Deviation Actions
I think I've finally realized that most of you have abandoned Deviant Art. The quality of art has really diminished and I don't see many new posts from my favourite artists any more. Whenever I post my art lately it gets really low views and favs. This might be the end of Deviant. I think once my membership runs out I'll pack up shop and move on.
It was a good run but I guess the site just didn't evolve enough over the years.
I post most of my stuff on twitter now, so follow me there. DerekLaufman

Core membership
In 2 days my core membership is expiring. A year ago I would have probably paid the money for the upgrade but these days I'm not sure if it's worth it. DA just isn't what it used to be and although they've made improvements it's still feeling like a bit of a relic to me.
Anyone else feeling this way? Should I renew? Curious to hear your thoughts.
Comissions Open!
I'm doing another round of Chibi Sketch commissions. I have 5 more spots available so grab them fast!
Price $50US for 8" x 10" Ink and Marker render
Email me laufman@gmail.com to secure a spot
NOTE: I'm only doing existing characters (Marvel, DC etc..) NO ORIGINAL characters please.

That may be but I continue to upload here because I can upload to nearly everywhere else (Tumblr, Facebook, etc.). It acts as a good hub if anything that and a lot of artists I follow still update regularly. It's true its gone down by a bit but I weather the storm these days it seems like you can't stick to one form of social media you have to be all over the place.
