Aww cheers mate. I'm not gone anywhere, just feel kinda directionless atm. As you can probably tell by my response time, I haven't been on dA in ages. I still don't really know what to even do with this site atm.
I'm in a similar boat. Kinda wish I had the experience to create my own website for artists and writers cause I feel like I could do dA better than what they did to themselves.
