Deleting my DeviantArt account.
a year ago
Tiger's Den Studios presents... A Tiger's Eye production of.. A Tiger's Claw journal.
No idea why I'm writing this, nobody ever reads these damn things. BUT, just in case we're living in a parallel universe and someone actually does read this, I'm permanently deleting my dA account. I have no use for it anymore. All the people I joined it for are, as far as I know, no longer there. Plus it's just a safe haven for art thieves. Not only that, but art theft is actively encouraged. They openly support NFTs, which is something I refuse to be a part of. That, and I had no idea before I looked it up. I always knew they didn't give a shit about their own ToS, I just didn't know they actively supported art thieves.
So yeah, I'm permanently deleting my dA account. Just wanted to say something. I don't know who I'm saying it *TO*, but I guess at least now it's out there. I'll be deleting it after I post this, then I'll go through my submissions here and see if I have anything there that I don't have here and, if I do, I'll repost it here.
DeviantArt is being a total pain in my ass and not letting me download anything that I fucking uploaded, so I'm having to save them the old-fashioned way.

Not to mention the people I used to hang out with aren't there anymore (or at least I haven't heard from them in years), so I'm just going to keep my memories of how it used to be, and move on.
Sorta weird.
Anyway: When you're mostly presenting furry stuff, Pixiv seems to be, by content, much more suitable than dA anyway these days.
Either way the site's changed waaayyyy too much for me - physically, artistically and emotionally - so I've finally decide to pack my stuff up and leave. There's nothing there for me, anymore, and all it does is bring back sad feelings.
dA just isn't the site that it used to be, and as sad as that is I think it's just a sign that I need to move on.
