I'd been meaning to remember it, but once again the 28th of April slipped right past me. Nonetheless it's official: I've been on dA for half a decade!
And my word what a half-decade it's been. To have gone from pencil works like this:
To comics, splashes and animations like:
I'm just amazed I've been able to come this far, despite all the personal highs and lows I've experienced throughout. So thanks to everyone here that's encouraged, inspired and otherwise helped me get to where I am today.
Here's to five (and many more) years of drawing, learning and most importantly having fun!

okay fine I'll post a status... as a journal! :p ^ is why I'm here; didn't realise 'no to all' wasn't implemented yet. Not sure what they were thinking there, but better to rip the band-aid off and acknowledge flaws. I'll share what I commented there. "Images that come from Bias Automation (Neural Networks, so-called 'AI') are a pain to deal with as fanatics embrace them as 'art'; I can appreciate that embracing them so that they may be curated appropriately is a smart way to handle them, but it's still a loose-loose scenario." I can still wax poetic when I need to! :D (Really icy? "fanatics embrace them ... that embracing them"? I used to be better at catching repeating adjectives. :frown:) G'day! I'm still around on other corners of the interwhens. Work leaves little energy for creativity, but just in case my page is borked by dA updates, hoenniswheretheheartis.tumblr.com is still me~ Also if you wanna say hi or something and don't have tumblr (join the hellsite (affectionate)
Winding up
dA's been great and all, but it's been too long since I actually used it to find new art. Especially since most people I follow now cross-post on other sites and all that. (oh, and there's the whole thing where I haven't made time or effort to put any actual artsy stuff o'er here.)
So yeah, moving on from dA over this coming week.
Think I've really said my piece in the previous journal -->
There's some contact info in the id box above (given you're reading this off my da Profile) if you're after me.
Ciao!
10 chill years...
Woah, what's this!? A journal from icy?? in 2019!?!?

Yeah, so last Sunday (28th of April) this account ticked over the ten year mark. That's... that's a pretty significant milestone.
I think it started so I could follow TamarinFrog (https://www.deviantart.com/tamarinfrog)'s Random Doom comics and then I just uploaded this and that. So let's skip the meem templates and just do a retrospective, eh?

Yay!! Piece No: 1!! Someday I'll look back on this and think WOW!!
Or not.
Well past me, maybe not 'WOW!!' but I guess you liked Lucario and the Mystery of Mew?

Made a pretty cool Darkari out of lego that year. Shame it kept falling apart.

Oh
I played a game about dragons from outer space...
Update 9/1/17 - Found this old journal draft from late November, let's put it up here to feign activity, ja? I'll put in fixes like this if I see anything out of place.

Figure it was about time I mentioned where I was at and all that haha...
It took some time for that spark to catch on, however now here I am in a new group on dA and meeting lots of really nice people. Surprisingly some from Melbourne! I mean that's never happened before! Is this what it's like to join OCTs and RP groups overseas; to have such a strong chance of meeting people who aren't thousands of kilometres away from you at best??
Haha, in any case I'm looking forwa
