Dear Watchers, Readers and Friends,

This past year has been a good one. Probably the best I've had in quite some time. I've met new people, made a few additional friends, and learned alot. I have, oddly enough, more watchers than people I watch. I would thank each and everyone of you individually... I wrote this and will be presenting my final piece some time soon. It will be ~Dragonide and my collaboration that we have been working on. It is a double dragon picture of a winter dragon meeting an autumn dragon. I had anticipated finishing my Halloween themed creatures, but due to personal reasons they have been post-poned and will be finished, perhaps another time. They were a stereotypically coloured Pheonix, and a reeses cup wrapper coloured Chimera. My emotions which govern my art are there, however the skill I need to properly express it is not. I have said I was leaving and from many aspects I have. Its not easy for me to leave deviant art, but until I feel more myself, see things the way they should be seen, I shall withdraw myself further. Leave me comments if you like, I will not respond to them though. But I think it is time to leave a bit more fully. I shall withdraw everything I can, stop watching the people I watch. I won't get rid of the pictures I've done, nor my favorites, but I will do everything in my power to leave this place as a forgotten memory. It marks a certain time in my life. One that I shared with my friends ~ninjaintherain, ~RagingHostility, ~humananddemon, and ~bleedingbankai. Last year I shared my time with other friends. Some old, some new. And this year, the very most recent times, I shared with ~AubreytheLover. I'm still around for those who need me. I still have the "almost OCDness" thats screams at me to keep my inbox clean. I will not lie and tell you to expect any work from me in the coming months. If you choose to keep watching, waiting, then thank you. I want to, as I said thank each and every one of you. Heres the list.

Thank you:

And I am not done yet

I am thankful to the groups I belonged to, including several fantasy and dragon themed groups, as well as deviants Zadr group.

And to the various people I watched, whose art has supplied various forms of inspiration, loads of giggles, references and the courage to keep doing what I do, and not forget who I am. People whose art has taught me that fan art, although even if crappy gets lots of favs and pageviews, is not worth losing your originality. Better to be unnoticed, and disliked for who you are, and what you do, than be liked for shit-tastic fanart. Thanks for all the support and scoldings ~xxxPIFFxxx

The account I had originally set up for when I left this one shall not be used, but perhaps, when I come back... if I come back, I'll let everyone know the new account name.

Thank you every one whos supported my art or me. I'll list one more thing for anyone who wishes to know the people I've kept tabs on. Thanks for reading. And good luck to all of you. Do what you do
