My PCA Resignation
14 years ago
And yes this is an important journal so I would highly recommend reading all of this.
Remember how I was thinking about whether I should retire from the PCA? Well I've thought about it...
...And I've decided that I am going to do just that. I'm sorry to any friends who wanted me to stay, but I'm just going to retire from the PCA.
Now before anyone makes any assumptions:
This choice was not under the influence of trolls or flamers, nor was it because of the recent shift in power. It was not because of any group or single person, it is simply my own sole decision. This also NOT to be mistaken as a rage quit or leaving journal of any kind. I will still be very much active on this account.
Do I regret joining the PCA? Of course not. If it weren't for the PCA I would not have met so many great friends over the years. The PCA also provided a great stepping stone to my drawing abilities. All of the themes I drew and the trades and requests I've done for people really helped with my abilities. I just figure the characters I've made deserve a lot more freedom in terms of situations to draw them in (Don't get any wise ideas though :V).
Am I going to completely stop drawing for the PCA? Not necessarily. I still won't mind drawing other people's students or teachers, it's just me and my characters that won't be apart of the PCA anymore really.
Now this is an important bit right here, so listen up. Since I don't want to completely stop drawing some of my characters, I will be taking a select few of my students and just making them regular pokemorphs not associated with any group of any kind. What will happen to them exactly when they suddenly aren't around the academy anymore? Well let's just say they graduated or whatever. The point is they are not apart of the PCA anymore.
Anyway, the following characters who will be made regular pokemorphs are as follows:
-Xavier (Blaziken)
-Kane (Arbok)
-Katara (Pidgeot)
-Whitney (Blaziken)
-Jasmina (Bibarel)
-Alice (Lumineon)
-Adyna (Swanna)
-Trisha (Reshiram)
Anyone I didn't mention, I'm sorry to say, are just not apart of my list of active characters anymore. So these 8 pokemorphs shall now remain as my active general pokemorph characters. I'd also like to say ahead of time, Jasmina and Trisha specifically will be apart of something different, so you may not see them a lot on this page, so please deal with it.
I guess that's about it, thank you for your time. Thank you PCA for helping build the foundation of my drawing journey.

Like Crovirus has stated, i'm going to stick around to see where things go.
And despite what others may think, I feel things won't be so bad there. It should be just given a chance.
We have our own reason that is not part of that Drama scene of PCA or anything...Just of Act of our own will to choose when its time to go or not...but still enjoy drawing your character even they are not part of that community anymore...
