Ever since DeviantArt changed its name symbols, they've become far more apparent.
So when I took a quick scroll through my message center today I noticed there sure where a lot of senior members that messaged me since the last time I checked. Took me a while to notice that it was actually my username that had the icon -- and that name sure is all over the place in my own message center (for those that are wondering; I wasn't fully awake yet).
Seems like I've been awarded senior membership!
Which is, according to descriptions, something more or less similar to winning a community award. In the sense that you can't buy one and the only way to get one is to get awarded one by DeviantArt.
The reasons of why I got such an award are pretty much shrouded in mystery (and that's for a reason, for as far as I could understand).
But to all who suggested or supported me; thanks a lot!
It's great getting so much positive feedback from the community.
(I still have to get used to the new icon, though. I've had the beta icon for 3 years and I'm a creature of habit XD)

I'm still alive
It's been a while since I last posted and people have sending me worried messages, so I wanted to let you all know I'm doing fine. I don't have corona and I'm not dead. My computer broke down a while ago, and the consistent problems of working with a broken system and not having the money to properly fix or replace it eventually made me very demotivated to draw. As an artist I've always suffered from self-doubt and massive imposter syndrome. No matter how good I get, I'm always critical at my work. The last batch of commissions I did (even though for a good cause) just emphasized that feeling of not being creatively ready to venture into professional spheres. I honestly respect the people who do, but it's not for me. The pressure of having to churn out quality work on a time limit (next to my regular work) burned me out, and I needed some time off the internet to recuperate. Thank you all for your supportive messages. I'm trying to pick up my art again. Slowly, and working on my
Emergency commissions for vet bills [ON HOLD]
Update April 23, 2020
I'm literally blown away by all the response I got.
I have now filled up a first batch of commissions.
As much as will help me cover the initial bill. And as much as will be possible to deliver, considering I have to do those drawings in my free time (I have a regular job to attend as well).
I expect to deliver commissions somewhere over the upcoming 6 weeks.
Depending on the situation with the cat I might open up more commissions in the future.

Hey guys.
My beloved cat, Pepper, fell sick. I had to go take her to the vet. It's at this moment yet uncertain what's wrong with her, but she needed to get b
Git gud
It's so tiring to hear people dismiss the ability to create art as sheer talent, and tell me they could never do the same as I do. What do you expect me to answer? That some divine being came down and blessed me with the ability to do art? And you haven't got that divine skill, so you never could do it, and we should all pity you for it?
The truth is that there isn't much of a difference, except that I spend a lot of time creating art. I learned how to draw hands, because I've drawn hundreds of them over the last couple of years. I learned writing because I write nearly every day, and read books when I don't. I spend a lot of time creating a
