Description

Careful watchers that have followed me for years have probably noticed my gallery on here is gone. Over 1100 works, 20 years of work. In storage for now, and will be deleted once I figure out how to archive it.

Why?

deviantART, a site built by artists, for artists, is no longer a safe place for the very creators that made the site what it is today. AI images (I won't dare call this "art") flood the front page, and the site's own creators flaunt this, showcasing people who have made five or even six digit figures off of what is essentially art theft, while so many of us, myself included, struggle to get our own work noticed.

It's a slap in the face for so many of us who worked hard over the years to make a space for ourselves and our work here. Our portfolios are being sampled by the second, and thieves are profiting over our hard work we've poured our very hearts and souls into.

dA does not care, has not cared, has not listened to the outcry from the community. I will never upload my works here again.
