My afro doesn’t define me. Even if I had straight hair, I’d still love it.
My dark skin doesn’t define me. Even if I had lighter skin, I wouldn’t be ashamed.
My weight doesn’t define me. I’d still feel great even if I was a size 4, 14, or 24.
My sexuality doesn’t define me. Whether I’m Straight, Gay, or Bisexual, I’d still would love my spouse.
You will not define me, I’ll define myself.
But just because I don’t believe these things don’t define who I am, doesn’t mean that I won’t love these things any less. :)
Leaving Deviantart, follow me elsewhere! by GalooGameLady, journal
Leaving Deviantart, follow me elsewhere!
I'm planning on leaving dA. I met my husband @CameronAugust here and have fond memories of opening commissions for the first time, joining fandoms and making friends. I really appreciate the 14 years of support from all of you! This place is not being run in a way that makes me want to stay. I will not be uploading any new art on dA from here on - please don't give me awards, Core memberships etc, since I will not be taking advantage of them. I will probably keep my account so that no one impersonates me. If you see someone else claiming to be me on Deviantart, it's not me. Finally, you can keep in touch with me and my art on these accounts that I still use: Tumblr Instagram My personal portfolio Mastodon (new!) Patreon (in a lull right now, but alive) Twitch (streaming art every blue moon) Twitter (that ship is going down soon, let's be honest) Carrd
Whelp might be leaving Da again by Grimmla, journal
Whelp might be leaving Da again
Uh well here we go again if you'd like to follow me elsewhere https://twitter.com/Grimmla1 https://www.instagram.com/grimmestla/ https://www.furaffinity.net/user/grimmla/ https://www.patreon.com/Grimmla https://www.etsy.com/shop/Grimmla A reminder that it's against my personal Tos to put my art into any sort of Ai program or art breeder site. XP not that the sort of people that do that sort of thing care, but it is what it is. I thought about dusting off my Tumblr again, but honestly I'm just kinda tired at this point. I really hate all this web 3 bull and it makes me want to curl up under a rock. This goes without saying please support real artists,
Folks, between this account and Ayvuir-Blue, I've been around on DeviantArt since... geez, practically since it first started? At LEAST since 2006, for sure. That's 16 years on this site! It's unquestionably given me a lot of my current exposure, and a LOT of people who I'm still friends with to this day met me through this site. But y'know, there comes a point where you've gotta know when a site just isn't for you anymore. This site and I have been going in divergent directions lately; I can't post a good 3/4 of the stuff I currently draw here because DevArt's content moderation has been a joke for YEARS. But I think my actual point is this bold new initiative DevArt spun up today: AI-generated art has been a hot issue lately, and opinions on it are varied. Me, I appreciate it as a fun tool for generating goofy shitposts. I have a Stable Diffusion instance on my own system that I use to create images of corn goblins, Dean Norris as the Incredible Hulk and Bowser in divorce
https://twitter.com/DeviantArt/status/1591113199218487300 If anyone is wondering where my gallery went just check this tweet here and I'm sure you'll see why I'd rather just purge everything than leave all of my stuff to be fed into an AI art generator when I don't even use the site anymore. Funny thing is that I was actually thinking about coming back to post stuff here at some point but I think this might've been the final nail in that coffin. Shame that it had to be under these circumstances that I dust this account off to say something but it is what it is

Like the many flags we fly to represent who we are, Pride Month is about celebrating the strength of our plurality, the many identities that complete us and make all of us great, and how they come together to build our common humanity.
Occurring in the same month as the Stonewall Riots (on June 28, 1969) where people were beaten simply for being who they are, Pride Month is meant to be a celebration of coming together in light

As part of our ongoing process to make the user experience cleaner and more intuitive, we've launched a new set of username symbols designed to help easily identify deviant-types.
Easily Identifiable
At a glance, the new symbols are quickly recognizable. When hovering over a username symbol, a tooltip appears, providing a brief explanation of that user's deviant-type. If clicked, a modal appears, giving a brief explanation for each username symbol, with "Learn more" links that lead to more detailed explanations.
A word from Heidi:
Over the years, a few things have come to seem like deviantART mainstays. Deviant green, intricate art categori

(Not like I was active here to begin with, but that's neither here nor there) I never thought I would make this kind of post. I loved DA but my God has this site taken a turn for the worse! The UI is atrocious and hard to manage, Groups are essentially dead, you even took away the llama for points system! Now this site has an AI generator? Even after artist time and time again told you that AI was stealing their stuff and no one wanted this? There's only so much bs a person can take! I do not, have not, and will never support AI Generated Art nor NFTs (Non-fungible tokens). I've been on this site since I was 14 and I'm 27 now. I'd actually planned to come back during the holidays and post some of my new sketches that I was doing and even thought of taking in request, but now? I'm going to take this as a sign from the universe and stay gone. I won't deactivate or anything like that. I might not even delete any of my art, since I'm quite proud of it. I just don't see any point in
So, I'm back LMFAOOOO! Tried to post my art on Twitter and Tumblr, and it was a FLOP! Humbled my ass for sure :crying: But I have been drawing more and more, so I have art for you guys! I might even open up request again later down the line. :dance: Let's see how this plays out. :la:
So, hello everyone who's still here! I'm back again. DA has...really changed hasn't it? I know it's been a while, and looking through some of my old stuff has been a journey (I'll admit, a lot is cringe-worthy,) but I'm back and I have a new outlook on art! I want to make art because it makes me feel good, and I want to share that art with y'all. I still have @NeonHoneyBee but that will be for my poems/other writings. Can't wait to go on this new art adventure (again!) See y'all around!:wave:
