Feeling Tired And Uninspired...

In case anybody is curious to know what I've been up to lately and why I haven't been active on here that much recently, I think I should let everyone know that I have been taking a break from posting my newest cartoon artwork on DeviantArt at the moment. After being able to post my last couple of pictures on here not too long ago, I've been feeling a little burnt trying to come up with some newer ideas of what to draw, which actually happened sometime after I completed my Halloween-themed pictures that I was able to post in time for Halloween this year, since a couple of those pictures took longer for me to complete, and I just didn't have enough time or inspiration to work on any other new pictures to post for this week as a result. I have been able to work on a couple of new drawings just recently that I'll be coloring in soon, but I don't really know what else to draw at the moment, and I was kind of hoping that some of my friends would even be able to give me some suggestions for ideas whenever I'm unable to come up with anything new on my own. So far, I've been in the mood for drawing more pictures involving "T.U.F.F. Puppy" fan characters, so maybe I should try to draw a set of pictures based on such a theme until I become inspired to draw anything else soon.

Speaking of which, I am also aware that Christmas is already coming this year, which means I'll be kind of busy trying to focus on what to get for my friends and family for the holidays like I do every year, and I'll even be working on some Christmas-themed pictures shortly after Thanksgiving as well. Even though I usually hold my "12 Requests Of Christmas" art project as a way of accepting ideas for pictures that I would draw for twelve of my friends during the Christmas season, I'm not exactly sure about wanting to do a similar project for this year, mainly because I felt that last year was kind of a letdown for me. I actually had no trouble drawing the pictures that my friends wanted me to draw for them, and I was even able to complete all my pictures in time for the holiday season, but the reason for me feeling unhappy after last year was because I ended up being left out of a similar Christmas-themed project that one of my friends was holding that involved him being able to draw twelve requests for everyone, and I was much too late to participate by the time I learned about it. This actually upset me greatly because some of my other friends who were lucky enough to get a picture from him were also those whom I was able to draw Christmas-themed requests for as well, and I felt like I should have also gotten something from him in return after making him one of the twelve artists that I chose to draw a Christmas-themed request for that year. As a result, I was practically mocked at and called 'loser' just because I didn't praticipate in my friend's project in time, which has been bothering me for quite some time for that reason alone. Now, I can understand that it's never good to focus on such feelings that would make me so unhappy, but I just wanted everything to turn out alright for me without me being treated like Charlie Brown all the time. If I'm going to continue drawing cartoons for a living (whether or not I actually get paid for my efforts), I'd really appeciate the support after I'm able to do the same for everyone else I know, and I do not wish to be sad and/or unhappy in a way that affects my mood to draw ever again.
