Starting over?
2 years ago
General
So, I want to start over with this account to an extent. I just feel stuck, and a somewhat fresh start might be what I need.
But how far do I go back? I originally wanted to go back to Cheekers being his original mouse self and pretend that a lot of what happened didn't exist, but... that's a lot of artwork to delete, much to the dismay of some of my friends I've run this past.
While I'm alright with deleting things (I mean, I still have the files and can repost them if this doesn't work out) but both of my friends don't understand why I'd want to delete anything in the first place. We just have different points of view when it comes to this stuff. I just think I'm cleaning up my account of clutter, both friends didn't want me to delete anything. One just liked my art anyways, and the other suggested it's a part of my history as an artist, and I should keep it around.
I had other ideas, like just dropping Cheekers and going back to one of my older characters, and I can just hop back onto my old account and just leave this one to rot without touching any of my art... but that's because this account's name is too Cheekers-centric for me to be anyone else... I mean, I left that account to get a fresh start, and going back to my old one is kind of the reverse of that... and the exact opposite of what I'm wanting.
I'm still going to think about this, but I'm probably going to do nothing and just go on once I can get back in the groove...

If people really like my art enough that they object to me deleting it, I can always repost it to my original/archival account, that way this account can be cleaned up, and people can still look at my other stuff if they really want to.
What I did was move everything prior to a big cutoff point into my scraps -- it cleans up the gallery without losing anything. But good luck with whatever you do choose!
Before I delete anything, I'll repost it on my original account to archive them. I'm able to clean up the account, while people can still see those arts, just in a different place.
Like I said, I'm still thinking about it.
Ultimately, still undecided on what I should do, but at least I thought of a compromise.
