will be. I can't even imagine how hard it had to be for you since you were with your cat longer. Just know that, even though your art may not be welcomed here by the admins, it's welcomed by the community, which is clear from how popular it is. Don't give up, because we're here for you

I'm sorry about your kitty. It's never easy to set them free, but you did the right thing. As for your work, I hope to see more when you can upload. Wherever you post it let us know.

Hey, I hear ya, man. I'm practically in the same boat as you when it comes to work hours and felling tired/unmotivated. And sorry to hear about your cat. It's never easy saying goodbye to a pet, they're practically family. You just take all the time you need and do what you want to and whenever you want to do it. As I've said in past comments, your stuff is always worth the wait.

Wanted to extend my condolences. Shame to lose a friend you've had for so long. I've enjoyed your work in the past and totally understand you need a break to deal with stuff. Take all the time you need to get your motivation back.

How're you holding up? Raring for a big comeback, I hope? You seem to be the only real M/M Sonic SFM artist besides me on here, so it's been a struggle to keep up the stuff in your absence, especially with a recent issue happening with the guy who helped make some of those models (namely Cobar and Chaos 0).

Im hoping soon. Work has been busy altely, leaving me very tired. I was planning  to start work again last week, but had a set of surprise 10hr shifts
