Take as long as you need shadow your health is more important than all of the projects your working on
Yeah spme youtubers like yourself need a break it's tiring we know so enjoy ur break and have fun ok
It’s fine, Shads. Your health is more important than anything else. Take as long as you need.
I'm sorry you're going through all of this Shads. Take all the time you need! Burnout is real and you definitely deserve the break. Will be here when you get back, and looking forward to seeing the smaller scale content! Also really appreciate the transparency about what's happening with you.
King, take as much time as you need. Burnout is a real force which I've faced for a long period of time without even realizing it, much like yourself.
Hey Shads, I think I can definitely relate to said burnout as well, even if I haven't really publicly talked about it, and because of that, you taking a step back and not forcing yourself is completely okay. I can especially relate to 8:16 as well, especially wanting to keep involved VAs up to speed, and taking a slowed down upload schedule into account. I too have also been trying to try my hand at shorter, sillier stuff too, but I've also wanted to not forget about my larger scale stuff too. I guess this video telling me I'm not alone on that front has also given me a bit of a push to find a balance between that.
Anyway, take as much time as you need. It's good to avoid forcing yourself and it will do you some good in the long run.
Also, if anyone who follows PPEA is reading this, I pretty much second Shads' request to have some understanding and patience. Like most GModders, I too am someone who's the only one who animates for my channel, and I have to account for other things on my plate, life and other projects included, and above all, even I've had to put up with burnout. Even then, I'm sorry the thing's been on hiatus for so long, even if one particular factor from 4-5 years ago was something beyond my control.
I understand all the pain you've been going through.
There's a few things that I want to say about this:
1. The fact that you made this video despite the fear of how people will think of this was incredibly brave of you.
2. The fact that you're doing this to take better care of your mental health is understandable. Taking care of one's mental health is very important.
3. The fact that there's a stalker after you is just unbelievable. I'm really sorry that this is happening to you. Even though I have yet to experience this, I can tell that this is taking a toll on your mental health. Know that all of us, myself included, are here for you, bud.
4. While I am a bit upset that you are focusing less on longer projects (with the exception of Untold Darkness and Lyrish Epilogue), I can understand why you made this decision. And your reasons for doing so are valid. We're here to support you, whether your videos are long or short, funny or serious.
Now, before I stop rambling in this comment, there is one more thing I want to say. This may upset some people, but I have a message. This is for EVERYONE who are fans of Shadow's content. Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT pester Shadow to work on more longer projects. I get you guys want him to get these projects done ASAP, and I know you guys might be upset that he's taking a break from longer projects, but the decision he made is for the sake of his mental health, as he said. I wouldn't want to imagine what might happen if he doesn't take some time to take care of his mental health. So, please do not pester him to focus on longer projects. Shadow, if you happen to stumble upon this comment, I look forward to what smaller animations you have in store, as well as what will come from Untold Darkness and Lyrish Epilogue when they are completed. Take all the time you need to better your mental health. Have a great day, TheInvertedShadow!
Sincerely, Rainbow VATE
Agreed, besides lyrish is a good trilogy and it has the same quality as other things such as eoi (elements of insanity)
Ok yo te entiendo Shadow, algunos animadores necesitan un descanso.
*Patting on your back.*
It's understandable, Bro Shadow. Life is one big roller coaster (well may on your case bit chaotic, no offense) which has it's high up and downs and many turns.
And possibly this break will be the good clean up in your head (and dusting up your hat) from stress from creating and what is generally going on.
It's fair that your big project are put on hold while with baby steps; you do short animations for us, SMG4 and ZePyromancers.
I'm fine if this break will take long time, it better to have you mentally healthy rather then been mental train wreck. Get well, Bro Shadow.
Take however much time you need man you deserve it and your content will get a boost from it, you've already done so much great work if you need a break to continue go for it.
It's incredibly heartwarming and comforting to know that you're focusing on your well-being. A few years ago, when I was younger, I honestly didn't believe you when you would say that the EOI comments were absurdly intrusive. But having looked at the comments on your most recent videos, I barely scrolled for twenty whole seconds before getting tired of them, Lol. You deserve to take care of yourself above anything else, but you're doing that as well as releasing and working on content. So regardless of what ungrateful people that know nothing of your process think, your work is greatly appreciated and admired by countless others including myself.
