Hello to all who watch me and still check this place! ^_^;
As you've noticed I've been less and less active here, ahem, likely posting new art once in 3-5 months if not less. I'm so sorry for all new watchers I get. If you have tumblr or instagram, please follow me there instead.

  • tumblrif you have art blog I will gladly follow back!
  • instagramlikewise! If you are using it for art, I will gladly follow back and keep in touch!
  • facebook  I mostly post what I've already posted on instagram or tumblr but it's easier to reply and keep conversations going!

As you can see I've been doing traditional art much more over the past month which I've been pretty happy with! :D
I work digitally at work so after 8 hours of drawing on a tablet I really don't feel like drawing more at home. I'm way more comfortable with a regular sketch book. I finally sit down and just draw whatever I find relaxing. I'm aware I'm likely loosing people's interest. I know majority of people, especially here, expect digital artworks from me. For the longest time I was even ashamed to check DA because I knew I had nothing new to show. ^^;

I tried uploading my traditional works but the amount of attention they got was abysmal compared to my digital works. I know they can hardly compare but it is discouraging. I've had drawn traditional works in the past which got over 150 faves and now getting above 30 in a month is a miracle. It feels with DA's changes I have no place here anymore and I don't feel comfortable shoving my works in 50 different groups just so I get +5 more faves. I feel like I'm trying to market some goods on a crowded bazaar. XD;;
Most of the people I used to follow closely have moved to tumblr and they either deactivated their DA accounts or stopped updating them.

I won't be deleting my gallery or deactivating the account tho! I still check the place. I still try to reply to comments around or participate in gift exchanges, especially around Christmas and Valentine's day ... but don't expect much activity besides that. :(

If by some chance I get sudden urge to draw digitally and make something DA worthy, I will post it here.
Thank you for your support!
