Hey there everyone!
It's come to my attention that it has become very inactive on Deviantart, at least for the past 2 or so years for me. I've been trying to get things back up on here now and again. But, I've found this site, in particular, to not be very helpful in terms of exposure and feedback and commissions. This is not to say that any feedback I have received isn't appreciated! I am grateful to anyone and everyone who takes the time to look at my work and leave me any form of compliment (comments, favs, watches, etc.). I think it's time to "officially' announce where I'll be being more active going forward.
I have just graduated from uni with my BFA in Studio Arts and am putting myself 110% into my art and working on doing commissions/freelance work, prints, building my portfolio, keeping up a website, and staying active on Instagram. My ultimate goal is to get to the Big Apple and work as a concept artist or illustrator. I've got a lot of work ahead, but it keeps life interesting as well as busy! In doing all of these things I don't see myself staying on here ACTIVELY. I know I haven't been adamantly active for a long time, but I've still tried to maintain up to date work on here.
I'm kinda down about it. I've been on here for so long and miss how this site used to be. I've made so many great friends on here, some have moved on themselves. I try and keep up with them as best I can on other sites. That's life though and it's what makes it such a journey. I'm not leaving, I just wanted people to know, on here, that I am still around and very active just here anymore. If you'd like to keep up with my progress, art, and what not I am very active on sites that I will list down below! I will occasionally post things here like art but mainly for archiving. I still use DA as a way to keep up with artists who are only on DA as well and enjoy looking at work to inspire me. But in terms of posting and what not, I will be here very seldom.
Thank you to those that have stuck with me for so long, even when I'm not involved here very much! It means the world to me, and I hope to see you all around! I'm always open to talk and whatnot on any of the sites I have listed below
See Ya Around ! ~

PS, did they seriously take away the "feeling" option in the header/footer! Rude.
