Some of you saw this coming...

And, well, I suppose I'm sorry for dragging it out.
I've really been fart-arsing about with this too long - I will no longer be uploading images to this gallery. Reality is, I don't see the point. My drive to create furry art has fizzled out and I just don't really care too much anymore. I have an art tumblr, but it's all ponies so I doubt you'd care. I will be leaving my gallery up - I mean, some of this crap still gets comments/faves so I see no reason to take it down.
This isn't just about FurAffinity - for the last year I have been drifting away from furries. No one's fault, I just have less interest in this fandom.
If, for whatever reason, you think you'd like to keep in touch I have changed my Twitter name, you can now find me here: https://twitter.com/RainbirdArt
My art is now posted to http://rainbirdart.tumblr.com/ - this is a multi-fandom blog.
If you want to see the pony things I do with or for my friends, I still upload to my MLP tumblr semi-regularly: http://little-rainbird.tumblr.com/
The difference is just the dash in the url.
If I ever do furry art again, it'll be there, not here. I have met some really cool people through this community, but I'd rather focus on the cool people than the fandom I've lost interest in.
I'm sure someone will make a 'leaving fandom forever, brb' joke, so allow me to make it first and ruin your fun.
Toodles.

Edit: Yeeeeeeah, that's a lot of goodbyes. I'll just add this here - I still like you all very much, I just no longer feel the fandom is for me. I want to be me first, and have interests after that. I suppose, due to my interest in anthro art, I'm still a furry... I just don't want to be a fanatic and I don't want the drama. I don't want it to be such a huge part of my life, because I feel I was letting it define me too much. I am very flattered that you all care. I'm going to stop replying on here now. Catch me on twitter or tumblr if you need me.
Thank you to everyone who wishes me well - I wish you all the very best.

I am, however, very flattered that you want to continue to follow my nonsense :} I look forward to boring you on other sites now, instead of this one ;D
Anyway, I hope that this doesn't mean that you have to withdraw from friends within the fandom - I miss hanging out with you and Sirukie, and I hope we can hang out again some time.
As for withdrawing from people I know, I really worry I've already done that, though it was not intentional or desired. Matt and I were just talking about how we missed you a few nights ago. Maybe we'll have another drink night... Not a furry meet, just spend time with friends. Because, as I keep stressing, I still adore the people this fandom has let me meet. I just feel that I was letting it take control of my life... I want to be Rain first, a furry/brony second.
I mean, I'm still the same person - I'm just the person before the owl.
There are many pony fans here, you know. I'm not one of them, but I'm sure many people would like to see it. Just saying :)
And I'm aware there are pony fans here, but there are also those quite adamantly opposed to ponies for whatever reason... And, if I wanted a gallery for my pony art, I'm sure there are pony art sites, too. But it makes more sense to me personally to keep it to my tumblr, which is part of 'Tumblrpon,' the tumblr pony community... Keep it where it's most wanted and where those who want to find it can find it with ease. I just want to try to ruffle as few feathers as possible, I suppose. I really am quite done with silly drama.
Thanks for the well-wishes :}
Good luck there :)
I still really adore Muchi and Bonnie as characters... I won't rule out the possibility I will draw them again some day... But I've been drawing furries for years, I feel burnt out and like I'm not growing. They'll likely pop up in the future when I miss them again.
I have lot of other interests that I have neglected for too long and seem to be doing quite well in.
We should really catch up some time.

You could always make a new account if you feel like separating yourself from your old furry stuff. Just because you post art here doesn't mean you're a 'fanatic'. I'm primarily only here to scrape up a few commissions to pay for games and whatnot. But that's me.
Do whatever makes you happy.

Nooooo. :c
Also thanks for leaving your art up. I don't like it when artist leave and nuke all submissions.
