Description
It is with a heavy heart that I've decided to purge my gallery here on dA. I've been on DeviantArt since 2003 and I'm so sad seeing how the site has gone downhill, especially in recent years. No interaction or interest, no comments on my work, changes made to the site in general that the majority of users didn't want. I started to delete my gallery when the N.F.T. thing happened, some of you may have noticed and I got a few people asking where they could view my older work so I made an archive site on a separate server for my old artwork from here. I manually went through my entire gallery, spanning well over 1000 pieces, saved them all, dated the files with the upload date and backed them up (I have all my work backed up anyway but this was a catalog of what had been on here specifically) and it took days.
I left my character references and a few other things on here, I had deleted everything before 2019. Now it is all gone aside from some poems, cosplay and my dA ID images.
Like many people, the recent AI update dA brought in scared me into just deciding to get rid of the rest. Yes, I know they sort of rectified the situation by making it so people were automatically opted out instead of in, but it's one thing after another with this site and I'm tired of it. This site was like my second home, I made so many friends here over the years, had some great and meaningful conversations and art trades/commissions etc and interaction with the community but it's been slowly dying over the last few years and I don't see it coming back. Yes, it's good that they allowed us to edit our profiles etc again but I've had enough of the ups and downs and drama of DeviantArt. I came here from Side 7 and I will stay to watch my few friends who are still uploading but I won't be uploading here for the foreseeable future. Not unless a LOT changes and it feels stable and good again.
So here is where to find me!
