Months of Art Block and Lack of Confidence

Posted by StarWarriorRobby - May 27th, 2023


So there's a reason why I haven't been doing very much Draco artwork work for the past few months. Well, a lot of reasons. Tech issues, such as my laptop dying, which limited me to doing commissions and fanart for people. Lots of IRL issues, even deaths of my favorite people (Tina Turner for example), plus a lot of stress from all the annoying news and people being dumb as of now, as well as keeping my finances and health in check. And of course, a severe lack of confidence. With all that craziness going on with my life, and what's happening with the industry, indie included, it makes me doubt myself a lot. Like will I ever be able make it with my work? Will I ever be able have the will to get my plans for big projects I planned to follow through? Too much has happened to me for so long, even financially, and I'm totally stuck.

So, I thought maybe next month, after my doctor's appointment, I can go out and visit Houston for a week. Take a break from home and do some catching up with the family there. And maybe it'll help me get out of this rut I'm in, and maybe take a break from the internet or so. I've already got a new desktop and all, but I still feel like I haven't recovered from me art block and lack of motivation yet. So, getting out of my comfort zone for a week should help get my career back on track. Maybe even help me stay out of the internet for a while, especially social media. With how crazy people are acting these days, the stress has been getting to me a lot. 😅

So, that's pretty much what I gotta do next month after my appointment. Take a vacation from home and hope that I'll get out of this rut I'm in. And by the time I make it back, I got A LOT of work to catch up on. Draco's 10th anniversary is still going on, and so will my redesign of my OC-Self. Just as soon as I'm mentally recovered.
