When I look back at the year 2016, the most predominant thing I can see is a lot of bad news and life finding new and creative ways to stall me, preventing me to hit deadlines or goals whenever I set them. Even more so than before. Sure, around the end of the year, things have finally started to improve, mostly regarding money...and I had small pieces of success in some areas...but I rarely got to invest much time/got to indulge in my main projects regularly, nor did I manage to draw more than once every few weeks or even months. Thus the lack of improvement, which really irks me. Long story short, 2016 was a shitty year and no one's going to miss it. -.-'
For 2017, my motivations are simple. Really, no fancy achievements or goals. I just want to generally become better at everything I do. Drawing, music, sticking to one thing as long as I need it and finishing stuff faster...and everything else. You name it. I want less procrastination, less standing in my own way or in anyone else's, and more touchable results in the end. Something I can look back on and say: "There, I did it. I managed (insert achievements)." I want to see my improvement. And I want to always be ready to take the next step, so I can make use of an opportunity if it presents itself to me. That is all.
I have already started re-organizing my life, creating free space and order in our home by building furniture to store stuff in, and by coming up with a completely new system to structure my data regarding projects and such. The beginning of 2017 means for me to order new, long desired equipment, regaining my discipline and to get cracking.
Especially the new tablet will make a difference as soon as Ive gotten used to it. I really want to practice and draw more, so I can finally get out more pics and start that damn webcomic I've been planning and preparing for years. And to get over with stuff I've been procrastinating for who knows how long, be it out of my own volition or because I've been forced to. That kind of stuff...along with a few personal things that will make mine and my husband's life better. Things are taking an interesting turn lately, so I'm going to roll with it. XD
To all of you, I wish you a Happy New Year in advance, since I'll be leaving town in three hours and only come back at the end of the weekend. Have a nice party. Seminon out

I'm not dead, I swear :/
Here I am, noticing that I haven't drawn and uploaded any pictures for three years now...my last posts being story excerpts and a journal, both pretty outdated by now as well. Does anyone even read these journals anymore? I admittedly can't say I do, ever since the changes in the layout of DA have made it one hell of an inconvenience - they don't appear on the profile page anymore, they don't appear on the same page with new deviations from artists/groups you're watching anymore and have to be clicked separately...I usually forget this category exists at all. Neither have I been following the influx of art, simply for the reason that a) I'm not dropping by very often these days, and b) whoever set up the new design fucked up royally, and everything is so painfully slow that I'd be dying of old age before I manage to browse through everything. I stand by what I said before: This hasn't been feeling like DA anymore for a long time, and nobody is bothering to fix it. Everything has become
What is it with those bots?
I don't know what's going on now, but we seem to have a pandemic here on DA too. Lots of bots have started liking my comments in the last two weeks, and it's all empty profiles that link all to the same fishy site, which I assume is a dating platform (which is ironic in itself). Why are they continuously running rampant? It seems like I'm not the only one having this problem too. To be honest, it irks me on a level beyond the fact that it's spam.
If I get likes, comments, faves and such, I want them to be from a real person who appreciates something I said or made. If it's just a bot meant to lure me to some sort of fishy link, or whatever
Why is the new DA so unbearably ugly? -.-'
*Short rant*
Okay, I haven't shown up here for quite a while since nothing much is going on and it already felt to me like DA was slowly dying. I haven't drawn or uploaded drawings since what, October of 2018? That is a completely different story, but what I'm saying is that I'm not particularly motivated anymore either when I look at this new design (although I did want to at least occasionally draw again tbh). Can't find shit on there. It's cluttered, unorganized and just rubs me the wrong way. And most people I've talked to seem to agree on that. Can't believe they'll force this upon us instead of giving us the choice between the new and t
Update + Story Theory Special Tips
How's it going, folks? I know, same old story, sorry for my inactivity. I haven't really drawn anything since last October, and even currently, the stress as well as a lot of preparation to branch out into multiple new jobs are driving me a little too nuts to even consider it again.
But there's good news too, namely that I will likely soon offer new services, from reopening sketch commissions over writing commissions to individual one-on-one coaching for anything around your stories, to bring them to life. More to that when time is near, but I'd appreciate it if you'd tell me if you're interested, and in which of those specifically.
Now, eno
