Animating is really starting to grow on me I think. XD
Okay first of all I'd like to thank ALL OF YOU for all the birthday wishes! I can imagine how annoying it is to have to wish someone happy birthday right before you have to start saying Merry Christmas. I was actually really grouchy a couple weeks earlier (one reason being because I was turning 20) but now I've had so many well-wishes and surprise awesome gifts that it has made turning 20 worthwhile and it really has cheered me up greatly. So basically the gif above is my very flustered reaction. Be glad you didn't have to hear my incoherent screeches of joy over the last couple of days, haha (I was like that 90% of the time, trust me).
And now onto the important part of this journal:
MEEERRYYYYYYYY AWESOME CHRISTMAS EVERYBUDDY!
Hope you all enjoy your time with family, friends, or maybe even just on your own! And presents! Lots of presents, even the immaterial ones *coughfriendshipcountscough* for you all!
I am super unimaginative and super not interested in drawing properly (I have new games and gadgets to play with heheheh) so here, have another Christmas Ahdou. This time in a cork-snowmen hat. Kind of Aussie reference? Probably not.
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
