My name is Brandon Vinall and I am a gamer, music lover and aspiring voice actor. I've been drawing my whole life but didn't start making digital art until middle school. When I was at my lowest, my hobby of drawing was one way of escaping the harshness of the outside world. I have Generalized Epilepsy, which means that it's things like dehydration, malnourishment, stress, or forgetting to take my meds can cause a seizure. So all throughout middle school I used video games, music, and drawing to help cope with life.





I'm mainly just a hobby artist on here. Not looking to do anything necessarily on a professional level. There was a time in my mid 20s where I thought about making some comics or something but I put that aside in exchange for me wanting to pursue YouTube and Voice Acting instead. I tend to draw heavier set characters. Why? Even I'm not 100% sure. I think it has to do with a lot of my characters in fictional media being heavier set such as King Dedede, Bowser, Champa, etc. I use this site as a way to express myself in ways I don't on other platforms and I'm grateful to be here.

It's Hard Saying Goodbye To DeviantArt... (G)

2 months ago

I've been having some trouble with something and figured I'd vent about it here.

I've tried making a video for YouTube explaining the reasonings for me leaving DeviantArt but it's tough. One reason is me being confused with my "furry label" I guess. Obviously I think furries are great people or else I wouldn't have met such awesome people here online but I'm not sure how to classify myself. I have original characters but I don't have a specific fursona. So I guess I call myself a "furry artist". The reason this seems important is because I feel a need to describe the art that I made/make (Quick sidenote I hope I'm not sounding insensitive in this portion I'm just a bit confused I guess and have been for honestly a long time).

Another reason is it just feels kinda sad. Besides YouTube and here ya know DeviantArt was the first place online that I could call "home" and where I felt a great sense of community. I'd talk back and forth with other artists and it was a great time so I get kinda choked up sometimes even thinking about it. I just don't feel "safe" posting my art there anymore and the sense of community that was once there is just gone. I'm even wondering if I wanna make a video discussing it in the first place.

I like it here. I like the people here. I liked the people who were on DeviantArt and befriended me years ago. I appreciate you all. Whether or not I actually DELETE my DeviantArt is still unknown for me right now. All I know is DeviantArt is just not the same website as it once was.

Any advice on what to do? Should I make a video on why I left? I'm so torn on so much right now. A lot has been happening recently.
