I've decided not to leave DA until a lack of honor in the management exceeds what I'm willing to tolerate, or the community goes to hell in a handbasket. I'll clarify:

If the management starts performing acts like kicking out Jark and not providing an explanation with any degree of routine, I'm gone.

If the current situation is found by documented proof to be worse than it appears (read: Jarks claims of the management seeing only dollars rather than community is not only proven, but found to be understated), I'm gone.

If the community suddenly turns hostile to other people (like what I've heard happens on Elfwood), or to me (unlikely, because since I'm a small time deviant the bad apples normally don't catch sight of me), I'm gone.

Also, if Deviantart changes too much from what it was when I first joined a over a year ago, I may simply fade away.

Until those things happen, I'll be on here to sporadically post art, occasionally post comments, and fart around occasionally. Chances are, since my are has never been popular or refined enough to gather popularity, and my participation in the community is extremely limited, my presence or lack thereof will not make a large impact with any of the few people who read this journal. Regardless, these are my terms, and I will stick by them.

On a lighter note, my next art related project is a Graphic Novel. I've already got preliminary sketches of the first few pages, text (that I've been constantly revising... I've got all of George Lucas's talent for dialogue! ), and a story idea I've been bouncing around and developing for nearly a year.

I really like the comic medium. My attempts at storytelling in a text only medium haven't lived up to my expectations, but I have a good feeling with how this is going to go. So, you'll be seeing some of this somewhere in the near future!
