NOT HERE YOU WON'T! DON'T EXPECT GREATNESS..
I do not come to FA often. It just doesn't have the same appeal (to me) as it once did, and even then, I was forcing it to become a place for me to show my art. Yes, if I have art, I'll show it. I've been on DeviantArt much more lately; I just find managing more than one art site at a time to be a bit ...draining...
But it's been almost 10 years since I really did anything on here worth noting. I've broken off ties with a couple of people on here in those 10 years. Nothing to talk about on this site; not that important really. I blocked them and moved on.
My art as of late has really been "contrived" on my part. Making those cute girlie pics doesn't come easy anymore. You have to keep practicing. I stopped practicing when me and my art no longer became relevant. I'm not complaining, it does happen and is part of life. I must have done it for the accolades. But I also lost interest in doing those pics. I'll still do art, but my subject matter differs, and I like to use my iPad to draw. Pen and paper are just too heavy and cumbersome to lug around anymore. I know in the past I used to tout the benefits of old school drawing and painting over digital media, but I get it now, it's very convenient. Of course now I need to get a new iPad, my old one is slowing down and won't update anymore. And don't talk to me about drawing tablets like Wacom, etc. .. perhaps down the line, but these things cost money (like a new iPad) and I want to get my house remodeled very soon. So I have to make choices. (but a new iPad isn't that much considering..hmm)
But that's the state of my art as it stands.

Be as you see fit, and allow others the same blessing.
As far as switching media, it's all good. I think you could give a box of crayons to a good artist, and they'd still turn out wonderful stuff. For years I did all my photography work with just a mouse. The new iPads, and the pencil, are quite good enough for most applications given the zoom functions.
I'd love to see some of your 'new' art. I'm always interested in how artists change and grow.
Good luck on the house. ^_^
