Absence
Yes it is true that I have been avoiding DA, mostly because I haven't the will to draw the sparkle dragons most everyone expects with a violent need from me, and to which there seems to be an endless line of just completely rude people with a superiority complex who want to tell you that you are wrong and try to spend every word that comes out of their mouths to belittle you just to make themselves feel better. I don't sugar coat my responces to save your feelings if you don't consider mine.I'll likely not ever really leave this site, but I doubt that I will be as active as I used to be.
I want to point out that some people are assuming that because I am absent from DA that I am so butthurt that I will stop drawing because of the attitude problem DA has. This is completely untrue. Drawing is my passion, and the attitudes just makes me not want to be a part of this site!On a better note
One of my friends is really tight on money and she needs to get commissions to cover her family!
So please go help her out!
I have also been thinking of maybe doing some form of kiriban like thing for the 1 mil pv

It feels like this site gets worse with every day. They have gotten seriously persistent when they want to hurt you on here, and I don't think too many people understand just how bothersome and hurtful it becomes after so much of it over long periods of time. For me, it got to the point where the association of my account name preceeded everything, especially my art, and hurtful comments were just coming from strangers looking to have some fun *challenging what they deem to be a popular artist* it's almost as if it's a new game these days.
I know saying "ignore them" doesn't make you feel better, I know it didn't help for me. Back in the day, they would just drop it if you don't respond, but in the last year or so, they've gotten so aggressive when you ignore them, it's almost better to just respond.
I hate to suggest switching to a new account like Valixy and I did, but when strangers don't automatically think you're popular, a lot of those angry princess comments and jealousy rants go away. (not all of them unfortunately) but a good amount of them.
Also, I know what you mean about watchers pressuring for moar sparkle dragons (lol they note me with "if ur not posting dragons im unwatching uz") It sucks, but don't let it influence what you really want to draw. Draw for you, not them. Personally, I LOVE your people, creatures, and backgrounds. I'd be totally honored to see more of them.
Whatever you choose, I hope it still means that I get to see your amazing and increasing skill. Many *hugz* for you, since you really deserve them ♥
Sorry. They added a drawing program, I had to. They're very nice sparkle dragons.
Seriously, don't let DA trolls bring you down. Trolls get everywhere and there's not much for it but to ignore them.

I've been writing fics off and on for 12 years now and I've realized that people can get, uhm, VERY nasty and vindictive if you stop writing a fic or switch fandoms or just write something they don't approve of, especially if they were once fans. And yea, it does hurt, even if it's a total stranger. At least, that's the impression I'm getting from what you're talking about here, right?
But yea, can't say much. Just love your art. Keeping doing what makes you happy. Try not to let them get to you. I've learned to just delete those comments/emails/reviews and keep going. I can't keep doing something that doesn't interest me anymore just because some arrogant upstart halfway across the country likes my work and therefore expects me to keep working for them.

Don't let them get you down ok and keep your chin up
The internet can really turn people into awful beings because they don't have to own up to their actions.
Have a great break. I look forward to your next post with delighted anticipation!
Thank You,
Sincerely,
