Regarding my recent hiatus
Hi everyone, I’ve been thinking a lot lately.
I came to a realization. I’m not a "creator" in the truest sense of the word. The moment that thought hit me, I lost the confidence to keep posting. For the past three months, I’ve been searching for an answer to whether I can truly take pride in my work.
To be honest, I felt like I had nothing of my own. I realized I had been relying too much on others' ideas, and it finally caught up with me. That’s why I decided to take a break.
What I’m trying to say is that I need a new direction. I want to take my time to figure out what that looks like.
Currently, I’m working on a Tarkov video and some original characters.
See you in the next video.

Your fine mate, take as long as ya need,we all will wait.
But the drawing tho....., it looks great.
Nobody is purely original. Everything is inspired and referenced from something else. That's why the best "Creators" are typically the ones that have been learning the most about other's works. You create things, so you're a creator. It's not a fancy title. The power doesn't come from "being a creator' or "being creative". The power comes from the simple fact that something you like exists now, and that just happens to be because you created it. It doesn't have to be something completely unique, if people like it. It exists now, since you made that happen with your skills, you can feel pride in that. Hell, you don't even need to make something people like. Just the fact you did it is enough reason to have pride in it.
We'll always support you, no matter what content you upload. You have fans for a reason, right? Besides, Tarkov is a great game, and judging by your drawings, it looks like you're going to make a whole movie XD
well, we support you as much as we can. taking a break is part of the process.
Reta is finishing them all off.
atleast you have infinitely more worth than i do....so, just go on do your things
We may have different views on the situation, so take my opinion with a grain of salt - but please at least give it a thought. You make amazing art and animations. I cannot come close to it, and I enjoy seeing it. Regardless of where the ideas come from, you are the one making them reality. And I appreciate seeing it, as I'm sure many others do. If you truly want to make something unique, something personal and wholely your own, then by all means take as much time as you need. But please, do not feel any less about yourself or your creations just because you sampled concepts and ideas. You made it - it is your's - and it makes others happy. In my mind it's as simple as that.
I said it to Daebom and I'm going to say you the same: experiment! We can't find it for you, we can help with the general direction but that's all. Everything is going to get back to normal some day. You will find something for you, and if you like it then we also will. This takes different amount of time for everybody. For some it's a week and for me it's still ongoing process for almost 5 months. Please don't forget that you can't find the path while overworked. Take breakes from time to time, and weekends are a mandatory rest. Take care :3
I don't know if I said it or not(I'm drunk and it's late) your art was always very good, many would say that it's the best. I want to make sure that you are safe, that you feel better soon and that you get what you're looking for. And you shouldn't feel like it's not original. You make it, you work so hard on it just for us. You should be proud of that.
I just want to let you know that I love your art and that you should just make what you feel like making because it's going to be awesome. Keep it up, I'm looking forward to the tarkov video
Don’t worry about us just take care of your health. We all will be supporting you 😁
While I enjoy your War Thunder content, I can't wait to see what you come up with. Hoping you will enjoy this
