Startist17

Hey everyone, I'm not sure who is still around but I wanted to let you guys know that I will be officially leaving dA. I've had this account for a while (around... 2015, then rebranded as Startist17 in 2018 or 2019) and it was my first ever social media account that let me share my art with the world. I've met so many supportive people and made some dear friends on this website and I appreciate every single one of you who left a favourite, comment or even commissioned me/did an art trade with me. I look back at the work I've made over the years and I've seen how far I've come and I probably wouldn't have branched out to other socials if I didn't start out on here. I've been mostly inactive on this platform for the past few years, with my attempts at returning to this account being futile. But now, I'm making the decision to more or less leave this account forever. I find it extremely difficult as an artist to support dA with their decision to actively support AI and AI image