Your work as of late, especially Untold Darkness, have sparked a creativity in me I didn't realize I had laying dormant in my brain. You are an inspiring figure in my life, and I will follow you and your channel no matter what you may create next. Because I know it'll be great.
I’d say this is a good move
Consistent Quality for years on end can come with some side effects that can really fuck with the human brain, take your time Shad and good luck
Alright Thank you shadow for giving us this update, you do deserve a break. You shouldn't burn yourself out. I hope you enjoy your break! We all prey you feel better and see your true passion afterwards!
I can’t say I’m not disappointed because I do enjoy the elements of insanity related content and Fluttershout always gets a chuckle out of me but as I always say “The person comes first!” And that applies to you, Invertedshadow as much as anyone else. So I hope we get to see more of your wonderful content in the future but with your health and happiness prioritised(and I hope this stalker is dealt with soon)
Hey man take it from someone who's suffered through burnout in something completely different and unrelated to content creation before, sometimes you just need a break, and I'm glad you're taking one for your own sake. You feeling mentally positive and alive is better than any speed you can upload at for any of us! And, the longer you take to improve your mental health (and physical if you need that too) the more love will be put into the videos, and the better videos we'll get, Quality over Quantity after-all.
Take as long as you need man, and feel free to just sit back, relax, and figure out how the hell Bob got into the recording booth. Cya in the next upload Shads!
(Sidenote: I mean hey if Untold Darkness does end up looking like that preview you gave us I won't be complaining.)
Take your time, Shadow. From a person who makes fan art and writes fanfics, it is overwhelming. Should you need advice (but don’t feel like you’re being rushed), then possibly try and focus on one thing at a time? You don’t have to take it but do give yourself a break from time to time. Take good care man.
You do what is best for you Shadow. Trust me, you are not the only one who needed a wake up call to realize one needs a break. I've suffered that as well, so I completely understand. Take the time you need.
Wasn’t expected my name to be dropped. Regardless, you’re working very hard, if you need to step back for just a bit, I get it entirely! Much love to ya, brother
Well obviously it's ok to take a break. Yeah hearing that you're the only one who's been working on these projects (plus help with some) is something to think about. I'm happy to hear that there's still some stuff happening but don't push it.
Given the amazing quality of your videos, I'm sure your followers won't mind waiting, so don't worry. Take all the time you need to rest, recharge and take care of your problems. Also, I appreciate the teaser of your next animations
I understand that people like you need a break most of the time since tasks like this can be pretty stressful. Even I don't know how to make GMOD videos on UA-cam. After all, we all live our lives as humans, not robots.
So, let me ask you this:
If you can't post any gmod videos anytime during this year, do you have somebody else to go over your work and make changes while you go on your break?
Don't worry, I understand perfectly, we all need to take a break at some point in our lives, take the time you need and come back as soon as you feel ready 😉👍
One huge example of being a huge solo animator is Monty Oum. Fight scenes or in general animation can give you the ultimate distraction that makes you forget that your burned out. Regardless, it’s been years since I seen his animation series so Idc how long it takes.
You’re totally the king of gmod and one thing 😉😎🥭🍍🍑🍇🍉🍊🍔🍕🌭🍗🍖🥨🍭🍪🍹🥤🍜🍝🍣🍩🍨🛳🎪
Any creative soul can relate to burnout, and all your fans should understand and let you take as much time as you need. With that said, I'd love to see some shorter works, and I'm especially looking forward to more delicious lore from Untold Darkness.
Shadow i just start writing this befor starting the video, you can take a long of a vacation/bereak as you like. your a hard working animator you deserve a break no questions asked man. hope you have a good break. love ya stuff btw and you man your great ^^
I understand shadow I have some friends who went through that to, but they weren't animators so hopefully you'll get better soon.
