~(Art originally posted on 15th June 2024)~

Hi everyone, I've decided to return to Derpibooru (after not posting anything for two years) and continue to share my stuff here. I left because I felt that I was wasting my time, with a community that didn't care and took art and artist's work for granted, but I was evidently proven at least somewhat wrong.

More people than I expected noticed my absence and went out of their way to find me elsewhere, mention that they were from Derpibooru and say they missed seeing my work. People do care, it's just that most of them lurk in the shadows where they see me but I can't see them. I'm willing to at least see how things go.

To hopefully get you to step out of the shadows (even if it's just to say welcome back), I'm going to start by posting one of my best and most loved art pieces from my 2 year hiatus - an absolutely gorgeous remaster of my first artwork with Rainbow Dash I made 7 years ago (6 at the time) to showcase my massive improvement with art, and to cheer myself up when I was in a bad mood:

Unfortunately it does mean my stuff will no longer be in chronological order, but I will continue to post art that I've done as and when I feel like it.

If you want to give me a reason to continue to make art, the best thing you can do right now is to tell a friend about what I do, or make a one-off donation on Ko-Fi. I don't have a Patreon anymore, and I've paused Subscribestar for now. While I still do commissions, I won't be advertising them or discussing them here ever again. Whether that's a positive or negative is up to you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
