It has been a long time coming, but I have decided to close this account.  It'll be closed one month from now, which would be the 10th of september.

Now this doesn't mean I'm gone from deviantart.  I'm not, I have set up a new account here:  danielsdoodles.deviantart.com/

The reason I have decided to do this is for three reasons:

1.)  I want to make a new start of it, I want to leave photomanipulation on the backburner really.  Slowly I want to develop content which belongs purely to me.  Now I will still do fan art, and a lot of it, but the stock I use will be mine, the sketches and the drawing will be done by me personally.  Now I have handpicked some of my favourite pieces to be on my new account but they wont be my main body of work.

2.)  I want to build a nice community around me, I want to recreate what I think deviantart lost.  I want commenting rather than favs (though obviously favs are appreciated), and I want to do that for others to.  So I think I need a fresh start.

3.)  I think most of my work on this account is sub par and I found I should have done better.



So if you think that sounds good, come over and watch me.  Send me a note on my new account danielsdoodles.deviantart.com/ to tell me you came from my old account.  Let's have fun, but let's get better.


I'll see you on the otherside friends!

:)  

Thanks for everything...

Huddle together dear watchers.  Ah, yes! Thank you. It's good. Keep warm.  Hey!  Who's touching me up! NO!!!! Stop! You're making me giddy! No, you can't do this to me! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!  Ok now that we are done with that, well from the title you can guess what this journal is about.  A tear, dear watcher? No, don't cry. While there's life, there's...
And even though it's the end... the moment has been prepared for...

Yes friends!  I have opened a new account, a more professional one!  Marvel at its wonders! danielsdoodles.deviantart.com/
And starting a new account... Feels different this time... watcher? You know what I mean?
And don't worry folks, I didn't get a bump on the head and turn mad!  No, you don't have to think "I've got to stop... him...".
Because even a war in time couldn't change my mind!  And... before I go, I just want to tell you: you were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And do you know what? So was I!

And, though, some part of me is thinking "I don't want to go!", I'm not really going!  Just a new face and a new drive!  One that I hope you will come with me on, my constant companion! :)

See you on the new page :)

I want to apologize with my activity on deviantART.  When I first joined this wonderful website there where many people who automatically took me in and helped me with my work.  They did this by critique, by liking certain works and by guiding me.  I saw amazing work being done by individuals and I loved helping them in the same way they helped me.  

Then I lost my way.

I forcefully tried to get other people to like my work.  I did this by favoriting anything I came across that I liked but never giving the time to give a comment.  As the pool of people that I fav/watched became bigger and bigger I lost more and more people that had great work but which I wasn't commenting on anymore due to the amount of art pieces inundating my messages.  I got a ridiculous amount of messages.  For example after a week of not checking my account I had upwards of 10,000 messages.  And they would be promptly deleted because to sift through all of that would have been ridiculous.

To my own shame I only realized this recently.  I like it when people fav my work, I really, really do.  But not at the expense of commenting.  With out help and critique or work stagnates.  I think everyone knows this.  I almost got annoyed when people only faved my work and then went on their merry way.  Then I realized I was being one of the biggest hypocrites.  This is one of the reasons why I am writing it out here.  So that wont forget.  And make a promise to you all.

Over the next week I will begin to unsubscribe from a lot of people.  Of course if I think I want to continue watching you or you really want me to stick around for your work I will do that with pleasure.  This is because I want to help with your work.  I want to be a good spectator.  Next I have put down some rules for myself.  

These are:

1.  Do not fav without a comment.
2.  If I comment I will give a full explanation on what I liked about the work and what I didn't and give advice.
3.  Do not invite people to watch me, it is their choice simple as that.
4.  Every time I log in I must comment on at least 10 pieces of work of people I am watching.
5.  At least once a week I must put up an image and a piece of literature.  
6.  Do not get involved in a project if you do not have the time.
7.  Move away from Doctor Who(I still love it but its time to move on a bit) allowing only every fourth piece to be Doctor Who.  Get serious( ;) while having fun).

I want to improve my work, I would love to do work like this as a job.  And I need you.  And in the same way you need me.

So thank you for reading this.  If you have any comments please feel free to comment :)
