Moving accounts because organization. Like I said earlier, I have a very specific idea about how i want to display my stuff lately, and unfortunately the current way I have of doing that is not conducive to keeping all the artwork on here, on here. I want people to continue to have access to the work and designs I've made for them.

THUS, leaving this account open and stuff. IF in the future I do any designs for people or templates for games or other game-oriented artwork, those will go here. 

Personal artwork and other things will go on my new account, as above.

I welcome anyone who wants to follow me there!  

Edit: also I AM keeping my characters, thank you very much. they will move onto that account eventually ands till maintain their private profiles. please do not reclaim them; if anyone tries, i will be filing an art theft complaint, since i go to great lengths to secure complete ownership over my characters. 

hopefully that process won't take too long!

Does anyone know if, when you run out of your premium, can you still use your subfolders? or do they continue to exist but you can't add art to them.

So I'm considering making a new account; deviantart offers a 1 time transfer of premium-ness and i'm thinking of using that.

Mostly because this account is.. well, old. I've used it when i was playing the ARPG, which I don't do anymore. I used it when i played a lot of forum games, which I don't do anymore. It's messy and i want a more simplified account, but at the same time, I also really don't to remove works, because I want people to continue being able to find and access artwork of their characters, and the designs that I've made for them. I also don't want to make a new account and re-upload all the things because that would break urls. SO. the simple solution is making a new account. This one would stay active.

The problem? I have to make a new account. and I actually REALLY like this name. ._. why can't things be simple? 

I also considered moving my operations to a new site. Weasyl's pretty okay. maybe i'l lstill do that. but then i'd loose contacts with people over here. FA doesn't have a folders option and i love the folders option, so meh.

I may also continue to use this account on the rare occasion that i actually post like. designs i've made for people and things. :3 but mostly i don't do commissions of this kind anymore, and my game involvement is nil or minimal (Sadface but that's life for you D so yeah.

ANYWAY I'm considering it and that's my reasoning. IF I do it's not goign to be like a private thing, so i'll announce it here-- it'll mostly just be a housekeeping thing, and I welcome anyone who wants to continue what work I DO now, which is mostly watercolor sketches and drawings and other non-game-y things.

Wheeeeeee. 

So the semester's over which means i have one more summe rbreak and then one more semester and i graduate with two degrees and a whole shit ton of anxiety. There will be a move after that, across the country. There will also hopefully be grad school. We'll see. Sort of shitty side fact about that is that i won't know where i'm moving until really close to the move so, yay that kind of stress. 

Yeeeep.

Along with that is getting seriouser with things. Because this is going to be a kick-my-ass semester and then i have to work really hard to establish my studio practice and shit which takes a lot of self discipline and i'm very scared about that.

With part of that this semester, i stopped RPing on most of my games (which made me sad but i haven't got the time for it, unfortunately.) and i canceled the commissions i had outstanding. I just didn't have the time, and so i expect i'll continue to not-have-the-time.

IDK if that will be permanent. I've never really had a period in my life where i haven't RPed in some fashion. Even now i'm doing a little bit of private RP with some friends but its weird not to be part of a big game.

ANYWAY on that note-- not really sure what I'm going to do here, tbh. Can you transfer a deviantart subscription to a new account? Because if so, what i might do is move to a different account. Leave all the stuff on here up because a lot of that is for other people, like designs i've done and art i've done nad i want people to have access to that, but from this point forward I'm not sure if i'll ever be doing that kind of commission work again, and if i do it probably won't be in the way people liked to purchase from me. SO I'm not sure if this is a good venue for me. idk.

It wouldn't be a private move cuz i'm friends with lots of people on here and i want to keep those relationships (which sort of make me think that it's not worth moving at all. ._. Mostly i just don't want to redo my DA's orginization again)

Anyway. it's goign to be a really busy year for me so love at people's faces and wish me luck!
