Damn. Has it really been so long? DA used to be one of my fav places and it still an active place for me. At least for posting art. I still fav the art of others who I currently +watch, but I rarely use DA for so many of the things I used to. I can't browse for inspiration any more, or search for new artists. Finding stock images or art tutorials has become near impossible. People don't tag things properly, AI garbage is every where, even the groups are floundering. I so wish they'd never sold the site to Wix. I so wish they'd never gotten rid of categories, and I definitely wish they hadn't allowed AI let alone embraced it. I thank those of you who remain to fav on my art and continue to watch me here. I have no plans to leave just yet, but if you do go I hope you'll watch me on Bluesky or on Furaffinity.
