Hey there, it's been a while.
I just wanted to update you on the fact that no, I'm not dead, don't worry.
I'm just in a difficult place, mentally and artistically speaking.
Everywhere I look I see hate towards oneonother, the search of feeding an algorythm and the reise of killing human creativity. Worse of all I think that the fact that this is becomeing the status quo had hit me harder then I thought, because toward november I started to have difficulty to do anything, everytime that I had an empty papar before me.
I'm not sure if that's because many people around me told me that "It's normal, when tecnology evolves some jobs will die, like illustrators" or because working hard on other website to try to escape the dreaded "30 likes" had ended up in failure.
But I'm slowly getting out of it. Most of all I'm starting to stop caring. I know that if I want to keep this as my job I shouldn't, I should become "part of the machine", "start to study the website and how it works" and all other things. But a part of me probably can't accept to have to bend my art just to find a way to keep working. I know it's naive to think of that, but right now is self preservation if I don't want to completly lose my will to draw all togheter.
So yeah, I'm trying to find out again what I liked to do when I started. It will probably take a bit more before I'll upload again. That doesn't mean that I don't keep checking newgrounds once and again, that still remains my favorite type of art website. So I'll still be around even if a bit hidden.
Sorry for the rant, I hope it wasn't too pathetic and naive, other than unclear. I remind everyone that english isn't my first language, non che l'italiano lo parli molto meglio.
So yeah, I'm allway up for a chat if you want and I still stream on twitch if you want too, having fun talking to people.
For you I'll even undust my spoken english.
Keep creating and thank you for you time!
