Yeah... just what it says on the title :D

I am sorry to those of you who didn't like the idea, but... It's been 13 years and the truth is, I'm not the same person who I was back then, well... in a way I still am :) but as time went by I've grown and learned so much that I've slowly transformed into someone else, someone who no longer fits the identity of the person who joined this site 13 years ago.

None of us stay the same all our lives, we all change with time and that's ok :) I am not changing accounts because I feel uncomfortable or anything (quite the contrary! I have nothing but good memories here!), but because I carve a fresh, new start; I carve change! So that's what I'm going to do ;) 

Here's my new account : :iconindigodeoxys: IndigoDeoxys

It's like starting a New Game+ after you finish the main story :D 
I'll be adding everyone again from that account, you know how forgetful I can be so if I forgot someone please let me know.

I'm not deleting this ol' account, but I won't posti anything new on this one anymore,  I will also be disabling comments on my deviations after a few weeks, and I will be making a new journal shortly after this one saying something along the lines of "this account is closed! You can find me here now".

Ok, now that that's settled, I'll be off now.
See you guys soon!

I'm still having complex confusional migraines, but I'm getting used to them :p
I'm taking meds to make them less... uh.. distracting, so now they don't stop me from getting things done.

Weird thing is... I think they may have messed up my head permanentely, I feel like my reaction time is slower than it used to be (or maybe I'm just getting old...), and I had to re-learn how to drive because I lost all the instinctive/ automated movements I had before. I have some issues with my short term memory too, and I've experienced lost time... but somehow, my long term memory has improved! The brain is weird, man...

*~ EDIT 2 ~*
We are all ok!
The earthquakes happened further south from where we live, and our family members (pets included) that did live there only had to deal with a few broken windows. Still... it was pretty bad, we're all doing what we can to donate to reconstruction efforts and disaster relief teams.

Holy crap it's been so long!!
I sort of forgot my password and I just got it back 5 minutes ago lol :p
And I'm sorry to say this, but I haven't really drawn anything for a while... and the reason is: Confusional migraines... maybe... the neuro isn't sure if they're migraines yet, they could also be friggin' partial seizures, but the only thing he is sure of is that my EEG is abnormal and that I'm not making this up... like my shrink used to think  >:[

That's what my stupid brain has been up to for the past couple of YEARS! But I didn't know what it was until last week.
It is terrifying... I'll spare you the details, but they tend to distrort your sence of reality, that may be why my drawings have  taken a turn for the worst... they barely make sence anymore and I have been struggling to get back on track.

In fact I am not sure if I would be posting anything for a while... it's really not worth seeing, and I am too embarassed to post anything. I know I owe art to a lot of people (I haven't forgotten) but I just can't bring myself to do it yet.
I'll keep practicing but only time will tell if I ever make something worth showing again.
In fact, I have been thinking of closing this account for good and starting a new one, things have gotten a bit out of controll... I had 3,000 + messages on my inbox and there is no way I can keep track of that. 

I am sorry, I know this souns like layzness or excuses, but circumstances have changed, and I need to change with them if I want to keep doing this. (Which I do! I miss a lot of people here! You know who you are)

I'm taking a break from everything today, or else I'm gonna go insane.
And I wanted to use this opportunity to announce that this page is probably going to get a major reeboot in the near future. I mean, come on! it was long overdue! I've had it for 10 years and it hasn't changed too much, there are things in it that I am embarassed of!

So it begins with a major cleanup of both my gallery and my favourites, I won't delete gifts I've made for friends or art trades but I will put everything I did before 2012 in a separate folder called "old stuff".

There will also be some major changes in some of my characters, people change over time so it is also natural for the beings we use to represent ourselves in art or on the internet to change as well. 

You know I like lists so I'm gonna make a few just to give you a heads-up (and to hellp me keep track of what I have to do because my brain isn't wired to remember things on its own...)

Changes in page layout/ favourites, etc.

:bulletgreen: Change username, avatar and signature
:bulletblue: Make journals less ranty/ pessimistic (if I need to vent I'll do it elsewhere)
:bulletpurple: Close requests, art trades for friends only

Changes in art:

:bulletred: GET OFF YOUR LAZY BUTT AND FINISH EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF ART YOU OWE!
:bulletorange: Experiment with using different media such as watercolor, pencil and pastel.
:bulletyellow: Improve lineart skills, don't rely on color too much
:bulletgreen: Stop using a ballpoint pen for shading! 
:bulletblue: Experiment with different art styles, don't just stick with the same old one.

