I've just been seized with the desire to change DA accounts. I want to associate myself and my artwork with something more orginal. I've been clearing out a lot of my old things and excess baggage from these past years of my life, and physical items are not the only things that can harbor old affiliations. My subscription is about to run out in 5 days, anyways.
I did have a prints account on this account, but I haven't sold one yet and I believe you can still sell prints with the new system they have here on DA.
On one hand, this site is great for getting your artwork out to as many people as possible, so I'd end up losing all the watchers, pageviews, and favorites I've built up.
On the other hand, as an artist I really should be more concerned with showing my art in the best way possible; hoarding favs and pageviews shouldn't be a priority.
What do you all think? Anyone have any suggestions?
I've also taken to putting a watermark on all my artwork because of past incidents with art theft. Instead of that big garish DA watermark, I've created my own logo which I then place strategically so as not to completely obstruct the view of the art. Can anyone tell what the logo is?
made me my first piece of birthday giftart ever!!!!
It's so adorable! She even captured the goofy look on Kokiri's face perfectly, along with his floppy ear. X3 Thanks so much!
Anime Expo was this weekend! I only went on Friday and Saturday, and it was quite fun. I didn't cosplay but I bought a big black wolfy tail so I wore that for most of my time there. I kept an eye out for fellow DeviantArtists, but I only ran into
while we were going in opposite directions on a crowded staircase.
I walked through the Artists Alley a few times, and did recognize some lovely prints there from DA. I'll have to reserve a table next year.
And now, some features of interesting stuff I've perused lately!

Closed minds seem to be connected to open mouths.
As for changing accounts, I've been consumed by that desire several times, but I never gave into it, because I don't see the point. I'd just be doing it to change my name. Get rid of the fandom related name and numbers divisible by 9 and get something more original. But I realize that no matter what the name is, people would still check me out if they liked what I had and I'd still check others out no matter what their names were. Really, I'd just be making a new account and have to reupload stuff and just make lots of new stuff. Too much work for me. I'm lazy. XD
I do know some people who have changed accounts. When they do, I just watch the new account. If you change accounts, I'll rewatch you. I like your stuff.

I am Pokemon #180 Flaaffy in DA's Pokemon Crew!
And as for new accounts, as you know, I recently switched mine, basically to get rid of my old art, my old name, and start fresh. I'd debated with myself about it for like, months, but in the end I got to the point where I just didn't care about pageviews and watchers and stuff anymore (not that that was ever an issue for me
Thanks for the little feature btw
