Time to move on

1 min read

So, what a year, huh? With all that's been happening, a few changes were expected to come, and amongst the rest I've come to the realization that DeviantArt is simply no longer a place for me.


So here's what I'm going to do: I'm making this journal not only for saying goodbye to this website, but to leave some links to my other platforms as well, in case any of you still wants to follow me elsewhere, in which case you'll always be welcomed <3


That said, this account has been a pretty long part of my artistic life, which I don't regret, but it's now time to move on. Goodbye everyone, thanks for being here, for however long or short time, or even simply passing by.

Have a nice day :)

Well hello agaiWHAT DO YOU MEAN MY LAST JOURNAL ENTRY WAS OVER THREE YEARS AGO??
... my, am I bad at this.

Well, to start off I apologize for the lack of proper life updates (other than the bits and pieces I write in some deviations description). To be fair I had a streak of bad moments and big changes hit me these past three years: for starter, the art school I went to completely absorbed the vast majority of my time (no regrets, I think it was worth it), and even now that I finally finished it and graduated I'm still awful at time management.
Second thing, sadly my depression and anxiety came back with full force a couple years ago: it was the worst mental state I've been in in my whole life, and for a long time I was on very, very thin ice. I won't bore you with the details, just know that I got the help I needed, got the right meds, support and even if I'm never truly going to be healed from it at least now I'm more well equipped to fight it, and I'm not alone :)

Talking about art, now that I'm done with my studies I'm slowly setting up a career in this field. It's difficult and slow, but I've managed to get a couple of very small publications, and I officially opened commissions a while ago so, slowly but steadily, I'm moving forward as a freelance illustrator :D

Oh btw, I'm now on ArtStation too, so in addition to my Facebook and Instagram you can now follow me there if you so wish :aww:

That's all for now, thanks for still being around and I'll be writing again in (hopefully) less than three years. Have a nice day!

Hi again :D

Well, hello there :) it's been over a year since my last journal, and I'm kinda sorry about it ^^'

Well, how's it going? My life shook up a little after the last four years of aphaty, and I finally decided to resume my studies: this month I'm starting a more advanced art school, more precisely in the field of illustration, and I can't wait for it :D
You may also have noticed that I tried my best at keeping my submissions on a regular schedule, both here and on my facebook page. It's not always possible, but I'm doing my best.
On an unrelated note, I recently discovered the joys of Steam sales. I could say that I'm lucky I didn't have much of a social life to begin with :')

So, what about you? Any suggestion, music, games or experience you want to share? I'm starting to be a little less shit at handling comments and interaction lately ;-P

Yeah. Well... I did it :/

So, before I get to it: how are you guys? :)
I know, it's been a bit since my last journal. So, how was your summer? Mine went quite well: I went to Rimini for a week, and I got to finally actually see Berlin, which I liked a lot! :D

Now, not much else happened, but I'm going to start getting something done here: for a start, expect at least a couple more magician themed artwork, plus new dragon art, I promise ;) there will also be more digital practice, and I hope I'll start to get used to it soon.
Plus, I'll be starting a collaboration with a friend, and do my best to portrait her own characters, though I can't say for now if I'm going to upload them: we'll see about it in the near future!

Now, on a more "serious" tone: yes, I did create a page on facebook. Meh :/ the one thing I can say on the matter, is that it's going to take a bit to get used to it.

There, I'm going to upload my best pieces, while I'll keep most of my practicing pieces on deviantART only.

So, what can I say, "shut up and post the link already"?
Ok then, here's the link to the page:

All of you are welcome there! :hug:

Dead again?

HAHAHAHAHA... no.

You know, when I promised you that I would come back uploading, I didn't consider how much lazy (and totally not organized) I am. But still, I managed to get some pages done.

So, where are the so long awaited comic pages, you may ask.
Well... I had a little (and I literally mean "little") problem. After much work, long nights passed while drawing and inking, I stumbled upon a particular obstacle, the kind of problem some of you may know: my scanner is too small.

Yes, my scanner, which served me for years now, has proven to be too small even for a sheet of fabriano A4 paper. Hooray.

Well, now what, you may still be asking. The answer is simple: I can either take my work to a professional typography and scan it there, or simply buy a bigger scanner.
After a bit of thinking, I decided I'll go for a new scanner. Why is that? Well, considering the amount of traditional pictures I make, taking them to a professional would mean spending time to get there, get a proper scan and, obviously, pay for it every time. So, in the end, a new scanner will simply repay itself over time.

But why am I talking about this in such a detailed paragraph?
I'm telling you this, guys, so you know why right now I'm asking you to be a little patient: I want my pictures to have at least a decent quality, so I'm not just going to take pictures of them.

I know some of you aren't exactly dying to see my six pages comic, and to you I'm now communicating that, while I'm waiting for a new scanner, I'm going to draw a couple of tiny pictures, some of them introducing the comic's characters and maaaybe a tiny dragon or two (man I miss them...).



Now some news...

First of all, I decided (after a long, long thinking) to try and learn to use some digital medias. I just started going to a short class about Photoshop, and in the near future I'll start experimenting with it and maybe posting the best results.

About unbelievable decisions: I'm in the process of creating my own (ugh...) facebook page...
Yyeeaahh... I don't like the idea, and I don't like facebook either (and by that I mean not a single bit), but in the last months, I realized that most people (or, at least, most of the ones I spoke to) tend to consider facebook almost more professional than an official website, so it seems that I'm going to create a page (but not a personal account. Just no). Anyway, I'll post the link here once it will be open. Just know that it won't take the place of dA, and that I'm still going to submit my stuff here ;)



So, stay tuned in the next days for the tiny drawings and, hopefully, the complete six pages black and white comic "Gorgon's Eye" :la:

Thanks for your patience, I promise it'll be repaid :hug:
