I've been on DeviantART for over 10 years.
TEN YEARS. I also have 30,000 notifications. Less than 10% of which are feedback... dying I mean, look! 
visited my profile in 2009! I'm so cool.
Wooooowwww that's a long time, I remember when it didn't cost anything to change your username.
For the longest time art has been a personal struggle for me. I enjoy it more than anything but I've gone through such long periods without doing it at all. I just get so overly critical and I feel like nothing I do is original, never an original thought... and honestly, at this point I just want someone to see my work and like it. I guess I'm just not great at networking, but I also know inactivity is the problem! It's hard for me to mix my digital and traditional art, I become such a perfectionist when it comes to digital and get impatient. And I feel like my traditional isn't even worth uploading. Whatever it's worth, I'm there for the most part, but I watch over 1,000 deviants so it can be hard to keep track of everything so I apologize for not getting back to people, and I let school and work drown me. If anybody even sees this journal, I'm down to collab and trade and RP if anyone is interested in any of my characters.
P.S., the 'contact me' bar is all odd and cropped off in the editor, so that's not my information, but thank you for the skin... which I don't know how long ago I downloaded because the formatting is all funky now. Probably before core existed. But I figured red is more eye-catching then grey.. lol
Thanks,
Business
dope animation!
