So there's been a tiny bit of activity on my part here after some months of silence since I made this account. Here's the news.
I made the account in a moment of frustration with the pending changes on DA, but since those changes were still in the vague future, I postponed getting to know this place - and admittedly, it felt quite confusing at first, a whole new site, buuuut since it got a bit of redesign, it seems easier now (NOT like DA). Since now DA is being finally overhauled and is going to become this ArtStation-rip-off data-harvesting nightmare machine known as E(ww)clipse, I have an occasion, after circling in the air above FA for months, to finally touch down and settle a bit of my own den here. Besides, some paranoia has been chasing me, I never know anymore whether DA won't ban me for being so shrewd-mouthed, so duplicating the art part of my gallery here will be a valuable backup, you know, just in case. I say that because.... I don't know, before getting to know the place it's difficult to tell, but for the longest time I felt like my art would be.... kinda out of place here. I still do, partially, and that makes it difficult to take the leap. I'm shier than you know. But having a backup place is an incentive enough. That said, the last few days I have been wandering around, getting to know what stuff is like here, and even going after some favourite artists from DA to try find if they have accounts here. A pleasantly surprising lot of them do - serious, skilled and masterful artists that I look up to very much. That gives me more confidence that I, too, can find a place here.
So that's that. I'll be putting up my entire art gallery on FA as well (minus photography, that's just too huge). Because I am so OCD, I want to post things here roughly in the same order they have been posted originally, so I have been going through my DA gallery all the way back to 2010, marking dates so that I can arrange things correctly here. It will take some time. That's 10 years of art, drawing, painting, design, writing, and even poetry. I hope you stay patient with the older crappier works, but I want to have the whole history here as well. It gets more interesting later, I promise.
On a side note, it's actually fun here. I'm learning interesting things about artists I've admired for years.... and I'd lie if I say it isn't nice :D

FA+

Actually looking at that helped me understand how the system works here.
Strangely, but it seems perhaps somehow more neatly organized than DA.
The layout is simple and pleasing to me, and i hope it keeps this way, feels pretty cozy even.
I understand wanting to put your drawings by order, im gonna do this too with my secondary account! I always like keeping things more organized in a way too.
I hope you enjoy it here, despite of some weirdness and lots of porn i feel pretty nice here XD
And ha! I discovered I don't mind the porn as much. It's even fun to see how obsessed people are with it XD
Besides, there is actually nice stuff, here and there.
Same, some things i even find interesting and curious to think of..many times im like "why people into this so much?" ahahaha its funny how some people only got porn on their galleries
Indeed, i have my share of favs on dragon butts lol XD (and wanna draw more in the future too)
Heheheh. I get back incentive to draw dragon anatomy lately :3
It will take some time, but I already have sort of arranged the order, just gotta get it going. Also, I already made the future gallery structure.
Yes, and I really like how it's organized here. What DA always lacked was an overview of the whole gallery folder hierarchy tree, I like that on FA and that it's always visible. Helps to stay orientated.
