Decided to delete more journals now. I also changed my avatar and removed some stuff in my profile info widget... in preparation for my big change in focus that is soon to come. Don't ask me what that is though, I'm keeping it secret for now.
A few (very) last words...
I wrote in my last journal that I was considering about quitting making gts art. I've now come to the decision that I will still be doing it. But since 2021 and onwards, I'll be doing it in my own way, not following what's common practice/interest, and so on. I also won't be doing as much of it because I want to rebuild my interest for storywriting more. Secondly, I'm also thinking about asking for a number of my old pics submitted to the VG/AC GTS worlds sites to be taken down. I know the sites are no longer being updated, I just don't want those pics on there anymore. I should've asked about it sooner, but I wasn't feeling exactly wise at the time... in the mean time, I'll be compiling a list of the drawings that I no longer want on there. What's been captured by the internet archive I can't do anything about, but for the sites still online I think something could be done. It's been nearly half a year since I started my Pixiv, and I think now that I've posted the stuff I want to be
A few last thoughts...
Well, if anybody would care, I've given myself some time to collect my thoughts about things... First thing, It's been about 4 years since the VG/AC GTS worlds sites became inactive, and one of the best things about that is I no longer have any deadlines to follow when it comes to submitting stuff. Although there were times when I didn't even meet all of them, partly because I got sidetracked with other things very easily. Second, I've just seen a comment on one of Cubed's previous journal entries about whether he should find someone else to run the sites. While it's not my call, I feel that the sites have seen their heyday. I remember my times of contributing to them very fondly, but now that it's been nearly half a decade since they became inactive I think they should remain inactive. I've since moved on, but if the sites do become active again under a different owner, then I would ask for a number of my previous drawings to be taken down because I've since changed my way of
So, what next?...
Well, ever since I came to notice a couple of my old deviations were removed at the start of february this year I came to feel a bit alarmed that my account was probably gonna be further diminished at the mercy of dA's non-intelligent bots, or in the worst case taken down. I've since realized that it was probably just an random individual who happened to look at my pictures and reported only four Sonic-related pics. Yes, you read that right. Only FOUR of them were taken down. Still, I'm no longer taking any chances in believing my account to be safe for much longer if things are left as is. That's why I've started preparing myself to save the pages for all my deviations still remaining, mostly for safe keeping just in case. Due to (apparently) some people's ever-frequent worries about the contents of my older art, I'll be taking a look at my older drawings (GTS ones particularly) and see if I can tone down certain details. I already have made alterations to some of them, so it's only
Time to finally call it quits??
So, I've read couple journals where artists, especially those who're drawing GTS stuff, have had certain deviations deleted, and in worst case their entire account deleted for "Violating policies.". I've been lucky enough to be unaffected for a very long time... Not anymore it seems! Apparently their tools for detecting NSFW artworks are yet again doing a terrible job. So far only three of my deviations from 2017 have been removed, and the contents are definitely NOT NSFW in any way. Either their tools are going wonky again, or some strange person has decided to flag some of my pics for seemingly no reason. I'm leaning towards the former though. Whichever way it is, this has made me realize it perhaps is time for me to leave this site behind and look elsewhere, especially if things are going to continue this way. I'll be looking through all my deviations and copy their descriptions for safe keeping, if any, because you'll never know when the next batch of deletions are gonna