From everything that has been going on, I can't think of a reason to be angy. And for the silence of what's been going on in this channel. I understand that. From events that has happened to me as well. I've been taking my time off youtube. It's okay Shadow
Take your time you need p.s tvb bff shadow
I’m sorry for what you have to go through Shadow but I do understand, it is hard to take a break from something or from working, sometimes I do need breaks or take my eyes off from something, I’m not worried or your letting me down. But it’s good that your taking a break, stay safe and I hope you will better Shadow, let the Tiger131 be with you👍🏻
But do take your time Shadow and take good care of yourself❤️
I understand shadow, we always need a break from doing so much every now and then. Take all the time you need to rest. Oh! And if it’s not too much trouble, I may have a suggestion for a new Double shadow play’s, the new game that’s called Poppy playtime. (Unless you’re already playing it but didn’t have a chance to record it.) but for now… like I said, take All the time you need to rest.
Okay, first of all, it's alright if you want a break on doing stuff like this and focusing more on your health, Shadow. And you think you had it bad? I had a fever for lord knows how long. I'm sure your health is probably as bad as mine when I had that fever. And secondly, do you remember doing a SFM video where Sunset Shimmer was a gamer that swears a lot and she had a Christian Minecraft server?
I haven't been watching your videos in a while but, Its all good shadow! You're a wonderful animator and you're human too, take as much time as you need, even if its years! Your well being and health is what matters, the content you put out for us for free can wait, if you as a person arent the best in terms of your health. Please take your time dude!
Yeah, personally I did start to worry about you overworking yourself in light of the collabs with both Ze Pyromancers & SMG4 on top of your own projects, but mainly kept them to myself (till now) intending to not worry you man.
But yeah, given all the big projects you’ve had been trying to work on, it’s understandable that eventually you’d need a well overdue rest from most of them (with only Lyrish Epilogue & Untold Darkness Ep.2 still being the focus) for the time being.
Still, can’t wait to see what kind of smaller vids you’ll be coming up with. I can already recall so many moments from past Twitch Streams that’ll make perfect content.
Also, Dang It Turk!!! (At the UD Ep.2 preview, folks)
I understand what it's like to not be able to get to everyone messages, being burnt out on projects, and just generally not doing any good to mental health. So you do what you need to do Shadow, I will still love your content no matter what happens.
Shadow, it is okay to realize you need to slow and calm yourself down, as I myself have realized my own burnout had happened long ago and to even want to do things, I need to be patient and heal. Take your time and let things happen naturally, so as you need to so you can stay mentally well, being healthy is very important.
As for the big projects that you still have on your plate, go easy on yourself when you take them on, you don’t wanna burn yourself further to the point of being a piece of toast
Take care of yourself and keep being great shadow, have a good one
Take your time shadow, I know how it feels when I try and work on my reveiws, website and so on. Take care shadow and if you ever need anything or need advice, my door is always open and I'll do what I can to help.
Your doing the right thing shadow. It’s understandable why you’d be so burnt out. Especially with your amazing projects you’ve made like the ones you mentioned. It takes time and everyone needs a break from time to time. Go ahead and get your well needed rest for all the things you’ve done. And people like that stalker you mentioned can go screw themselves for the crap they’ve done. I hope you feel much better knowing us fans care for you and your life.
It's a good idea to take breaks every once in a while and take things slow. I may not be a UA-camr, but I take breaks when I do comics on gmod
No worries, if you don’t take a break, I am terrified that you would just burn out completely and leave forever like a ton of creators I’ve seen leave. So please take all the time you need, I adore your stories and I would be heartbroken if said stories were the reason you were to give up on creating forever.
it's ok Shadow. taking care of yourself is more important. you take as long a break as you need.
I am sorry to hear that you have been overwhelmed but I completely understand. Take care of yourself Shadow and I hope that everything works out well for you.
Also, I want you to know that you are still are and for at least 7 years have been my favorite UA-camr. Be well.
