I don't want this to sound like some sort of "OMG I R DhRAMAR QUEN" entry and I'm hoping that people won't see it that way, but I feel like that's being rather optimistic of me. Anyway, I'm not really planning to post here anymore, but I'll keep up most of my stuff (deleting only the really horrible stuff that isn't worth looking at). This decision wasn't influence by any terrible fight with another deviant user (ILU GUYS RLY) or any "I HATE DA WTF", but mostly because I don't want to feel like I need to post here often in order to be noticed or known and appreciated. I also don't want to feel like my artistic ability is determined by how many pageviews I've gotten (and that does sound sort of drama-y, so I apologize about that even though it's sort of true, in a way).I also don't finish enough things to really justify keeping up an online gallery. However, I recently made a sketch dump at my journal and I plan to make many more in the future (once I get over this drawing-slump I've been in for a couple of month). I don't friends-lock and I'll probably add you if friend me and I've added a art request page too at the top of my journal, so if there's something you'd like to see drawn by me, just leave a comment. I've had a great time here and I plan to stick around anyway and I admit that I might post here again, but don't be surprised if I don't.

I agree with a lot of the stuff you said about DA. That's mostly the same sort of reasons I stopped posting my stuff here too. I use it to keep tabs on artists, but that's about it. I took down all my stuff and just update my blogspot occasionally.

I love your art though so I'm definitely going to add you on LJ. :D username is verdant_skye, just so you know who the hell it is that's adding you XD and HEY art request memes are awesome! I'd feel bad requesting something without doing something else in return though! I propose a trade of some sort, perhaps? :3

Heh, I just replied to your comment, like, two seconds ago :B I just wanted to draw without feeling like I have too (I don't know it that makes sense)? I guess I felt that because I had an online gallery, I was expected to post often in order to please those who watched, I don't know. Anyway, art trades are cool - I need inspiration anyway XD.

ME too I just replied to your comment as well :D!

I know, I kinda felt that way, too. And I also felt a bit self conscious, and annoyed by the fact that all DA seems to be about is how many pageviews and favs you get, and etc. as if that defines how good you are. Really, in order to be popular on here all you have to do is be social, which isn't hard on the internet. I wanted DA to be somewhere where everyone was kind of on an equal playing field but, I guess that's where self promotion comes into the mix. You aren't going to get noticed unless you TRY to get noticed, and I'd rather keep that sort of effort for my career. XD

SWEET. Well is there anything you'd like me to draw? XD LIke I say in my LJ comment, you should draw Crowley and Aziraphale. That would be amazing :DDDD

LAWLZ

Yeah, I suppose that's why I changed my major from being Illustration to Art History, because in all honesty (and I've said this a million times before), I really don't have the gusto or self confidence to pimp myself so extensively in order to sell myself as an artist (and that's one of biggest things Illustrators need to have besides being able to draw. I love drawing, but I can't (and don't really) want to sell myself like that. Except maybe once in a while -that'd be cool.

UM UM UM, you could draw something with horns or whatever, it's all up to you XD
I'D LOVE TO DRAW GOOD OMENS STUFF! But then I'd feel like I'd need to re-read that book, which isn't an all bad idea after all XD

I'm not really that stoked about selling myself as an artist either, but I *could* do it. I just don't like how it feels as if my personal creativity or whatever is a product to be packaged and bought. It is a bit uncomfortable, and I guess I don't blame you for wanting to keep the art you do as a hobby to yourself, because if you make it into a job there's a chance (more like a probability) that you'll start hating it. And that would suck. D: I am actually in Illustration and graphic design for school right now. I've barely started so we'll see how it goes. XD If I don't like it I don't think I'd be able to switch to art history, lol-- I'm terrible at that stuff, as interesting as it is :D;

OKAY. I can definitely do that! :D yeah, reading good omens is always fun, haha. I was thinking about reading it again too, then I can draw some fanart too! XD

Yeah, I'm lucky - I really love History (all aspects, so it's going to be hard to choose if I want to stay with art history or not :/ ), so I have an alternative to do something I would enjoy just as much (And if getting my best grades in Art History wasn't a hint enough...). And I went to art school for about a year and a half, so the decision was really recent, but I know that I can go back after I finish my History degree - it's having that choice, once I thought about it long enough, that made it easier in the end to choose.

I've only read it once so far, and I don't tend to reread books that often, but who knows? I own a copy, so I can always go back to read it again XD
