Deviation Actions
So I disappeared again (no shock) but this time it wasn't just my laziness!! My old laptop's hardrive went bye-bye so I had nothing to draw on but paper for the past few weeks. luckily I have all my important files saved on a cloud, but I've gotta re-set up everything on my new laptop. Hopefully I should have more art uploaded soon but I'm not sure since I've been paranoid of thieves lately, for no particular reason other than my ideas have been stolen before and it just left me with a little of a rotten feeling. Some have been super nice about it when I may not have been and some I never confronted so I really have no reason to be scared haha. hopefully I will talk to you all again very soon!

My Decision
So, I've thought long and hard about the events that transpired over the last few days. Since there has been no updates, I've come to the hard decision to stop posting on Deviantart. I know that deleting my art will not undo what has already been taken and I know that posting to other sites will not make my art any safer. I have decided to stop posting to Deviantart to reduce my activity and show the devs that I am not happy with this decision at all. This decision was rushed and not well thought out, and the devs have made it clear they do not want to listen to their userbase. Therefore, I do not forsee me changing my mind unless something changes. I would be lying if I said this didn't make me upset, Deviantart is where I first got serious about being an artist. I saw so many amazing artists on here and I wanted to be like that so badly. Eleven years of my artistic growth is stored on this site. So I will be leaving up an archive of my work. I will be slowly taking my art out of
What Happened
Editors note: so this was originally supposed to be an update about me and what I'd be doing around the wake of what happened, but I accidentally wrote a pretty comprehensive article about the whole fiasco. I hope this helps anyone who's still confused and if I missed anything please let me know in the comments! What Happened Deviantart announced yesterday morning that they were rolling out their own AI image generating software called DreamUp. In the announcement, they explained what DreamUp was, talked about how artists can integrate AI generated images into their workflow, gave an official statement on Deviantart's stance on AI generated images, explained how to purchase prompts, explained how the software worked, and then announced a new badge and contest. You can read the full thing here: Note that if you didn't read this yesterday when it came out, you will be reading and edited version of this journal to clarify what is actually happening here. Because as it turns out
Hey, been a while!
Hey y'all! It's been a while since I updated over here, but there's been so much going on with me that it's too much to update in a couple of tweets. First off, I graduated undergrad and decided to go for a masters degree! I have various reasons for this, but obviously the workload here is a lot heftier than it was in undergrad so it's sucking up all of my free time. Obviously all of my energy will be going to my degree first, so any time and motivation I have to draw is basically non-existent. I'm going into my final year now, which will be the most intense so you may not hear from me again for a bit! Secondly, the pandemic. It really hit me hard, harder than I really ever anticipated. On top of the isolating nature of it all, I've hit a harder burnout wall than I've ever hit before in my life. Getting almost anything done that I have no interest in is an absolute struggle and my brain has developed a concerning level of apathy. My ADHD is acting up far worse than it ever has, so
Where to find me
Wow uh so I guess a lot of people are migrating off DA, so I guess it's a good time to plug where else you can find me if you're leaving for good. So here's all the places I upload to! I'm most active on my Twitter and Instagram than anywhere else though. Twitter Tumblr Instagram Youtube Picarto As for me, I won't be leaving DA. Eclipse is a little difficult to get used to, but I don't hate it. I've been forcing myself to use it for the past day to adjust and I've already started to get the hang of it (this was not the case when I tried to do this a couple of months ago, so I can tell they're improving it.) If you wanna know my dumb thoughts on Eclipse, here they are: Pros: - Really clean and finally updated site layout! I'm not embarrassed to show my page to anyone irl anymore, and DA finally caught up with websites in the 2020s - Intuitive. So far I've only run into one issue that I wasn't able to solve myself, which is really good! Last time I used it I immediately
