Hey guys! It's been a hot minute since I really posted on DA. To be honest there are several reasons why that is but I am now getting back into the swing of things with doing art again.

So many things happened since I was active last:

I got married!

I had my first child

But mostly I went through a lot depression and life being a new mom and having adult responsibilities really went into auto pilot and suddenly I was just in survival mode.

Art and music had been my coping mechanism for my severe depression and anxiety for years trying to survive in a rough upbringing. I am so thankful to everyone that kept me coming back to DeviantArt to post over those active years.

I thought I would never come back to art. Honestly thought I had lost all motivation. I really wanted to but it just felt like I lost all the magic for it.

Then back in May I was informed through a online friend group I was a part of several years ago that one of the youngest of the group, Anna, had lost her long battle with depression. Anna loved to do art and had amazing potential. I hadn't spoke to her in over a year when they news broke. We were all devastated. I felt badly because I hadn't kept up with her it hit really close to home because I was her at one point in life. The point is without making her passing about me is-- I remembered the joy art had brought to me and I felt I owed her to keep going. Once again not to sound obnoxious. Her death devastated and inspired me to keep going. In all aspects of life but especially the love of art.

So then... I wonder what I should do as I return. I barely drew through the years expect some pieces here and there but never as far as going to color it digitally and post. I began to think and sort through my gallery- mostly fanart and much needed improvements. Especially my distaste for backgrounds.

I know I had already built a base on my Sonic Fanart and don't get me wrong I love Sonic the Hedgehog and I always will. But I know I am at the point in my life where I need to branch out and continue to develop my drawing skills for projects that have been sitting on the backburning for nearly a decade now.

I am not trying to overwhelm myself but I know I have to start by posting weekly again and trying new things as I go.

If you guys don't mind I would like you guys to give a response on this Poll and drop a suggestion either in the comment section or my inbox. Now please understand this is not a guaranteed suggestion or request, it is simply a suggestion.

Also I love hearing from you guys on my new deviations or inbox.

I know myself not to make any promises on any projects but I hope to continue to post and improve art with you guys watching.

If you took the time to read my update, I greatly appreciate it, thank you.
