TLDR: I'm taking back what I said before and would be doing fan lewds again.

Long ass explanation, but I feel I need to properly give a reason for my stagnation.

I've also been back from my break since the start of this month like I promised. I just needed to finish some work to finalize my thoughts.

Explanation

When people take breaks, they usually come back fully motivated to work again, right?
For me, I didn't feel any different. In fact, at the last days of my break I just didn't feel any motivation to do anything, not even play games or whatnot.
Which is actually what I suspected would happen hence I've always refrained from taking long breaks. I mainly did so now to confirm that suspicion.

I think what that shows is I don't really have a strong burning desire to draw. Like when an artist gets inspired by an idea, they get a lot of motivation to dedicate all their time to make it a reality.
I'm not saying I'm not passionate about what I create though. My passion/motivation is just on a flat level rather than fluctuating whenever an artist gets inspired.

Honestly, I should have known that about myself.
It's obvious I've slowed down with the amount of work I've made for a pretty long time now. The best way I can explain that is I tried exploring my artistic side more, but ultimately found nothing. I didn't actually need to change anything.

What I mean about finding nothing is I don't actually have a specific thing I want to do. I'm equally passionate about fan lewds or original works. You could also say I just want to do them all.
This also means I'm equally dispassionate about any work I do. I don't think I'll have the capacity to just enslave myself to one project until it's fully complete, I would rather have multiple projects I can bounce around whenever I get tired of a specific one.
This does mean my progress would be slower compared to just focusing on one, but this is what I gotta do to keep myself content.

Plans

If I don't actually have a preference on what I work on, I'm just going to commit to doing fan lewds again. I would rather force myself to do something rather than be lenient and end up not doing anything.

I would still be doing the Nono project though. I've been simultaneously working on a fan lewd and a new Nono animation along with content for my game patreon this month.
The problem with games is there's a lot of initial work needed before a proper build would be available. It's also common to alter game ideas before it could be tested.
It's not actually great content for patreon as it would be a while before I can deliver consistent releases with it. Doing fan lewds would fill that gap.

If you're asking why don't I just stick to 1 patreon so I don't need to worry about consistently releasing content here:
If I have any mission statement in my life, it would be to be different. Just the simple fact that most artist don't have 2 patreons is enough reason for me to do it.

Anyway, I would loosely be trying to do 1 fan lewd a month, but I'm not gonna force it so I don't feel bad if I'm not able to fulfill. I would just be doing as much as I can.
I would also be privately working on the Nono project until I'm ready to actually show something.

It’s good to hear from you and just wanted to say relax and go at your own pace 😊 you do amazing work and at least for myself i’ll be here and i’m sure there’s others that feel the same 👍. I just want you to know to don’t ever feel pressured or stressed (but i’m sure is hard being a artist you put more on your most of the time) but again whatever project you do or animation you put out I’m here for it 👍. Just remember you got fans that’er here for you and again can’t wait to see the next animation 😌.
