The main part of the archive has been sent out but the comic archive will be sent out later. I haven't also finished my server like planned... Here's my confession (bolded parts if you don't want to read all text)


 I know I've already been delayed with rewards this month, but unfortunately, I just don't have the strength to finish the archive at the moment. There's still shading and text for two pages of the comic, and I will definitely send the archive as soon as I finish it! But at the moment, it's just not possible. I've been feeling increased fatigue for the past couple of months, strong fatigues - for the past couple of weeks, and the last couple of days it's been physically difficult for me to even sit and hold the stylus, everything is blurry in front of my eyes, my usual ADHD and forgetfulness have reached their maximum. Yeah, I was supposed to rest in the medical facility but I didn't...


Today, in the morning, my cat broke my French-press. The tea, shards, and grounds are still on the floor because I don't want to clean it up. I'm too tired, I don't care. Let it lie there, and I'll lie down, too


Perhaps from the outside, the work of an artist seems exciting and easy, but it's not entirely true. However much we love this activity, we all experience constant mental, emotional, and physical overload, everyone has health problems. Being an artist, you're either poor or overworked. And sometimes you also have to deal with things like online bullying and harassment, blackmail, fraudsters, and so on, which also don't contribute to productive creativity. Not to mention that some unscrupulous people constantly undermine income and reputation, leaking everything that is done for you, people who sincerely want to support creativity and the life of the creator with their donations... Okay, I'm getting off topic.


What I wanted to say is: I have to take a break for an indefinite period. I can't say for sure if it's just fatigue, or part of an illness, but creativity in this condition is no longer possible. Since 2013, I've only taken a break of more than 5 days twice, and both times because I was hospitalized (by the way, always around this time of year). It seems I'm close to that again, so there will be very few posts in February :( 

I'm not putting Patreon on pause yet, but I feel it's necessary to warn you about this. Maybe I'll come up with rewards that won't require so much effort from me, or maybe I'll just turn off monetization for a while. I also apologize separately to those who are expecting commissions or just a conversation from me!


In any case, everything will be fine! And thank you so much for being here ❤️
