Hello world (and to those who are still following me)!
    I understand that It has been an EXTREMELY long time since I posted anything on this website, and I want to say that I am really sorry not posting anything.
But in reality, my activity is not going to be any better going further on. I underestimated high school; trying to balance a social life, homework, activities, and sleep. Truth is, I don't have a lot of time on my hands to be active on social media as much as I used to. nonetheless, I have been practicing and improving my art skills outside of the site...but It Is not the kind of art that a majority of my watchers would want to see.
    the point is, the big reason why I chose to step away from deviant art for a long time was because of warrior cats. I was a huge fan of the series when I came in; drawing one cartoon cat after the next, doing requests from other people in the deviant art community, and so on and so forth. But over time, I realized something. Though people loved my warrior cat art, the minute I posted something unrelated to cartoons, the attention on that drawing dropped. It was like the media wanted to control what kind of art I wanted to do without my say.
    Furthermore, I noticed that drawing the same kinds of cartoon cats over and over again wasn't doing any good to improve my art. It was only when I stepped outside the box a little and learned cat anatomy that I started to improve my art skill again. I tried to post my improvement and practices on deviant art, but they wouldn't get the same amount of attention as it would if I drew warrior cats. It really broke my motivation to draw, and thus I slowly started to drift away from the site. In full honesty, it was my fault for attracting the warrior cats crowd to my fan base. It is not the fans' fault, they just want to C SUM WORIER KATZ!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! and thus if I don't provide, they won't respond. So if you are a fan of warrior cats, you are free to go ahead and un-watch me; I won't blame you for your actions and go on a rampage, open up a new website, and dedicate it for the destruction of your soul like a lot of irresponsible children would do on here. I'm cewl like dat ;) (Wink)
    on a further note, the art on this account is really old, and thus has a poor reputation on my drawing abilities. So as a gift, here are some recent works that I did.bunny by thelongdreamertea pot by thelongdreamer

I might start a new account if I have the time. unfortunately for some, warrior cats and digital art will not be featured as often, and works/practices like these will be more prevailing.
Until that time comes, I will be sure to see you later in the near future!
Cheers~
The Long Dreamer
