DeviantArt, We Need to Talk
I don't know what the hell's been going on with you lately, but we've had an on-again, off-again relationship for as long as I've known digital art. Thanks to you, I've met some of my best friends here and made a lot of memories; and due to the dedication to the craft I've met a lot of wonderful people who have helped me along with my style.
Now, you're a shallow husk of what you used to be. I know it sounds hypocritical, but you started going downhill when adoptables became the most prominent feature in your galleries, and made even worse by the growing number of fetish artists. Then to top it all off, you added AI art to your platform, which combined with the other two points just made DeviantArt a breeding ground for manufactured "characters" if you can even fucking call them that; with no personality, no story to tell... No life.
I came to DeviantArt for the stories and the characters. Yes, I follow some artists who do a lot of NSFW stuff, but they still have some of their personality. I'm losing all faith in DeviantArt becoming a legitimate platform for art, and that may be part of the reason why I'm losing faith in myself as an artist.
I hope your fucking happy.

Announcement!
Hey, guys! I just want to announce that I am finally taking commissions and art trades! I know I have a backlog of requests, but I am unfortunately in a position where I can't do art for free. I will, however, try to keep my prices as cheap as possible for you guys. All I ask is before you decide to request a commission or art trade that you read my guidelines, and remember that I reserve that right to refuse a request for any reason. If you have any questions, or you're interested in requesting a commission or art trade; just message me.

Having said that, some guidelines:
1. Preferred to fit in the fantasy/steampunk aesthetic I seem to have going on for myself.
2. Can be an anthro/furry, but nothing too crazy.
3. Not to have an abundance of colors. A single main color with two sub colors will do just fine.
4. Do not submit art of your own! This isn't meant to be a contest; I'm looking to bounce ideas off of people.
5. Ideas I like will definitely be credited!
If you can think of anything, let me know. I've been scratching my head on this for a bit.
