Note Me |



I have been so busy for the past few months, I have been sick, on vacation, and have been studying very hard. On top of that I am doing my very best to finish my commissions as quickly as I can. I have cut down on all my internet and social media, since my commissioners are my top priority. Hence I have not been very active on dA lately. Even so, I missed you all very much, and I was looking forward to the time when I could come back, post art and talk with you all.

However, deviantArt has been making many changes, arguably making things worse rather than better. I am sorry to say I can no longer afford Premium...or "Core" membership...I am sure I'm not the only one. I have friends who were hopefully saving up to gain premium membership, only to be disappointed by the turn of events.
The prices have pretty much doubled, and it offers no new features at all. I won't rant about how bad it is too much, since many others already have.

But I don't see much point in staying on dA when the staff obviously don't care about the artists who use their site. If nothing changes, I will most likely deactivate after I have finished all owed art trades and commissions.

I haven't decided anything yet, so I'll make another journal if I make a final decision ^^
If I eventually deactivate, I will move my activity to tumblr~
Commissions and art trades should be done within the month ♥

I'm there for ..only 7 months... And i'm feeling so bad... To be so young on this awesome site... It seriously became all my life... And being just a new member makes me feel really sad...
I didnt have money for buying PM, I wont have money for buying Core.
But... I still wanna stay on Deviantart. Because, there are a lot of bad things, but the community is awesome, and I'm sure we can do something. It's not the end...

I actually already made a tumblr before this mess even happened, since majority of my friends already left, and I was hesitant on leaving, but after I saw this I'm kinda ready to just go on
But at the same time tumblr is such a difficult site for artists, I think I'm just gonna leave this account inactive while my tumblr and IG will have most of my art
I also have friends there too so I think it wont be a hard transaction 
Ugh dA wh y

It would be sad to see you go, but I can honestly say I understand why.
I was considering leaving as well due to the current situation going on with everything, but in all honesty I want to find a site similar to deviantart's layout (premium, page widgit/editing, watchers, groups, etc.), but without its crappy staff.
But I wish you the best and good luck~♥

I might leave too but being an artist in tumblr is hard to me QAQ 
browsing the artwork there is quite hard especial if the artists reblogs a lot of things making the feedback page too much.
Except if they made an account for art and the other for reblogs but they are less to be honest.

DA has dissapoint many I wish they were more art websites like DA except NO DEVIANT IN THE ART QAQ

Uwahh I know how you feel ; - ;
Tumblr is very random at best. Some of my art will get 1-2 notes, and others will get hundreds, it's pretty strange!

NamineLee In reply to Cerosuu [2015-08-04 16:05:59 +0000 UTC]

Yes, but they say you'll very slowly get more notes ;;
But I really don't know how it works. 
Rebloging for me is pretty weird because I have no followers nor friends that has a tumblr account.

It'd be sad to see you go :<
I'll stay anyway, myself. Because my art isn't that great for other sites, and here on DA there are lots of people of my skill so it seems like a place for everyone. And DA seems more communicative than, for example, tumblr.

I think your art is lovely ; w ;
I will stay active on dA for now, but I've been here so long now, and I do really miss the old dA. Back then it seemed like the staff listened and cared for the users, and the community was more positive in general. I'm hoping dA starts changing for the better in the future though ^^

nanarini In reply to Cerosuu [2015-08-04 17:47:54 +0000 UTC]

Awwwww, thank you if you really think so of my art! but I still don't XD
I do hope so too. Even if the staff doesn't listen though, the site structure seems more... welcoming to me.

Aw...I would really miss you if you left. Your artwork is so nice! I guess I can't relate since I am not a paying member anyway, but I don't want to sign up for more sites, so...It would make me really sad to see you go.

Cerosuu In reply to SheiaLyn [2015-08-04 15:29:09 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! ^^ I will still have my art tumblr and twitter, which I will remain active on!
I haven't decided firmly on leaving yet, and I will most likely try and fork out enough money for a core membership so I can continue to be active, at least for now. But it's expensive, and it will be a real struggle ;__;

SheiaLyn In reply to Cerosuu [2015-08-04 17:21:59 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. I'd understand if you had to go. Money struggles are so real. >.< I just don't have a Twitter or a Tumblr, so...

Due to these terrible changes they have made to Deviantart, driving many great artists away, i'm afraid that maybe at one point (undecided), that I may be driven away from this site as well ... Especially I see people already saying they want their Premium(Core) Membership canceled.  But I have to get requests, commissions and other things done before deciding...

I also think that I also don't want to waste $50 on Core Membership, my mother probably wouldn't be so happy about that.

Other sites i'm available on is Pixiv and FA. I loved DA before the terrible and unoriginal changes came along.

I had to cancel my billing because I can't afford the new prices ; - ; It was hard enough to afford the old prices for me...
I've been on dA for years, and I used to love it here, but that feeling is going away, it makes me sad that the newer members won't get to experience what dA once was

Arty-Buu-Chan In reply to Cerosuu [2015-09-14 01:57:54 +0000 UTC]

Hopefully for all of us who don't want to deal with the billing would have it off . I see... As it appears for me, I only been here for 2 years when it feels like 3, this place was just fine before the Core thing came along, the new members will never get to see those dark teal stars and.... I don't even remember what the Beta Tester symbol looked like anymore, something similar?! X(

Sorry for the late reply!

I might leave too... Witch is sad cause I LOVE DA, but If I can't afford a *cough*core *cough* i'll probably make the move to Tumblr, where I will follow you~ or possable this site www.nabyn.net/ as it looks promising ^-^

I'll give them to the end of this year though before I deside:/

We can only hope ;-; Cause I don't think anyone is for the price raise. or the design choice for Core, but we can deal with that.