Changes to characters/ personas/ avatars:

:bulletgreen: White Eye will be getting a major reeboot

Why? First: because there was something I didn't consider when I first came up with her: cultural appropiation. Some things about her were somewhat disrespectful to Native American cultures, and that is the last thing I want such an important character to be. She will still be partially influenced by the Yoemen (Yaqui) stories my dad used to tell me when I was little, but overall, she will cease to be something that steals from other cultures. I am sure not all of you will agree with this but this is a desicion I didn't come up with on a whim, I did my homework and talked to people, and made my desicion based on what I learned.

Second: People change over time and so have I, and I don't feel as strongly connected to the character as I once used to so she will be changing with me. I also realized that, as a fantasy character, I can do whatever I want with her design so I am going for something a bit more daring than a white eyed grulla ;) I'm still playing around with her desing and story but you can see a sneak preview here 


:bulletyellow: I'm retiring some of my characters.
I really don't think I can work with some of them anymore, they are just trapped in limbo, just "existing" but never changing or interacting with anything, so I thought it was better to let them go. I still don't want to get rid of them because who knows? I may still be able to do somethin with them, so I put them into a "retired character" folder for now.

:bulletgreen: Grey the Hound will be modified, too.
No major plot or design changes for this one but the color of her her mohawk and her clothes will change depending on the situation or her mood, which I think will also hellp reflect her unpredictable and crazy nature.

:bulletblue: Changing Antare's wings.
:bulletpurple: Changing my "main" Pokemon RP character.
I no longer feel a strong connection to Fang the Treecko, but I did develop a very VERY strong connection to another Pokemon and I find it easier to RP with that one, so I decided to design a character based on that connection instead of trying to stick with one that I no longer identify with. I may upload a reference for that other character later on.

So, in conclussion:
I haven't really been neglecting art as much as I should (especially with all this thesist business around) because I simply can't :P 
And it is only a matter of time before I come back here with a vengance.

That rabbits can't stick their tongues out in the middle of their mouths?
They stick it out sideways, like this:



Its because their teeth get in the way xD
They can only stick it out in the middle when they are young, before their teeth grow too much.



... Yeah.
I'm trying to write a thesis right now, I don't even have time to think.
Imma do a Master's I said... Its gonna be awesome, I said... :no:
Thank you so much for your patience guys, it shouldn't be long before I wake this thing up from hibernation.

FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO THANK EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU FOR ALL OF THE BIRTHDAY/CHRISTMAS/NEW YEAR COMMENTS!
THANK
YOU
SO
MUCH!



HearseGurl 13black-light-dragon , little-angel-girl80 , PeziCreation (really loved the cute dragon with the sign, too!) TheRejectPhoenix , OrionTHedgehog  and everyone else who commented and didn't get a reply THANK YOU.
I really mean it! 

I haven't replied because I got more than 2000 messages in my inbox and that number just makes me want to go away and never come back, it's not that I don't want to (well... it is a bit because I don't want to...) but because I don't have much time in my hands right now...

Contrary to popular belief this page is not dead.
It's just hibernating but once this year is over it will (hopefully) be back to it's former self!

... hopefully

So there are several reasons for this, one of them is that mentally and physically I'm not doing well, it's the worst I've been in years but it's nothing I can't handle, I'm tougher than I seem, I'll survive.
Another reason is work... lab reports, welfare assessments and assignments EVERYWHERE! so the only chance I have to draw anything is during lectures and it never goes beyond a tiny pen sketch.

Other than that everything is going great! my gades haven't dropped as much as I thought they would and life in Scotland is everything I hoped it would be :) I'm literarily living my dream.

But what they never tell you about dreams is that they require a LOT of effort, sometimes it hurts, sometimes it kicks your butt untill you feel like you can't do this anymore but that's the way it is, you should never expect it to be easy, if you want a happy ending you need to fight for it with all you've got and that's what I'm trying to do here. 
I hate sounding like a cheap motivational speaker but if I can do it then so can you, I'm nothing special really.

So, yeah, that's why I haven't been around much. I'm usually more active on Tumblr because it takes less time to interact with things than in most websites. You can find my main blog HERE and the blog where I eat weird things for the entretainment of complete strangers on the internet HERE so if any of you have a Tumblr we can keep in touch through there. 

Also:

:bulletred: I DID IT! I GOT INKED! it's still healing so it will still be a while before I show it to you ;) but it shouldn't be long now.

:bulletorange: I got catcalled the other day and didn't notice untill a friend told me :I 
Goes to show how socially inept I am lol.

:bulletyellow: Over the Garden Wall, man!! OVER THE GARDEN WALL!!! :iconranaplz:

Send yours! ;)

:bulletpurple: Thanx for reading this, see you later!
