That is, I'm not going to be active for a while. All I can promise is a few visits to the devart chatroom. the reason for this is many-faceted. one, I don't like the direction that deviantART is taking. two, I'm definitely dissatisfied with the quality of my "art" here on dA. three, I'm exploring some brony stupidity over at tumblr, where I have made an ask blog for my squirrel self. (still not a furry).
I decided to make my hiatus official because a lot of you followers openly dislike MLP and any references to it, so I figured it best that I lay low until my obsession with it subsides (which invariably happens, so expect to see more crappy drawings from me whenever I stop being stupid). However, that's not the only reason. As I said above, I'm not satisfied with my art. now, this is normal. it does, however, tie into me disliking the direction that dA is going. see, it's not only administrative, it also has to do with the ever-diminishing quality of the average deviation. there are still awesome artists out there, but the amount of uninspired crappy pencil/ms paint slop is slowly but surely overtaking the truly original and well-done artwork of those who actually deserve merit and recognition. dA's community is slowly crumbling, and I don't see it improving anytime in the near future. THUS, I feel that my "art" is actually adding to the pile of refuse that consists of semi-mediocre "artists" who are simply fishing for comments and meaningless faves/pageviews. this disgusts me, and I cannot allow myself to be associated with that. SO, I officially take my leave (from the art section, anyway) of deviantART, and shall only return when I am a better artist or I have forgotten why I left. It'll probably be because of the second one.
TL;DR?
my art is crap, I'm a brony (for now), have a nice dA.
