SO...
Just where in the 6 holy fucks have I been and what the hell have I been doing (besides not drawing or talking to people) for the last... Oh, YEAR and two months?
.... I've actually been around to a small extent, but mostly been a social recluse, going on, then off antidepressants, picking up a TON of weight from said meds, busy to the point of melt down with work, adapting to having a new housemate who's actually really easy to live with and generally been great, TEN adorable puppies and the responsibles attached to them, and of course the traditional just general "lack of motivation".
There's definitely more in there too, but this is a highlight reel.
Finally, FINALLY, recently I've been putting stylus to screen more often lately, just super rough doodles, smashed down sketches, and non-committal blurbs filling up my WIP folder (weighs in at 2.9GB's now) and my enjoyment of doing so seems to be mostly back.
This is why I'm going to try and tackle the very thing that got me fully into drawing 7 years ago in 2018; Inktober.
Granted, I'm only doing a half-marathon and doing the odd day prompts, they're going to be simpler drawings, just black and white line art for the most part, and I'm STILL super busy and frequently out of town for work (like I am right now as I write this from a hotel room), I have stuff I still owe people from up to TWO YEARS AGO and, I PROMISE that I haven't actually forgotten about, but for the first time in a LONG TIME; the idea of tackling all of that doesn't seem like a task so impossible that I wasn't trying.
I want to crawl back out of the rusty depression dumpster I've been wallowing in and actually stick to this. I really enjoy drawing, I enjoy making things that upset the puriteens and pearl clutchers, I like making the world just a slightly more pervy place. I'm just glad I've been re-finding my spark and I'm delighting in the UPward spiral it's been generating in my mental state.
As I once said over half a decade ago; "Here we go!"
