I won't get into the specifics, but I've been teetering over planning to leave for awhile now, but after some recent events, I finally decided dA isn't for me anymore. So there really isn't any one reason for my leaving.
Although I'm quitting dA I am NOT planning on abandoning this place cold turkey style ('cause we all know that rarely works). So here's how this will work:
I'm not removing my work. I'm leaving it up so that I have dated proof the work is mine, since obviously if I post it elsewhere it won't have the exact date of completion on it and yadda yadda yadda. (Art theft and crap isn't even close to being a reason for my quitting anyway >_> ) I might eventually move everything into storage, but for the moment it stays up.
If I owe you a commission or a prize, I will contact you on here here. Any I take in the future I won't, just the last few things I need to do. Since it's all prizes and commissions for people here ON dA, I see no point in making life difficult on the people I owe work for.
Don't worry if you accidentally comment or send me a note on here. I will be getting on periodically just to make sure everything's ship shape <_< >_> I mean... I -was- on this site a long time. It'll be awhile before I'm officially gone gone.
So before anyone gets the wrong idea about my actual reasons for leaving, it's not because of any one person. I've just gotten seriously tired of how bogged down with teenage drama this website has gotten. Sure, -any- website is going to be that way, but I'd rather have my work presented on a website I associate more with professionals than I do drama llamas. Plus it really wears me down when I'm supposed to be concentrating on school work, but whenever I go here to relax, I'm constantly bombarded with people's problems they have with one another. Some people will probably see this as me being selfish, but the truth is, I just care -too much-. I need to remove myself from that a little and try and care more about the things that will actually affect my life rather than the things that will only distract me from these things.
I'm currently working on a blog right now for school purposes, but I'm also working on my website. As soon as one or the other is finished, I'll be posting the link here for anyone who still would like to view my work. My blog will still probably contain some of my opinions and whatnot, so it'll turn into more of my journal and all that fun stuff, but my website will be free of that. So if you like my work, but hate me, that's where you'll want to go ;D But if you hate my work, but love me, well... you're out of luck because my blog will still be mostly art <_<
If you want to keep in touch with me, I get on Yahoo almost messenger every day. I also have MSN and AIM, which I'll -try- to get on as well, but I'm pretty forgetful about remembering to sign into those. I suppose you could also try e-mailing me at lgubse20@student.scad.edu
Any questions you might have, just contact me and I'll be more than happy to answer
