Posted on dA and FA, but forgot to here, so here's the recent follow up to the previous update: https://www.deviantart.com/desireeu/journal/HIATUS-family-loss-794659658
I'm officially back home, and while to the public I will be inactive a bit more, I'm still trying my best to already get back into work. I'm sketching the Patreon rewards as we speak and should have a couple ones done by tonight/tomorrow, I admit that I feel like my art is not as good as usual, but maybe it's just me..? Haven't drawn in a couple weeks and fighting artblock due to the recent events... I also have no choice but work on adopts, or open up more commissions soon, since I have a lot of money to make up;;; I have a small set of adopts ready, will post here soon for preclaim.
(Basically, I've spent around €1000 between tickets for me, my brother and mom to go back and forth Sardinia, and also to cover at least the flowers for my father's wake and funeral. €350 were gifted by various relatives, and thanks to you lovely patrons I've covered another €150-ish, but I still have the €500 to give back to the people I've loaned from...me and my brother also came back home to most of the groceries -veggies, fruit, bread and meat/fish- expired, and to the electricity bill, so we need money for that too. So in total I'd need to make around €700. My brother's birthday is also on the 30th of this month and wanted to get him something nice, but I guess it's optional and only if I can;;; )
Thanks to everyone for being so patient with me. I feel so empty right now and feel like doing nothing, so super sorry in advance for the art block...it's even more frustrating because I have to force myself to draw right away because of the money issues, when I still need time to grieve and I just...I have very conflicted feelings. I feel like I'm disrespecting my father, my commissioners and even myself to focus on making money so soon, I feel very bad about it;;; Do you have any other idea on how to go about this?
Sorry for the rambling, and thanks once again for your support and patience. If it weren't for you guys, I don't know how I'd go on ♥