It's ok Inverted Shadow, take as much time as you need, I can imagine the hardships that you're doing mostly all the animation/editing by yourself, as well as making/doing projects on your own, and I'm sorry to hear about your avatars being made into something you don't want and the stalker problem, I hope that gets better for you soon, and for your ideal projects in the future, try to focus on one at a time or focus on part(s) of them, so you won't feel stressed out as much, same with your other ideas that you have, anyway sorry for the rambling, but in the end, I'm saying to get well soon, you deserve it after all these years of UA-cam 😉👍
Oh man, You have so much work with complete teaser animation, new animations, characters, villians, and I have a question, You can finish the bloody symphony and fluttershy mansion and the lost ones
It’s okay Shadow, take your time. I am very patient as I am also working on a lot of projects.
it's always good to take breaks to take care of yourself so take as long as you need and it's always understandable on that
Shads your health does indeed come first, no one will fault you for taking a break I hope you have a good break, my friend rest well~ -Iroh
Its better to take a break than keep pushing yourself. Me and my fiance have this on occasion if we go to far so we step back and take a while to relax and think. We understand whats going on. Besides its highly recommended anyways. Hope you feel better soon bud. Take care ^w^
Take some time my dear king your health is very more important to us okay
Hey man, if you need a break then I'm alright with you taking a break, besides you've worked hard on so many videos I'd say you deserve it.
I want to say this I love your channel and work. I just came back until I found this channel. It took me very long years. I forgot about it until I finally came back for all these years. Thank you for making any of these videos.
Im always patient shadow it's just I'm just worried for pinkie pie and her friends what's gonna happen to them
Elements of insanity will continue just take some on doing but take a break
Take your time shadow it's OK
I just had a question will the paper and ink series continue?
We all need a break. With work such as yours, you will have "burnout" and "mental fatigue". Take a break buddy.
I've actually been experiencing those two things as well, so I pretty much know how he feels
do not force yourself your health is top priority your fanbase understands that animation takes time and you need to just have fun
Shade your mental health is important. You take the time you need
Also thank you for clarifying pinkie pies adventure isn’t over and also if your unsure we’re you should take elements I have two suggestions one make a spike video then twilight and maybe do the finale or two do twilight video then do a spike video about him maybe joining up with shimmer and magic mare I personally think he will come back to their side maybe they betray him and then do the finale
It’s good for you to take a break man, and jeez I’m sorry for all that bad juju that’s been happening to you IRL as well
take has much time you need shads. we will always support you and what ever you do next..
rest easy you crazy legend.. you deserve it.
Shadow i hope enjoy your break and I hope to see more of your work on UA-cam again because I don't have twitch
Even though everyone’s already said this, take as much time as you need. I think it’s great that you are realizing your burnout and deciding to do something about it. Although, if people are still demanding AKA being total idiots, then they’ll just need to suck it up and deal with it.
We all need that time to ourselves and to find the path that we lost and right now it's your time Shads, we're all in support of you, take all the time you need and we look forward to you're smaller projects as well as seeing a refreshed Inverted Shadow. 😁
Sorry you've been having it rough lately. Take as much time as you need!
It's cool to see the channel that made elements of insanity is still uploading
Take as much time as you need Shads, burnout can be a pain to minimize. We’re still here for you bro don’t you worry! 👍
Bro, you haven't let anyone down. You deserve a long break and me and everyone else understand how you feel. Take as long of a break as you want, your health comes first. Burnout is real and can kick your a** sometimes. I'm glad that you announced this and are OK. Just know that everyone still loves what you do and knows that you're human. Come back with content on your time, whenever you're ready. Have a good break and stay safe, Shadow. Peace!
Just think about how much time you could save if you used up to date animation softwares
Be well and safe take care of yourself. Hope things get better
I understand Shadow animation takes long but everyone needs a break from animating and sorry your going but you deserve a break for your health for until your ready to do more gmod videos again you deserve a break man hope you get better man I really hope 🙏💖
Your health and family comes first, Shadow. Take it easy.
It’s all good man. You do what you gotta do.
Hey shadow take your break man it's okay your doing okay man just relax take a deep breath and close your eyes and think about like you on the beach haha it helps me haha
Take all the time u need October is just next month so if u want the entire month of September to take a break go ahead
Dear mr shadow i am a long time fan of yours and i think its a absolutely grate idea that you are taking a brake from your big projects. like the lyrish and eoi and so on so take your time and enjoy your brake. from teddymailbox
Finally found the one time thingy to remind you that, i am still glad to be watching some Gmod stories or even some random funny moments, Elements of Insanity and even other names of MLP character are bizzare but funny in different way still loved them all.
And Fluttershout is my favorite, liking her personality it is quite sad that i can't buy plush type for home.
or either Applepills seriously i might be addicted to energy drinks but onto pills? why not!? ( Same as Flutttershout about plush what ive said before )
Well i think this should be all right?
Still what ive said from the start is that i am still glad to see you doing some other things but sometimes you need to have a 1-2 month Break from other things and focus on your girlfriend.. if you have one haha.. ( no offence i might've forgot that you had for a long time sorry )
Quite shame i cant come up on the Equestria Czecquestria on our side since i am busy with other things well sadly a work time and different work time shift routine's..
but still glad to watch many vids of yours and having some fun and even awesome listening of talks ( yeah twitch is the only thing that i can't get to since i am joined with my friends on discord and having some talks mostly since i am forgetting you have different time zone )
Oh.. i am mumbling again right?
So sorry Mr.Shadow
Anyways have fun and good break
Oh boy.. and here throught it was going to be a private not public.. Oh this is gonna be embarassing, and i will be expecting some weird comments 😨
Dude, take the time you need on your break. No matter how long it takes. It's good for your health, mentally and physically. I am sorry that he had to deal with a stalker. Thanks for giving us a heads up on the guy, and I hope karma bites him hard and you staying safe if this guy tries something terrible than just stealing your characters and impersonating you online.
I actually never noticed about your health dude, but I understand, so take as much time for you need to recover from your animating, I’ll see you soon dude
Hope you do take things a little bit easy. It's burnout is definitely not the funnest experience. That's for damn sure. Take as much time as you need, whether that's a week or a month.
It’s Cool Shadow I understand if you need a break just take it easy for a bit I can wait. 😊
Its Ok shadow! Im here for ya. Its quite distressing to hear about this, take as long as you need and stay safe! get well man.
Take as long as you need, Shadow. Your health takes priority over the projects you've been working on.
Take all the time you Shadow and I will wait with absolute patience on anything you make or do. Especially video's that take alot of work. Stay awesome dude.
I understand man everyone needs some time to cool off and I hope you keep it cool and have an awesome break and day.
I loved your update!
Please take all the time you need Shadow.
I'm sorry that you've been having such a hard time, Shadow. I also hope that this stalker is brought to justice.
Of course shad! I totally don’t blame u for needing a break. Just take it slow, slow down, & take as much time as needed.
ur completely okay man, take as long as you need. ur content will always be awesome and a huge inspiration!
Take your time to rest and relax there is no need to overwork yourself so take your time nothing is as easy as it sounds but it's best to be determined and persevere and yes that is from Undertale but it's true I can wait some time longer for the projects while you take a break from work just know that things will take time and that's fine you do you and to quote Popeye "I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam"
True true take all the time you need
Take your time health first!
We are not stopping you man! Take a break as long as you want man
It’s fine shadow we get it health is important it’s important to have your health be the best it can
Look man, don't overwork yourself. You gotta take things slow and steady. Take for as long as you need dude, I'm always patient.
Be cool and stay safe man. 🎷😎👉🏿
its fine for i would say on behalf of everyone you deserve abit of R&R
If you don’t mind me asking I’ve been waiting for long time to see the other parts of pinkie pie's exciting adventure and rainbow dash's quest for swag so when will they be finished
Every creative deserves breaks! Take all the time you need fammo!
Pray 4 mine shadow brother. Take all the break you need brother.
Take as long as you wish. Please don’t feel bad about making your fans waite. I hope & pray you feel better soon. Have a wonderful day Shadow.
Ok, I will be here waiting for your next upload. Have a good break shadow. :)
