Hello to any still active here on dA, and still following me, it's been a while. About 3, 4...5ish years since I last logged in? and mind you, I was drunk so I wasn't completely there to fully grasp the entirety of my nostalgic emotions. Deviant for just about 12 years...wow. I tell ya, this website was quite literally my life. Checking in every. single. day. to see new posts and save countless works of art to my folders and longing to become so talented and admired as the people on my watch list. Looking back on my old work; some good and some...not so good. Some had references used and some were just borderline copies of poses that I simply drew over/changed aspects to 'make my own' but let's be honest, who hasn't? I have since then deleted some works that I just no longer care for. Whether it be from a fandom that I find extremely toxic/boring, or just plain embarrassing - or for the simple fact that I just don't see the art worthy enough to be shared, and that I can do better now.
