Deviantart gives me so much anxiety now. This is the first time I have logged in since 2014. A lot has changed. I worked on a lot of leatherwork, moved to Alaska for a few years, did lots of saddle repairs, got a boyfriend (who is AWESOME <3), and now I am living in South Dakota. I am afraid to try this site again because I don't want to have my life revolve around pixels again.
I deleted ALL of my notes. So if you've contacted me, sorry, its gone. My medication isn't strong enough to deal with that mess. I am trying to figure out how this all works again. I thought about making a new profile but there are some people on here that I enjoyed talking to so I kept it. No more HARPG. All horses are just art. I think thats what ruined drawing for me. HARPG and Nordanner.....I feel like that is such a dirty word anymore. I was sucked right into that world and spent a lot of money on pictures. It makes me sick. If thats your thing, and you can make it work or have the money to do it, more power to you. It was just toxic for me, and I have little to no willpower.
Instead of "buying breedings", "foals", and "adoptables" I will just do a lot of fan art. You have a stud I think is a gorgeous design? Congrats! Fan art! And if that benefits you and your standings with whatever group you're in, awesome! Hopefully thats something that is allowed.
I haven't figured out how to put all my deviations into one folder though. I still want my stock separate, but all my art, I'd like it in one folder. If anyone can explain that in simple terms or if there is a tutorial, that would be great.
I hope I can get back to enjoying art again! I am in an apartment in Sturgis so no leatherwork, and it is driving me crazy. So back to the computer I go. And I'd like to try painting, so here goes!
