Behind the Scenes #20
🕑 Added 2021-10-09 15:01:01 +0000 UTCKind of a sad post but I felt like writing it anyway.
2014 was the year when I started giving up on art. I barely did any work and my depression was hitting real hard. This might definitely be the main cause of so many scrapped comics. Brief moments of inspiration that died quickly afterwards. I think I didn't even bother with ABDL art during the entirety of 2015. I thought I could go back and make videos as a living but it didn't work out, some of you might remember those failed attempts.
In 2016 I tried to make a comeback, making quick sketches and somehow started a Patreon campaign. In case you were wondering why the sudden style change, it was just because I couldn't focus long enough to finish a single picture.

2014 was also the time of Diaper Quest: Next, my biggest comic. Being burnt out on those pages made it easier to go on hiatus. Many of you may recall how it ended on page 124 with no sign of progress. Thankfully I found the strenght to go back at it and finish it. We're getting closer and closer, by the way. Here's a thing I haven't showed in ages:

I started working with youtube as early as in 2008-ish and my videos back then got a few thousands views per upload, it was pretty good considering the lower website population and the language barrier. Too bad I wasn't able to take it further. I tried several different channels, maybe 6 or more, all with different stuff. I just didn't know what to do T.T

You wanted to be a YouTuber? I honestly had no idea. I'm sorry to hear about that low point in your life. I know what it's like, I have somewhat severe depression as well. There are days where I literally don't have the motivation to do a single thing. I, myself, was recently at my lowest in December of 2019. I won't go into detail on here, as it wouldn't be appropriate. But, if you want to, send me a DM on Discord anytime and we'll talk. I'm here for you. I care <3

Wow, from that progress bar it looks like you're going full graphic novel with DQ:N. Which makes DQ seem more like a prologue instead of a single story. Congradulations on overcoming your emotional slump. That's something every artist faces in a work of passion, sometimes you forget where the love went.
