hnn i know i've must have talked about this 10 times already but... i feel like i really need to leave dA. it's so hard bc i got used to it so much over the last 11 years but even that doesn't make a lot of sense since the whole eclipse thing started. it feels very foreign and even more dead than before and actually all the time i've been here.

yes, it is the best way to sort your gallery still, but not even that when you don't have premium and can't even create subfolders anymore. i also haven't uploaded everything for a long time, heck i tried doing these art dumps again but it's just too much work if no one even sees it anyways.


i created multi-paged PDFs with all my art (for real) seperated in years for you to download for just 1$ via commissio, i will link all my remaining sites below, if that's something you're interested in. if you can't pay via commissio you can also do so via paypal and shoot me a dm via telegram/email.


i feel like, now that a new year has started, and with my last upload being the 2020 summary of art, it's a good time to finally let go of this struggle. i've been trying to change my relationship with the internet for some time now and i think this is something i need to do to get a step closer to what i'm aspiring to achieve some day.


i will not delete or deactive this account for archive reasons but don't expect me to come back here ever again. this site is destined to go to hell and except a miracle happens, it will happen sooner or later.


here are my remaining platforms where you can find my art and/or start getting in contact with me.



I have a discord too but i usually don't give that one away to everyone. Ask me about that if you're a mutual or can't reach me any other way.

I'm definitely most active in my telegram art-group and discussion channel. fA i mainly use for the bigger pieces, furry exclusive. ko-fi is for commissions, commissio for my digital downloads. feel free to shoot me a message anywhere, i'm happy to answer any questions!


until then...farewell

and to everyone who still reads this: thank you for staying till the end. oh and you should also probably leave this shit of a website too :b


xoxo eve

it's been dying for years now, no one cares, eclipse made it even worse. i wish i could leave this place but i've been here since 2010 and almost all my art has been uploaded here. it's like an ultimative online-gallery, nicely organized in folders. if i ever should be that unlucky for my hard disk(s) to break, i'd have all my art saved online, which is nice. i just wish dA would be more than that, i really miss a community, a way to share things...


i just remembered good old tumblr times and as much as i hated it because of all the bad things happening on there (porn, crazy kids, mental illness is cool and stuff like that), it kinda was the best place to showcase and share your art there is/was. the tagging function worked nicely, you could design your blog to look like however you want, you could have multiple blogs,...things you uploaded didn't always "get old" only 3 days later, like it is on twitter. (at least it feels like that for me). twitter is fast, angry, tagging is bullshit, you can't organize your art a nice way, can't customize your own profile very much. but rn it seems like the number 1 platform for artists to share their work - combined with their opinions which i - to be absolutely honest - don't give a fuck about. i just want to see art...


the whole idea about dA is so good but it can't keep up with a world which demands being quick, yelling about everything all the time, "trending", it's outdated. kinda sad about this, but as i know myself i probably will continue uploading my work here, even though i'm pretty sure no one even sees or cares anymore either. i'm doing it for myself and safety/comfort reasons (i often catch myself searching for a particular piece of art i made over here but in my folders because my folders are horribly organized and at this point it would take me 300years to do so :( also i don't always use my PC where all my folders are at)


i would start a new tumblr blog but i'm pretty sure no one cares about that website anymore either. it's no use trying to start something new on a platform no one uses. same like dA basically. i still have my telegram art group (it's mjoelkedraws in case you're interested), downside of that is not everyone has telegram. no folders or tagging either, also no interaction with others, no sharing. but it's the best was able to find for now, as most of my "fans" and clients are coming from telegram as well.



is anyone even reading this? i don't really care tbh, it's just me rambling i guess.

i'd absolutely LOVE to have you, to register you also just gotta DM me anytime. (via telegram, e-mail OR you can comment under this journal, or DM me over deviantArt too of course) I'm sure this will be fun! ☀️

Hey! long time no see!

I decided to delete my twitter account, to explain it very quickly -  social media isn't too good for me.
deviantart might be oldschool and i'm not sure how many of you even still activly follow me here but i kinda don't want to leave this website as it's my first one i ever registered to showcase my drawings (heck, it's over 10 years now) and i like how clean one can sort ones drawings with folders and stuff. (even though it bugs me hard that you now need to be a core member to create sub folders > : ( ) 

anyways, to come to the point - i will start doing art dumps again! the only place where i'll upload EVERYTHING  - doodles, traditional stuff etc will be my telegram channel, but as not everyone has access to that - especially strangers and guests  - i want to share all these small things on my deviantart gallery for everyone to see again. they probably won't be as big as they were some years ago but i think they'll still be fun to look at ! i hope? what do you think of that idea? (i'd make a poll but yeah..CORE ... does anyone want to commission me so i can buy a year haha) 
i'll try to do them monthly again - if it's too little content, i'll do two months in one or so, we will see. 

i also wanted to share my other websites where to reach me here too !
