Halloo!!! I'm doing alright buddy, thank you for asking!
Also its ok if you may be a little slow at art.
Art takes time, and there will be other things that occupy your time, and thats ok, cuz everybody has their own things to deal with.
It's only bad if you decide to rush yourself to get things done, because rushing is an enemy to art.

Thank you, Lettuce. I appreciate the reassurance.

Personally I've been feeling like I'm over my carry capacity recently, except I'm not carrying anything XD. I'd like to express some slow-at-art dumbass solidarity. I've kind of had to drop all my ongoing requests and it doesn't feel good! But, I just haven't felt any motivation or inspiration, and there is nothing that burns me out faster than forcing myself to do art.

And, at the end of the day, it is a request after all. Make sure you don't lose focus on what a request is. It means someone asked you "hey, can you make some art for me for free please?" and you said "probably." If someone starts guilting you about it, they're wrong and can safely be ignored.

And yeah, sometimes it takes a long time to finish things, and sometimes we don't even finish at all, but that's not the end of the world. I stumbled recently, and to continue the metaphor, I can't 'walk' on my own right now. Things aren't great right now, but I'm keeping my eyes forward.

Thank you for the advice… it’s just… I feel guilty if I take too long… that’s why I apologize so often…
