well. I will do my best to keep this brief. (this post is about deviantart.)

I have been on dA for a very, very long time. I joined sometime around 2008 and have stuck with it through a lot of major ups and downs. I mostly believe them when they say they've reversed this recent decision and are doing their best to do right by users, but also... straw that broke the camel's back and all that.

I'm not deleting my dA because there's a lot of history for me there. I was already not very active there, only logging on every couple of months to post something (and not keeping up with anyone that I was watching, sadly), but now I think I'm going to stop making the effort to post there at all. this feels kind of sad because it truly marks the end of an era, even though I lowkey feel like it's been a long time coming at this point. so, what does this mean for my art? here's the sitch.

obviously, I will continue to post here on tumblr. if this is the only place you follow me, no reason to worry.

I also stumbled upon a tiny little gallery site called Side7. It's been here since all the way back to 1993 apparently? it seems very small and very quiet, but honestly, maybe it will be nice to post things somewhere that numbers don't really matter. I'm here, if you want to check it out.

and even though the feedback I've heard on it has been a touch shaky, I've also joined Inkblot. I'm really going to try to give it a heck of a shot. my new account is here, come say hi if you'd like, I'm going to be doing my best to follow & engage with other art that I like.
