Hello everyone as I hope you guys are having a good one with the new year coming up. The year has been difficult for many people and overall, it's definitely been a mixed bag. Like the title mentioned, by New Years I will be leaving the website and become more active on platforms that I have been neglecting on (like Instagram) or have recently created an account for (ArtStation)


I know in the past I said I was leaving and stopped using it for a week before coming back, which that's my fault. I thought I would gain the passion I used to have for the website by staying here but realized that it's gone the longer I stay on.


In my recent image (which has information relating towards my feelings on my art and Devianart):


Mllermanda 2020 Art Summary

It has a lot of context on how I feel about my art over the current year and my disappointment I have over it. The year generally was an better than average for me, but my artwork did not improve a lot like I would had liked it to have. January, October and December were the ones I have produced the most of and I believe were the best quality (though most of September through December works are in my computer stash will be posted in 2021. )


I used to be extremely active in this website and posted so much fanart that I have enjoyed. Over the years, even if I do like drawing fanart still, I feel like I wasted a lot of time and could had focused on producing content within my own projects. I still struggle with producing my own ideas because of my insecurities and I have to focus on getting the bigger picture of art in order to make it. If not, I can't force myself to produce content that I put a lot of love into or else I will have a harder time looking for improvement in order to draw.


In general, I feel bad and disappointed on myself for not producing on what I would had like to drawn along with becoming super inactive with the website and the audience who watch me for my work. I am sorry for being able to produce the good fanart anymore and can not force myself to do it anymore.


I have to work on the struggles that I have been dealing with in my art and should just aim on what I need to do instead of want. I also need to force myself to be more socially active within websites in order to provide on what I have to do.


Regardless with all the negatively here, I still want to thank everyone who has stayed loyal and strong with my artwork. For the people who watches me, the people who favorite my work and those who do leave comments on them too. Without you guys, there would had been no way I would have gotten the views I got on my main page nor the motivation for me to keep on going with my work. I apologize towards the new watchers who wanted to see more of particular fanarts, like the Sonic/Dangan Ronpa series that I just failed to keep on, the Puyo watchers, Dangan Ronpa watchers, Codename Kids Next Door watchers and the Total Drama fans who really like my TD stuff. Along with my apologizes towards the older watchers who I have became inactive in talking too or inactive with putting art that I used to post a lot of (like Total Drama, Bob Burgers, Harvey Beaks, Assassination Classroom and Danganronpa (still like the series; just can not come up with anything good for them) Along with the watchers who were active with my ocs in the groups I used devote my time into (lost the motivation and passion for RPing now and feel like I did the characters injustice)


I am going way too deep with this type of stuff and understand if people see this as over reacting towards a pointless situation by the end of the day. But I just wanna confess to everything I have been holding back over the years and just need to spill my honest thoughts here.


I will still continue to use Stash to post my artwork in there for storage files but otherwise, I will not post anymore art. I will also commit to this too by putting a new cover image saying that the account is permanently inactive.


This will be officially my last journal that I would be writing within the website and thank you all once again for reading this. Have a good one and take care of yourself for the future we as people have to aim for.

Hello everyone and welcome to this event that I want to host called Commission For Charity. With the idea that I had in mind a while back, I want to draw commissions for you guys in order to send the money towards the charities you guys voted for a while back. So in total there was a tie between these three charities here:


Crisis Aid International:

www.charitynavigator.org/index…

Total so far: $0

Project C.U.R.E: www.charitynavigator.org/index…

Total so far: $0

Heart to Heart International: www.charitynavigator.org/index…

Total so far: $0

I want to have the goal to at least raise money to any of the charities up above in order to help out, due to the serious issue of the coronavirus problem that has been affecting everyone in recent times.

THE EVENT WILL START TODAY ON 5/20/2020 AND WILL END ON 8/20/20


The commissions will be different than the usually ones that I hand out and will be provided with examples.

However, I will mention that I can only do these commissions with Paypal transactions since with Deviantart points, it subtracts some money off of the commission. Preferably I would like to send off the money with the complete transaction than part of it. I will keep track of the money that will be handed to me from invoice and make sure to show evidence of myself sending the money towards the charity.

            Rules

  • Please leave a comment down below or send me a note on the commission that you want. 
  • You will have to pay upfront with the commission so there is no worries about scamming.
  • Process of the commission will at least take 1 week to do. Depending on the commission you choose I can either end up finishing earlier than intended or later. Since I have to make sure that I give your commission the quality that it deserves. Usually I would work on an artwork for long periods of time (like an 6-8 hour period)
  • Communication is absolutely important and I'll make sure to keep contact with you to give a progress with your commission. Please be upfront with me if there are mistakes within the image during the WIP progress that you would not like to have since this is for you.
  • Please be patient with the commission if problems do come up since life can be troublesome at times. If I am not able to finish your process with your commission, you will be guaranteed to have a refund back.
  • However, if you are having financial issues that require you to get your money back please let me know up front and I will also return your money back.

Hello everyone as I have a couple of updates to follow within some of the things that I have brought up in the polls and in journal messages.

The Commissions for Charity event


So I have ran into a couple of problems when doing this event, which the main two reasons on why I have no brought up anything about it are:

  1. I have an huge amount of work to do for school and I am not able to work on the commissions without sacrificing my grade in the process
  2. The poll that I had with this event had a three way tie.
So in order to make this up for the lost of time, I have decided to go with all three of the charities that have been voted by the people who voted and will link down their pages alone to donate towards them:

Crisis Aid International: www.charitynavigator.org/index…

Project C.U.R.E.: www.charitynavigator.org/index…

Heart to Heart International: www.charitynavigator.org/index…


As for the event, it will still happened, I will just have to wait until May 20th to start it off since by then school will be over and I will have enough time to focus on them.


Ask an OC Event


So I have delayed this one for a long while and I will have to keep delaying this event until May 24th. As the lineart process for this is done but I want to create a gif which in return will cost more time. 

Thank you everyone who read this and have a beautiful day.

Hello everyone as I'm sorry from the very pessimistic journal I just made a week ago. Even though my feelings with art has sadly been more true than not, I feel like there's a way I could use this as advantage to help others.

That's why in hand, I will stop being hiatus for now and have a new project in mind.

I would like to see if anyone would like a commision from me but instead of the money going into my account, it will go towards a charity relating with the current problems the world has to deal with cause of the stupid Cornavirus. 

I will cast two polls throughout the week, one to see if people actually want to do this or not and the other poll will relate with which charity I should donate the money too.

Thank you for reading and have a beautiful day, despite being stuck at home.
