Well, once upon a time (and not so long ago - three days), I wanted to post my artwork and guess what, I'm not able to, because dA submitting site is constantly bugging.
I can't post my latest finished commissions
(Hello Sarah, I sent you a note some time (exactly on your b-day) ago, so please check it. I hope it has been sent, because I'm not able to react to notes, submit my art, nothing. So if you'd like to, I can send you your cat on different website or anything you'd like to. :iconadoptsandshtuffs:)

and what's more, not even my personal artwork that I was working my ass off on. This is the last straw for me, I guess. 
Deviantart website was making me angry for a longer period time, maybe that's one of the reasons I was not here as often as I could. 
I agree with various reasons that can be found in this journal (and it was written 2 years ago!)

Is it Me? Or is Deviantart Dying?I was chatting to some art/writing friends online, and it seemed to be something we agreed upon.
Deviantart seems kinda dead, or like it's dying or something. Or is that just for me ( and the people I've spoken to?). Honestly, I think a lot of the changes they made are responsible.
Disclaimer (because I always need one for some reason). This is my journal. It is my opinion. If you have a different opinion I'd love to hear it. I'm not out to offend anyone (kind of sadly hilarious I have to post these more and more lol ).
I've been here a long time. Well, I suppose I wasn't active for many years. I lived in Japan and Deviantart has no presence there. But then 3.5  years ago I decided to teach myself to paint, so I suddenly became active.
I think a lot of the recent Site Updates to Deviantart have really made things hard for those of us who are serious about artwork ( or maybe everyone?). Usually, it was fairly standard that when you post a new


the whole thing with core memberships and stuff...I kinda feel like the site is getting worse and worse every year :( 
the fact that I cannot upload my art (and I've tried different PCs, different web browsers and different phases of the moon) to the site that is about uploading art, well..


I've decided that I will probably move to my yet-not-functioning old FB site, so anyone who is willing to stay in touch with me and my art and get quick response can find me


and, this is my latest piece :)

Thank you guys for all the nice feedback you've given me through the years :)

you're not the first one who resignated on what's going on with dA and i'll very gladly follow you elsewhere. having such people leave makes dA even more deteriorate, but let's hope for the better in the future. good luck (:
