leaving deviantart/taking a very long break, please read this journal for more information:
Leaving DeviantArt/Taking a very long break.Hello all!
I have decided to take a very long break from deviantart, or potentially leave for good. I figured that I should make a journal to explain my thought process here and give my thanks to everyone who has supported me on this website. 
I joined deviantart in May of 2018, and that was a pretty rough time for me. Since then I’ve gone through many experiences-negative and positive-that have shaped me as a person and an artist, and I am definitely not the same person that I was back then. When I joined, I never imagined that I would have 1,000 watchers. Hell, I didn’t think I would even have 100. The amount of support I've received around my art while on this website has shocked me and really has been the thing that pushed me to stick with art in times where I felt discouraged, as well as what kept me into art. At the time that I joined, I was fairly new to creating art and didn’t really see myself sticking with it for very long, however now it is a skill I d

Thank you!

Hi, I know u r probably busy w school but I was wondering if you had an estimated time that the customs I bought for ppl would be done? ;w;
It's 100% fine if you're busy with school/homework/etc. and haven't gotten to them yet, I just wasn't sure if you forgot to update trello or if you've been busy

lvnd In reply to pupsprout [2019-10-20 21:59:49 +0000 UTC]

yEs i have been very busy with school recently, so sorry its taken this long already.
my trello is up to date, im about 99% done with the design thats been under “lining/coloring/shading”, im literally just waiting to hear back from the commissioner about the name of the character (theyve taken very long to respond throughout this whole thing so its been really slow with theirs), and im waiting to hear back about the sketch for the other one! 
after that its straight to the commissions you bought and ill start the sketch for the one for your boyfriend as soon as i get the OK on the sketch of the commission before yours!
school has been very busy and i have a PACKED schedule and have had some relationship issues that have all combined sucked the life out of me, i sincerely apologize for that.

pupsprout In reply to lvnd [2019-10-20 22:11:35 +0000 UTC]

No it's fine! Don't worry about it.
But I do have one question, wouldn't it be more productive to work on other commission sketches while you're waiting for the okay for another one? (that way you dont have to sketch them, wait for the okay, line it, etc. and then start sketching another commission, you can have multiple just waiting to be lined instead if that makes any sense)

lvnd In reply to pupsprout [2019-10-21 21:05:51 +0000 UTC]

Yes, that would get work done quicker in theory, however I don’t do that on purpose because I know I will burn out and having too many unfinished things really wares on me and stresses me out 24/7 until I finish everything. I only work on 2 commissions at a time max to preserve my own sanity. This is the only time i’ve waited over a day to hear back from somebody about a commission so i’m going to continue with my current system because it works well for me and doesn’t drain me mentally. I’m going through a really painful and drawn out breakup at the moment and I just ask you to please be patient with me because art isn’t the first thing on my mind right now as i’m still trying to manage keeping up on school work while having no motivation to get out of bed in the morning.

I didn't realize you were going through a breakup rn, I'm sorry to hear that & I apologize if I added to your stress.
I hope you are able to find something to replace (him? her? them? dsjfkjre) as a motivator for you, breakups really suck. I've been through one and I've helped friends through theirs (actually helped my current boyfriend through a breakup w his ex a couple years ago,,, and that one was just y i k e s)

lvnd In reply to pupsprout [2019-10-21 21:55:11 +0000 UTC]

it’s alright, you didn’t know.
I guess right now i don’t want to even think about replacing him. he strung me along and i’m not over him.
anyways thank you. i’ll try to get to your commission as soon as I can.

pupsprout In reply to lvnd [2019-10-21 23:49:36 +0000 UTC]

I didn't mean replacing him as in getting into a relationship djfkgrkge
I meant like distracting yourself (but also allowing yourself to grieve and try to heal) with a pet, videos, writing, etc. 
whatever motivates you to get out of bed ;w;

i mean,, the website says it’s closed and ig i figures that people would be able to figure out that they’re rly outdated (judging by the old art) but if it’s confusing i’ll just make a new linktr.ee or remove that from the links

ah ok!!
im mostly just lazy as HELL and don’t have a laptop anymore to fix it and the app is dumb so i’m just gonna—
put it off...

forever


no i just think it helps me be more organized if i just open up a specific type of commission with its own journal? idk i might not ever update it but we’ll see. mostly keeping it bc i think my formatting was good if i ever wanna update it

lvnd In reply to ufologist-s [2019-09-20 00:35:08 +0000 UTC]

i feel like it attracts more attention if you have the price in the title? at least with my experience. because then the people who see it in their notifications or in a group and think it’s a reasonable price are more likely to check it out, at least that’s my reasoning.
also i’m reallY picky about what art i do? like sometimes i’m feeling rly good about my busts or my headshots and only wanna draw those for a while but now i only wanna draw customs so i can have commissions open specific to that.
