A Final Update?

3 min read
Hey there! 

So, I don't really know who's still around at this point but I figured this was worth writing anyway. I wanted to let you know I'm 'officially' taking my leave from deviantArt. I've been very inactive the past few years and attempted to get back into the swing of things a few times but to no real avail. And after a few recent policy changes that deviantart made, I really don't feel comfortable posting my art on this site anymore.

It was a pretty great seven years ( Wow!! Seven years! ), and I'll always appreciate the good things this site gave me , it was a great place where I met a lot of really fantastic people and got to share my art publicly for the first time. I think that's pretty swell. Thanks so much to everyone who watched me grow through these past years, from folks who saw me through the 'warriors' years and those who hopped in on the tail end of things and got to see me drawing my terrible characters for the first time. I really do appreciate the love you've given me. 

I don't see myself regularly uploading to this site anymore, perhaps one day in the future I'll wander back to do something like adoptables OTC's etc. I don't want to say I will never ever use deviantArt again because god knows maybe in the near future it'll clean up it's act and become more of the booming site it once was but I don't see it being very likely, hence this update. My oldest deviations are in storage so I can still look at them, but the rest of my gallery is going to stay up as it is, I don't feel a huge desire to close the account. I might bounce on now and then to poke around a few things but I'm not really going to be posting actively anymore. Deviantart will not be a good place to follow my work or contact me.

But!! My friends, I still make art ( like a lot actually, I'm attending college for it ), and I still post it on the internet. If you're still interested in following my work you can do so in any of these places below.

PERSONAL TUMBLR;
starryevening.tumblr.com
( My art, personal posts, things I like, it's very active and essentially what I use now instead of deviantArt, you can message me there and see me upload things on a daily basis!)

ART ONLY TUMBLR; 
clairedonaghue.tumblr.com
( just art posts! nothing but, sort of like a gallery ) 

( the real good stuff ) 

Thank you again for the great few years! I hope I can see some of you again on different platforms and just, thank you so much for helping keep me invested in art. Love you all and I hope to see you again soon! :heart:

Hey there! 

So I'm not really aware of how many people are still around on this site but I totally lost interest and also sort of forgot about deviantArt while I was at school. Speaking of which man I'm in art school now and thats pretty cool and going pretty swell. Freshman year done going onto sophomore year next. 

I think? I'd like to be a tad more active here again, but I don't want to make empty promises so! maybe??? But I don't really know who's around and what kind of scene is here now! I mainly post my art to tumblr but I think I'm going to try and start uploading a backlog of cool stuff I made in school. Maybe post some more character stuff I do here and all too. 

Hope all is well on your fronts! And if you're still around hey thanks thats pretty neat. Hopefully I'll be around more often!

Hey there!! sorry so much I've been pretty darn inactive for the past few months. Senior year of high school, along with personal life stuff being messy and junk. But summer is here!! and I am (( pretty sure haha money;; )) going to be attending MCAD in the fall. So hopefully lots of art over the summer and in the future too! Thank you to people who have stuck around! :heart: you're super cool thank you.
