>Why do artist do this dumb dramatic leaving ritual just to come crawling back?
Depends but in my case I haven't released anything in close to 18 months now for two reasons. First, for everyone who is nice and appreciative and enthusiastic about your work, there's someone else who is a complete asshole. Second, AI has wildly accelerated my day job work to the point where I don't really have a ton of down time to produce fetish art. The third reason that I assume applies solely in my circumstances is that my wife is juicing again so I'm a lot busier on that front. Happy wife, happy life and all.

As for why they come back, well, a lot of fetish artists don't have reliable alternative income streams. I'm fortunate to have a great paying job.
