Hey! this is my new account!::iconkevinchukadrawer:  :dummy:

Well, hello everyone!
this journal is basically to inform you a bit about me, how i'm going and blablabla....
lol; no, i don't wanna bore you with that, it's just to tell you that i'm giving up with dA momentarily(yes, a bit more than what i already have), mostly to get away from everything that was bounding me to the web site, i thought that i needed the premium membership, that's why i did commissions, which i regret doing and i have to say that i'm not going to do any more, not for PM, i'm tired of them =(
all this wasted time submiting about something i used to like and then realize that it was sthg the world wanted me to submit, i turned away from everything i actually wanted to show just because i wanted first to "please" people i never knew before pleasing the one who gave me that gift or talent. yes i'm talking about God, and maybe you don't really care, maybe you do, i do; but time before he told me sthg that i can't forget saying: not by the way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart (Ephesians 6:6 Check it, i recomend you). that's why i took this decision, leaving behind everything that was bounding me to people support.
no more commissions. and this doesn't mean that i'm giving up just because i get tired of it, and i'm an irresponsible lazy guy, no, i do have better responsibilities, first of all "Him" and secondly my family, studies, and else. and that is way more important than a premium membrance of any web page, and now that i think it, it'd have been way easier to pay before collecting points, that was a big error (for the people i owe a commission, i hope they understand and sorry but i have to say that i can't keep doing this, i don't let me keep doing this). but i've got to say that there've been things i won't regret, like have helped people from the other side of the screen, to have made comics together, or have met them in a way or an other.
i realized that i don't need to hope sb like what i do, but know that what i do is sthg that please Him. just doing that i'd feel better than having thousands of comments =D
i'm not saying that dA is a "bad" website, and sorry if i ofended someone with all these words, but this is for those ones who wants to hear it, "he who has ears,let them hear" =).
deviantart have been a great psychological support for me, and have gave me the opportunity to meet really good artists that i admired each of their works, but it turned against me when i started to look for the fame, wasting my efforts and time in poor and useless works (sorry again ^^; )
i'm going to leave dA for a short time , and i'll be back when everything that's happening goes away. no more fanart, no more plagiarism, no more useless works,The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
about what is going to happen to my account, it'll keep open, but no for comments, no more.
there have been some polls, that just someones voted, where i asked whether i should "submit" all my work, and that's because i've always worked in children ilustrations, focusing in the christian  environment and looking for the childhood evangelism. since i started submiting drawings, the fanarts where the most wanted by the people, and i get concentrated in submmiting that before what i liked, and when i wanted to public this part of me, i got afraid, afraid of not being accepted like with all the other arts, and i didn't do it. now that i'm saying it, i'm taking this fear out =), and when i get back i will public it, maybe it can be usefull for some one =D
i'm telling this situation for those who feel the same to think about it, and let me tell you that there's still being a way out from the thing that bounds you, maybe it's not dA, maybe it's an other socialweb, but the only thing you need is will, and the only one who can help you is not me, is Jesuschrist: I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.(phillippians 4:13 it's also in the bible =) search it!... or google it if you want =P )
from now on, i'm not gonna keep submmiting images in this account, i'll be saying where someday. if i get a premium membership be assured that it won't be for commissions =P. and if you have any questions, i'll be answering as fast as i can, when i get in this account.
bye, see you soon =)

I feel the same way as you; fanart seems to be where it's at and as much as I like that, I like doing my own thing far more. All the best and I really hope when you're able to have the time to come back here, we'll get to see more of your original works that you're so proud of and love to do. :)
