Last words

Okay, I am going to get really honest about why I am leaving deviantART. It's not so much about my studies.

*I don't feel any longer satisfaction from posting art. I thought that having some of my art on dA would help me in my art career, but it is NOT the case.

*I am sick of getting useless comments that are barely comments. Some of the commenters just make a cheap joke or pun, are creepy or/and stupid or just write very little.

*I am tired of scanning my stuff and rearranging it on photoshop; it takes a lot of time and if it is to get 50 views or 2 comments, I don't want to bother.

*I have become too "typecast" and the crowd I gather is not always a likeable one, despite some very nice friends. Even if I create some very different kind of art in the future, people will still go on about what I did before.

*It has become quite a burden to draw my quota of drawings for the website.

*The people in the forums are too agressive, try too hard to be smartasses, and continuously bash the same things. Okay, the forums are a different thing, but it tells me something about the mentality of some people here.

*My subscription has run out and it's become a drag to use the website.

*I don't have enough interest anymore.

So, I got more than 100,000 pageviews... But you know what? I don't care. I won't make a "kiriban".

Anyways, I am leaving and am going to make an art career by myself, in real life. And maybe you will see my art again someplace else, but fat chance if it is on dA.

Good bye to everyone, again.

Wow... Maybe this is why Scamwich Left.
Sorry things haven't turned out the way you hoped on Deviant Art. I'm just here until I get my LIFE back in fall of '07. (Cancer Issues, See Past Journals.)
I have always been a fan of your work, and NOT for the Typecast Creepy Reasons. You seem ather Fluent in Traditional Mediums, and I was hoping to do some Fanart or a Fan-Story of Your Erika the Jester Girl and Colin the Knight... Or make some Giftart.
I'm sorry I never found any time for that... but I'll clear some time and make ya something.
Keep in mind that While there IS Scum on Deviant-Art that makes you wonder WHY you bother (The other day, Some Bitch told me Flat-out I couldn't Draw, and I 'Should be Greatful I have ANY Pageviews AT ALL...), but there are people out there Who REMIND you why... DECENT people... People who look PAST the Nickers, and SEE the Talent. THESE people are the MEANING of it all. It's NOT about pageviews, or Faves or Popularity... it's about...
... I just realized if I say PEOPLE, I'll have talked into a GIANT CIRCLE, because that's why you're LEAVING... Right...? ^^; :hug: I'll miss you Soreley, G.

Well, Can't really say that I knew you much...
However I really understand your feelings about this.
However I've enjoyed your drawings and I hope that you'll have success in your career.
So, don't let it get to you and please hang on to your goals. ^^

Well...

I always liked your art, and sure, there are some that might have typecast you, said bad things about you, and various other things, but DO NOT let that get you down here.

I just hope I see you and your art again on DA. I like it, and if you don't want to post it here, so be it. I liked it a lot, and it's sad to see you go.
:iconmdetector5:
Besides, if you don't post anymore art here, at least visit. It would be nice to see you here again...
:iconthree-planes:
See you then. :bye:
