Wow... as of today, I have been a member of deviantArt for 7 years.

Mind you, about 5 of them don't count. I created my username a long time ago after somebody did pencil sketch copies of my art without crediting me, and I wanted to chastise them.

Then I largely forgot about the site. I had my own art site, and that's where I put my pictures. Then I stopped painting altogether for three or four years and did nothing but comics.

Then a couple of years ago I decided what the heck... maybe I'll start painting again, and put my art up here. It might gain a few new readers for my comic.

Two years and 400,000 (!) pageviews later, and my old art site has gone and this is the only place I put my pictures!

I would like to redo my art site though. Have a nice little portfolio going, feature my best works, link to all my graphic novels.

We'll see ;)

Adding a painting section to "[link]" would be neat.

I know how you feel; I stopped writing for a few years because I got down on my skills (or lack thereof) and just said "screw it!" Really regret that, since I can only improve by doing. Still looking for some semblance of the success that you've manage to pull off, though. ;)

I'm glad you came back, and that you started painting again. :)

I'm glad you started making illustrations again, as they are really beautiful.

I regret stopping, I keep thinking about how much better I'd be now if I hadn't :(

Well, you kept drawing with your comics, so you didn't regress at all. But I understand the feeling, I had to stop drawing altogether for years because of study and work, and I find the price is high.
