I've made notices across each site I use, and Weasyl is no different. I know I don't make a whole lot of art. I've noticed most droughts I've had about it I've either been dealing with depression, homelessness, or college. This time I'll be gone potentially more or less for... six years. I'll be pursuing a part-time degree in Criminology and Psychology.

This is a huge commitment and its something I haven't made lightly. I've been cutting back the amount of obligations and responsibilities I have towards others and assessing how much time I really have to contribute towards a degree. Then just cutting back further, and I think its best if I just step away from the fandom for a while. All whilest I make something of myself.

I still intend to draw. Just for myself, in private sketchbooks. with traditional media. Going back to basics as just a means of keeping myself sane. I'll check in once a week to start with, but once things get going I might not be around as much as I was before, if not I won't be here at all.

I hope we meet again on a sunnier day.
