Hope that you come back soon, Ketix has always been one of my Favorate skins. Enjoy the Break, and Thank You!!!

Enjoy the break - you certainly deserve one. I always enjoy your work.

'A change is as good as a holiday', so just put on a clean pair of socks and stay...

Take care, and come back soon...

Taking time off is sometimes the best thing you can do. Even though you might be taking a break your fine collection will still remind us of your contribution. If you get a chance just pop in to say hello, I know we would all love to hear from you...

Thanks for all of the fantastic artwork. I'm sure the others are awaiting your return as eagerly as I am. I hope you can relax and enjoy all life has to offer.

As all have said, enjoy the break but please come back. As a Nextstart user your works are at the top of my favorites.

I haven't been here long but your name sure does pop up a few times on downloads!!! Everyone needs a break. Hope your break isn't to extended but as long as needed.

Hope is won with a twinkle in the eye and a dream in the heart.

I have enjoyed your skins and am sorry to see you go. Breaks are good things, though. Perhaps, for a time, it will be more like a shift? Meaning you will come here, as I do, a lover of the skins and appreciator of the community and not as skinner? Anyways... enjoy your break and Godspeed!

Huh ?!? All this bruahaha for a mediocre, no talent pixle pusher? Why a ape in human suit could do better than essorant. Quit now? Why? You just got started, and now you're leaving the biz because of sore fingers? Sorry essorant I quess goading you won't bring you back for a while. The OLD CRAB will always remember your lightness of being skins. As GoodMorhing wrote Godspeed and come back often just to help out with some comments.

Essorant (Tim),
Your Devoir skin is still my all time favorite, hope your break blows new winds into your sails, and you come back refreshed. In any event, thanks for your creativity.

Taking a break is sometimes the best thing you can do.

We'll miss you, though. Of all the wonderful skinners on this site, yours and treetogs' skins spend the most time on my desktop, there's an elegance and fit and finish that sets a very high standard.

Good luck, and hope to see you again soon

Thanks a lot

37 goodbyes and not another post by essorant
/me thinks he really went?

Sorry Doreen...

Sincere thanks for all the kind words. This _will_ be just a break rather than a complete retirement. Fear not. Expect something later in the year.

The reasons?

1) time - I haven't enough of it at the moment (hence the lack of a response from me to all these comments)

2) inspiration - I haven't enough of it at the moment (after about eighty NextStart themes it gets to point where I'm not sure what to do with a menu!)

Later everyone.

Tim.

See you soon Tim, have a good one, mate.

Oh, and just to blow his secret, he's actually going to work in Ireland as a potato picker for a year.
Oops! I've said too much ....

I'm a big fan of your skins, enjoy your break and we all will look forward to your return.

Thanks for the skins.
