As someone who quite likes the dinosaurs, I'd rather have a happier person behind the screen and no dinos for a while than an unhappier person behind the screen (and maybe no dinos for a while anyway, if you burn out on the project enough down the line). Which is to say, take a break if you need one.
ehh, it's alright. I haven't been drawing that many lately anyways, maybe once or twice a week at most.
I can't stop completely drawing them because I have a patreon where I post 4 dinos a month, and that makes up about 30% of my income, so I could not pay my bills without it. And it would feel unfair to only post them on patreon and none publicly.
In terms of time spent & money earned it's certainly a much better job than the barely above minimum wage alterations job I also have. The difficult thing is that I have to make myself do the drawings at home on a somewhat regular schedule, which I am bad at.
I may grumble about it occasionally, and I would love to just stop completely, but realistically I'm very lucky that I have the dinosaurs to help make it so that I can get by with the part time schedule of the alterations job, and can spend more time and effort on the sewing videos which currently do not make much money at all.
(I also post monthly behind the scenes updates about the sewing videos on patreon, which are my favourite kind of posts to do there! Tomorrow I shall post about two or three videos that I'm working on.)

Am hunting for the collector magazine I know I have somewhere from the opening night of the Phantom Menace.
Found lots of old stuff, like two books from the 90s about U2, a 90s book of Ewan McGregor photos, a random Kabuki by David Mack comic separated from the rest of the collection (these are still my absolute favourites), a Shojo Beat calendar from 2008, my mom's highschool yearbooks from the 70s, a Buffy the Vampire Slayer yearbook which I had my friends sign instead of buying my own highschool's yearbook (lol), random books about Islam I've never read, a Gideon Bible, and these ...
You would think I'd have kept all the Star Wars magazines together, but no. That would make too much sense.

To the Mage Sisters: What are your opinions on the inhabitants of Planet Popstar? For example, The Great King of Dream Land: King Dedede
Zan Partizanne: Ah yes, the loud mouth penguin. We three are very indebted to him for freeing us of that dark past.
Flamberge: KYAHAHAHA!! That big fluffy penguin sure does eat a lot too! I'll get him in the next pie eating contest, he doesn't stand a chance!
Zan Partizanne: Berge, please stop subjecting your digestive system to such torment.
Francisca: The waddle dees that follow him are just the cutest! They oddly remind me of the jambelievers, only if they were stronger, smarter and capable of building their own civilization!
Zan Partizanne: Now who else....oh right. His knight. Heheh.
Flamberge: Dammit Zan! You're doing that creepy chuckle again! That means you're hiding something from me! Just who is Meta Knight and why do you always act so familiar around him?!
Zan Partizanne: I'll tell you when you're older.
Flamberge: JAMBLASTED- wait......WE'RE ALREADY ADULTS- WHY WOULD I NEED TO-
Zan Partizanne: Anyways, that little masked knight helped us immensely too. Though he doesn't talk a lot to me compared to the other sisters. Which is to be expected. Also, he definitely has issues. A lot of them.
Francisca: He's a very stoic knight, just straight out of a fairy tale~
Flamberge: pfft, he's alright I guess. But I much prefer his evil twin brother! He's just WAY more fun and (somehow) has less problems! seriously that guy has ISSUES.
Francisca: He smells weird though....
Flamberge: That's his signature musk. Easy to get used to! Compared to Zanny's B.O, he smells way less spicier-
Zan Partizanne: what.
Flamberge: -3- ~ 🎵
Flamberge: And we can't possibly forget the other 2!
Francisca: Yes! Same with King Dedede and Mr. Meta Knight, Kirby and Bandana Dee saved our lives too! They're both so adorable and a joy to hang out with!
Zan Partizanne: I admire the puffball's resolve, same with the pointy waddle dee. He's got moves, I admit. Hmph.
Flamberge: KYAHAHA! Zan's always like that whenever he meets another spear user. So competitive-!
Zan Partizanne: .....
Flamberge: Joke! It's a joke! Stop pointing your partisan at me....-3-
Francisca: Let's see....who else....OH RIGHT! How could I forget?!
Marx~! 💖💖💖
Francisca: HE'S JUST THE CUTEST LITTLE THING! JYAAAAAAA!!!
Flamberge: OH- OH HELL NO FRAN, YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT BEHIND THAT SMILE IS THE DEVIL! HE'S EVEN WORSE THAN OUR former DARK LORD!!!!!
Zan Partizanne: Never in my life had I encountered such a terrifying ball-balancing clown........Franny, be wary of that awful creature!
Francisca: B-but....he's BABY! Aw......So far he hasn't done anything to me yet. I often hang out with him, Magolor and Chilly!
Flamberge: Chilly? Who's that?
Francisca: The little sentient snowman! We all get along well, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about~
Flamberge: Well, if Franny says so......
Zan Partizanne: We will take your word for it. Oh, as for the other inhabitants, our opinion remains the same. Neutral. Popstar is a wonderfully friendly planet.
