Hey everyone!

I hope all of you are doing well, I miss you all, so much, and I'm missing Deviantart more by the day.
Lately I'm keeping myself very busy with a lot of thingsn, including playing guitar, and some other projects, sadly none of those are digital art related. I simply don't have a tablet to draw with yet, but I'm yearning for it, I'm craving it, so you can be sure I'll be back making art again before you know it!

I've been going through some of my digital art lately in my gallery, and I keep thinking I made some things I am still so proud of, and I want to make more pieces like that! And I thought about all the friends I made on here, and how there are those of you I grew really close to even outside of Deviantart, and I miss those connections on here.

I love you all, and I will definitely be back making art again when I can! I'm gonna try to be a bit more active on Deviantart again, because it just makes me feel good coming here.

Didn't I use that title already before? I don't even know any more, it feels like every time I write a new journal entry it is just to apologize for my absence, but I felt some life updates were in order.

Three months ago my ex broke up with me, it was really rough for about two weeks, like, really rough, but survival mode kicked in pretty fast. Once I analysed our relationship myself from the outside, it became very clear it was the obvious thing to do, and if she hadn't, I probably would have broken it off in time myself. We remain friends for sure, and we parted ways in very good terms.

In that time I actually met someone else, someone who showed me how things should be anyway. I even travelled to the mighty States of 'Merica! And experienced many great new things! Haunted houses during Halloween, Metal Concerts I wanted to try for many years now, Taco Bell and Wallmart, lol, that's right! Many great things!

I really want to draw again, I still do, the urge never left me, finding the WILL to draw is a completely different story though. I have many ideas, hopes and wishes, but art is something I never forced, and never will. Currently though I am without a laptop, and without a tablet... that kinda makes it harder. I might soon get a new laptop, at least that way I can start keeping an eye on here again. But for now, I just want to play video games, and focus on another project I've been working on since January of this year.

My current situation isn't easy, but I feel happy, I'm good, and I'm surviving.

Hey everyone!

Valasedai has opened up her Scenery Commissions, something pretty rare, so now is your chance if you were looking to get something high quality made!

Unfortunately it is not in happy light, we've recently had a some bad news, the bottomline is that we'll be missing hundreds of dollars for the next few months because of some minor statistics that have been working against us when it comes to our social aid and health insurance.

You'd be helping us out just by sharing her commissions already!

That's it, that's how I can always tell how much I have forsaken dA. It's been a year since my last journal, I haven't logged on in 370 days, I have cut my hair in the mean time, off, all of it, for work related reasons, don't worry, it'll grow back, Ihad one of the best years of my life, Nintendo freaking released a new video game console!! People have favourited some of my art and send me pms, people that don't even have active accounts anymore. Someone I was watching deleted their account as well, so much movement. I just miss talking to my friends on here, watching people evolve through their art.

But all in all, sometimes we have choices to make, I just couldn't force the art back in my life this past year+, I still have many ideas, but just not the will to put them down on paper. I've been reading more, playing a ton of video games, doing my Youtube videos, explored new job opportunities and much more.

I've also been working on a secret project, this is the one that shows I haven't been wasting my time away either, haha! But it is something I do choose over art right now, but it's something I'm not ready to reveal yet. I'm going to try to log on more, and I'm sure I'll be making more art eventually, but for now, I'm just going to hang around a bit, see what you all have been up to.

Hey everyone,

I'm trying as hard as I can to force myself to become more active again when it comes to my art, both my art AND dA I should say. I'm probably OVER A YEAR behind with some of the people I follow, with checking what they have uploaded, so if you are among those that I follow, expect some retro-active commenting on your art.

I still have many ideas of things that I want to draw, and my mind doesn't stop coming up with new ideas either, so creativity isn't the problem. My life currently is finally really good again too, it can always be better but compared to the end of last year I'm on top of the world. This is greatly thanks to my two new cats!

So yeah, my lack of art is 100% simply because I can get that drive back, to get into actually taking the time to draw, because I just can't get myself to pick up that pen, I just don't 'feel' like it, which is horrible considering everything I still really want to draw.

This journal is just to say that I'm catching up on things, I'm trying to catch up on what everyone has been doing on dA, and I'm trying to force myself to draw again, slowly but surely, things will start up again. If I start small, that flow will surely come back to me.
