Deviation Actions
Exiting DA, so hop onto my gritty newsletter
Hey! This account has laid dormant for a very long time, but news of what's been going on here reached as far as where I set up shop on Twitter. I won't beat around the bush: I will be closing my account here. It has little to do with AI as a technology or the features DA presented and then corrected. The way they handled the whole debacle with a tone-death roll out, then treated its users with impudence (not a new occurrence, I remember how they talked down to us with their logo design infringement). As a company, I am not confident in their direction, so I don't want to stick around. Out of all platforms I've been on, I was most reluctant to leave DA. It's like throwing a family album in the trash. My first big fanfic and fandom communities came to be here, and I learned so much from my peers when I was a teenager, giving and receiving feedback. I want to preserve as many memories I can, like those hyper-enthusiastic long deviation descriptions with so many emoji (haha), when I
Popping in Briefly and Commissions Open!
Feels a little weird to write a journal entry again...
Hi! I know this is out of place, considering I haven't been around at all and am not uploading anything, but if you care to spare a minute, I'd like to share something I've recently announced! : >
I'll be traveling to New Zealand next month, and opened commissions to cover some of the costs! As of this writing, I have 8 slots left, and just under a week for commission application deadline.
Head over to me Tweet to view the general details!
Please retweet if you can! I would really appreciate it~
Otherwise...
I've been pretty all over the place recently! As you can tell from the p
Considering another Spring Clean
Eyyyy just a heads up, I will be giving my gallery yet another spring clean at some point!
No specific time set for this yet, I just want to 'store' some more old art I don't want sticking around anymore.
This decision is not influenced by anything in particular, it's just something I've been meaning to do for a while.
In the meantime, I've also created an Art Station account.
This is a stand-in portfolio until I can work out how to get my own website to look more impressive and less...starkly awful.
Heads Up, Heading Out-ish
I think many of you will have noticed that my activity on DA has been limited. That's been mostly because of uni, but there's also another reason:
I am not very invested in DeviantArt anymore.
The community so far has been incredible. Over the last...what, 7 years? I've grown so quickly and I don't think I would have without such a supportive group of people. I am grateful for the inspiration I have received so far and my memories are nothing but positive.
But I am now opening a new chapter in my creative ventures and DA unfortunately is not suitable for this chapter. There's very little industry involvement that I can delve into, and the
