Gallery cleanout nearly done
18 years ago
So this is what I did. :)
I sat there with my finger hovering over the remove button for a very long time. It's TOUGH deciding to wipe a gallery to next to nothing, you know that? But I did it. And once I got going . . . it felt good. :)
I couldn't do it all though. Originally I was going to take it down to JUST the KYFF recordings (I couldn't wipe those, Ice's gallery depends on them in part) and a few pictures of Tensik for references in case anyone wanted to draw him (everyone keeps character references up if they have them, after all). But there were some it was really, really tough to delete, and some I just simply couldn't, at least not yet. There was just too much between me and their players, or the piece just really meant too much to me, or marked something major, or any other reason. I actually reuploaded a couple of older ones simply because if I am going to keep a tiny record here, they belonged and I think should not have been deleted in the first place back when I first took them down. Some that I took down may surprise people, but actually some of the first ones to go were ones that were made "privately" as cheer-up pieces, or ones that the real meaning was between myself and the recipient. Taking them down, to me, made those pieces just a little more special. And there's more that I will take down, I know it, I just need to sleep on it more. :)
If I did a picture for you and it is no longer up, you are welcome to post it to your own galleries, of course, both old art and if I email you a gift. If you don't have a copy of soemthing I did for you and you'd like one, let me know by PM. If you drew ME something, can you post permission for me to put it in my gallery here if you don't mind? Beyond the little history I'll keep, I REALLY want this to be more of a showcase for my friends from now on!
New art that I do will now go up to my website, and I'll give a heads up in a journal if I post anything . . . well, worthwhile. And I'll keep the darktensik account here going as well if something is fitting for that since I don't look at it anyway, it's more of a holding bin.
So, if you are watching looking for me to post art . . . sorry. What you see, right now, is what you'll get from here on out, at least for a goodly while; maybe I'll change my mind in another year. You'll still see some great art posted here from now on, just not by my hand!
As they say, "And now for something completely different." Everyone, thanks for watching, but it's time for me to just go back to being a little lion for a while. :3 Unclick if you like.

I can't understand why removing your work would make you happy, it's something you needed to do I'm glad you feel better. :)
In any case, good luck I'll be sure to watch your journals.
And the suggestion to opt out of favs, watches and other counting mechanisms has been made a thousand times over. They're not doing it. :/
Ah heck with it, I'm known for my typos anyway. XD
I personally don't like that anyone can see what I favorite and who I watch and such (and oddly enough even though I use a rather anonymous name here), so opposite of that is an artist like yourself getting worked up over how many people watch/favorite/etc your work. It's a shame most sites like this don't allow opting out of such public systems.
Good luck finishing up your site. :)

All this stuff about people leaving is little frustrating, to be honest. I mean, lately, it has seemed like so many of the people I watch are leaving either FA or DA. I was even going to make a journal entry about it, and now you go too before I even started writing it. I wonder what is happening?? Maybe it's cause fall is setting in, I don't know.
If fame is a business, I'm getting out of the market is all. XD
it's not all it's cracked up to be. And I know I don't even have a lot compared to some people. :/
I do try and use random watchings and site hits to help guage art progress to some degree though. As such, I am almost compulsive about trying to make sure to not be getting too many hits or watches due to general publicity as opposed to it just being about the art. I like to think this at least helps keep it about my products as opposed to being about Intarweb popularity for its own sake. There are enough Deviant Art divas better known for drama than art in the world as it is.
*snuggles*
Well enjoy living a broad.
