So i don't really have much of a following here on newgrounds or on social media, whether due to my own fault or other factors. i wanted to say that if you're reading this, i'll say thank you for looking at my stuff.
this account is probably gonna stay up, but this may be my last real post for now. there may be some posts of art as a hobby that i post here. but the dream to making art as a career or anything sorta related is DEAD. due to some personal matters, i now need to be an realist and think of surviving/living my life without this dream.
i hope for other artists that still have time, hope, determination, and most importantly PASSION to continue the good fight of striving for your dreams.
my dream may of burnt out, but that doesn't mean you cant make it.
good luck, and never give in
this is butterspam, my last possible post here, signing off and goodnight

For what it's worth, I thought your 'Spec Ops Mermaid_Mer-May' ( https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/butterspam/spec-ops-mermaid-mer-may ) was great, but I do not even find the time to catch up to the work of the artists I follow already. And I much less have the money to support them.
You have a very memorable art style and novel ideas. I 'noticed' you, but our paths just crossed at an unfortunate time...
While it's always sad to see skilled artists go, it would be even sadder if you burned yourself out to the point where you could barely lift a finger. While it's of course a sad occasion for your followers, you made a healthy decision for yourself. And the artist always comes before the art.
I wish you the best and lots of rest.
