Hey guys, it's Linty~

[linty]

hey guys, it's been a while~!

so, i'm not new to this site, but i figured i should re-introduce myself because i've been gone for maybe 5 years or so~!

for those that don't know me, i'm Linty! i'm a hentai artist who debuted on this forum about 10 years ago~! and now i'm trying to get back at it, and i figured you guys should be the first to know!

i'm not sure where you can find my old work~! >_< probably on this site somewhere? sorry, it's been so long i forget! (those links in my sig probably don't work anymore~! >___<)
but i have a brand new Tumblr for posting new work! It has pretty much nothing yet, but here it is anyway!

https://linty-art.tumblr.com/

but, i owe all you guys an explanation. u_u i completely disappeared and a lot of people worried. i'm so sorry guys~ ;_;

what happened is that out of some combination of anxiety, depression, finance stress, relationship turmoil, and poor life choices, i had what i can only call a complete nervous breakdown. i freaked the fuck out, i was having panic attacks every few minutes, couldn't sleep, started getting really dark thoughts. i didn't know what to do, i quit everything, i stopped drawing, i moved away, i severed all connections. and, i rebooted, and started a new life. and it was ok, i was happy, in a way i never was before~ and i never looked back, because i was too afraid i'd lose that.

but, i grew up a lot. and i think maybe i'm ok now. and i'm ready to connect to people again. and you guys were my people~! and it's because of the letters that you guys have sent over the years that have convinced me to try again~! i'm drawing again! ^w^ and i can't thank you guys enough for making me feel so loved~! ;w;

sorry for the life story~! i missed you guys so much. i'm sorry i made people worry~! ;n;
Hopefully i can make it up to you with porn~

i love you guys~!

I don't think we ever talked, I -think- I was still mostly a lurker five years ago, but I want to say now welcome back! Glad you're feeling better in life and hope you enjoy drawing porn again. Congrats on getting through all that stress and panic, sounds like it was rough, so yay for not panicking any more!

I am glad you are okay, Linty, and I am also glad that you got the help you needed and got better. Alot of people, even beyond this message board, were wondering. But we wonder no longer! This is a triumphant day for you.

In any case folks if you need help, don't be afraid to get it, stuff like this is no joke. I've seen first hand what seeking help can do (in my own life), and to that end, also, what ignoring the warning signs can do.

Mental health is now more important than ever.

It's so good to hear artists and friends alike check back in with us, just knowing they are still with us puts my and all of our minds at ease!

Welcome back, it is good to see you are doing ok.

[Renezuo]

I'm so excited to see you are doing well again. I did some art for you back in the day and I loved everything you were doing. I, like most people, was worried about what happened to you. I'm glad to see you're doing well now. I sent you a message similar to this on tumblr but wanted to repeat it here in case my blog gets lost in the purge on tumblr right now. I want to extend a hand to you to help in anyway you may need. I'm available on twitter, discord, and have a site of my own. I will also monitor this account here for any PMs now that you're back. PLEASE do not hesitate to reach out to me if you'd like any help jumping back in.

Welcome back, its great to see you!

Welcome back! I'm glad to see that you've been able to persevere through such a dark time, Linty.

So glad to see you back Linty!

I haven't logged in for years but I wanted to when I saw your tumblr post... you may not remember me but I think that I posted a few times in some of your threads, way back when you first posted some of your stuff, Linty. I thought that you were a great artist back then and I still do now~!

Was worried about you with how things were left off, but honestly really glad you're feeling better! I know what it's like to go through depression and the like so I can imagine...

You're a really talented artist and really a gosh darn lovely person, a shame that depression lied to you so much that you didn't think so. With the friends you've made and things you learned along the way, I'm sure that you can come keep going strong! But, never be afraid to reach out for help. Don't think that you're alone in this.

I may not be staying active here again after this but I wanted to send my well wishes. Welcome back dear, I can't wait to see what you'll bring to the artist community!

As someone that has "recovered" from severe alcoholism, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and suicidal tendencies myself, I can say with full empathy that I'm glad to hear you're doing better because I know how hard that can be.

Its good to see you back, and I hope you have a great time.
