I apologize for going awhile without uploading anything. It's been a really difficult few months for me in general - our house got flooded due to a broken pipe, and the renovations have been ongoing since September. In fact, we spent nearly three months in a hotel, and due to irresponsible contractors and insurance company negotiating the work didn't actually get started until the beginning of December. The bathroom's finished and the kitchen's a work in progress, so hopefully it'll be over with before long. Suffice it to say, though, that having to share a hotel room with my rotten younger brother meant that I had zero privacy to do any drawing. I don't like to complain or anything, and it's largely behind me at this point, so I won't elaborate further. But it's been very difficult to get back into the habit of drawing things after going so long without being able to do anything, so I apologize for having very few uploads to share.
As for the stuff I commission, that's truly my fault - I've got unposted things from over a year ago that I still haven't shared because I feel obligated to write things for them. It kind of snowballed with the MGP stuff where I basically wanted to write this complicated thing for each one, but the problem with that is if I'm not able to do a story I don't feel like I can share a picture without providing the context for what I was imagining at the time. Then I go without posting once a week like I was trying to, and the guilt and pressure builds, and then I just sort of give up trying to stick to my self-enforced obligation. I don't know how many other people feel this way, and I may have talked about it before, but I have this constant feeling that if I'm not consistently sharing new things that my little gallery will fall by the wayside and what stuff I do post won't get nearly enough attention. It's kind of a rotten and defeatist mindset, and I'm not sure how to get over it. I'm already voluntarily taking a hit by never posting to FA (I still object to their terrible admins and site management) and I don't even know how many of you guys even read or appreciate the stuff I write for my art. u///u
I think for now I'm going to post a few things that require minimal description, and I'll space it out a little as well. We'll see.
(Edit: Oh, and Happy New Year, I guess. I feel kinda dumb for not having this posted three days ago... even though it's an arbitrary distinction. Ugh! See what kind of a self-sabotaging headspace I'm in right now? I look forward to having exactly two comments on this journal, eventually... xD )
