If I didn't have my job, it would be much easier, but that's not really a viable option for me.
Hello! It's been a while!
I'm not here much anymore, as you might've noticed - or not, I don't know. Maybe you haven't. I get very little engagement here compared to how it used to be. It's a shame because I used to really love this community, and many of the folks I used to talk to have evaporated. I get basically no views on my art now, either, and I think that after 17 years, that's probably not a fantastic sign. Anyway - if any of you are interested in my art, or commissioning me, or even just chatting, I have a Discord server that's quite active and welcoming. I post my stuff there more than I do here (also can't pop any NSFW stuff here, I guess), and I also post things like works in progress and occasionally raffles when the brain cell cooperates. https://discord.gg/9bpPPT2 Anyway, I hope you've all been well. Weird around here. Even posting a journal is different, and I still don't like Eclipse. Why'd they nerf categories, of all things? Massive step backwards, if you ask me.
Commission openings, WIPs, etc.
https://discord.gg/GCMGmJb I only announce my commission openings on Discord nowadays. If you're interested in getting art from me, consider joining my Discord server. :) I rarely look at notes on here now and post more on Discord than I do here.
I have a Discord server - you can find me there!
Hello friends!
Since dA is probably going down the toilet, I've made a new art server to chat with you all and post artwork! I'll likely still post here, but I don't find Eclipse very user-friendly, so I don't know how consistent I will be. You can find out about my commission status and stuff on Discord. I typically don't use notes here on dA anymore, I am much more reachable via Discord, so if you've noted me and haven't gotten a response, please poke me on Discord! You can find your way to me through my server here.
I'd love to see you all there. Everybody is welcome.

Oh, hi.
I realised that the last time I posted a journal was the middle of last year, so I thought I'd toss a new one up here for no reason beyond wanting to appear alive.
I've been here for 15 years. That's half of my life, and it sort of spins me out that it was that long ago that I first joined here. Things have changed a lot over those years, but I'm really grateful for you guys, and for this platform. 16-year-old me would probably look at me now and be a little nonplussed, but we never really know how things are going to go, huh?
Anyway, I hope you're all well.
I'm still here, just a bit quieter.
