Back-ish?

I've decided that I should probably start uploading here again occasionally; in the last two years I've mostly been uploading to tumblr, on my main and sideblogs (I have a Flight Rising sideblog). I'm going to revamp my page and gallery here eventually, which'll take time due to the fact that it's severely outdated, so I've hidden most of my gallery for now. Over time I'll be unhiding more than the select few I've currently got public, but I need to make time to renovate everything else first.
Going forward, I'm going to upload some of the things I've shown on tumblr -- it's a lot of Flight Rising art, actually, as I've had a two-year-long rough patch (some very very low points) and drawing those colourful dragons has been an easier relaxation tool than other things. There's a good variety of fandoms/original/etc, though.
They'll be dated in the artist's comments with a link to the original posts, as they're probably not going to be in order (lol). When I open commissions on commiss.io I'll also be sharing that info here.
Hello to anyone that's still Watching who reads this! I'm not gone! lol

Update,
2 min read
I haven't been around much so I figured I'd make a quick update.
I've been going through some personal stuff, in short. My anxiety has gotten much worse (I began to become obsessive about contamination during the seven months of homelessness in 2014 and over the past year or so it's getting more intense by the month) and I may well have developed depression. Hopefully it's just nutrient deficiencies -- looking at you, iron -- however. I'm fatigued every day, and sort of exist in a haze or fog and can barely bring myself to do anything let alone anything useful. I've had plans, decent plans, that just melted away because I couldn't... the word isn't care, but the motivation just never arose.
There are other, personal, things that I'm not going to talk about. Tl;dr, I'm tired.
I've still been arting but have had moments of being dissatisfied with it; you can see what I've been up to here on my tumblr blog and Flight Rising sideblog, since I haven't been posting the majority of it to dA recently. Tumblr feels more private, I suppose.
I want to get back into things but I've even become quiet and reclusive on a platform as easy to manage as tumblr.
I want to get back into everything, I want to update and post more and be more interactive, but just like with real-life things, I'm fatigued.
So, yeah, I haven't abandoned this site, I've just been trying to get my shit together!
Edit ten minutes after posting: I hope everyone's being doing well. I'm very, very, quiet these days but I sometimes drop in anyway (and/or check out how great everyone's getting with their artings) and am surprised that I'm still getting new Watchers and even a few Llama badges. I still appreciate it all and as I make progress on fixing my health hope to be less reclusive and actually start saying hi again. (OvO)/

Just busy, and on tumblr more than here lately. It feels more personal and private. And also, I have 16,000 messages in my inbox here.

My offer from last month still stands. Note me inquiring about what you'd want drawn, and when confirmed Gift me a Membership; however, for the next six days dA is also running its 'give one, get one free' promotion.
Therefore, if you get a Membership commission from me, you also get an equivalent premium sub. Details of the commissions are below.
Even when you don't consider the fact that you get a free equivalent premium for yourself, this is already a great deal; the $7.95 commission (which is normally $15) takes me about 1-2 hours whereas the $29.95 one (which would run about $45 normally) takes at least 4 hours to complete. I'm technically only making half the minimum wage on these commissions, but I'd just like to renew my Premium so I'm willing to take the hit this time.
I could also do this for creature characters! Just as long as the design isn't very intricate.
