Check out my Instagram which I post art, sketches and doodles on regularly entity_mindshifts

It is also linked to a secondary Instagram account in which I am CURRENTLY adding all of my Deviantart gallery to, plus extras like old sketches that I've never shared. moonshield_fanart

Find me over at Instagram!

I can't imagine that there are many of my old Deviants/friends and followers still active or eager for me to post something. 
The past 2 years have been one of contemplation and planning and fervent knowledge acquisition. Obviously, I am no longer active on DeviantArt as my subject matter has changed, I have posted less frequently and I feel DeviantArt is no longer suited to the directions I've taken with my artwork.

I have gone onto different platforms such as Instagram and Facebook.

I just recently rebooted my Facebook art page and have begun posting my best earliest artworks from DeviantArt and working my way to my most recent. Right now I'm still getting through all the digital art and fanart that I posted from my early years on DeviantArt. There will be an obvious change in direction and focus, almost as if I've become a different artist, but my goal is to keep all my work in one place and for people to see the change which is but the journey of an artist.

Currently, my Facebook art page looks like early Moonshield4/MsManipulateYourLife's DeviantArt as I post my old works from years ago. I've invited my facebook friends to like it and would like to invite any of my friends and followers here to like my new Facebook art page and follow me on my Instagram: [link]

Hallo,
I realize I've been inactive and inconsistent for quite a while. I can't say whether that'll change any time soon since my motivation is sporadic and, well...inconsistent; but I have started drawing again lately, and I've made it my goal to invest much more into art and productivity.

I have decided to update my username to something less otaku-ish. Same goes for my Instagram which I'm a bit more active on: instagram.com/tashas_stuff
You'll see my latest post is actually one of my earliest works on here
Looking back at my old work, I have to give myself a bit of credit, I wasn't bad for a 15-16 year old, if I'd maintained the pace and passion for drawing I had during my earlier years on dA, I would have been so much better now. But I got burnt out and distracted, and during Art school of all places and times....

The past few months have been consumed with existential crises, self-discovery, and eye-opening insight. I have been seriously considering what exactly I want to do with art, and how I can fully utilize my voice and express my philosophies and insights.
These are, I would say, "the dark years" of quietly honing my skills until I'm ready to "unleash" them to the world. I don't know if that's a good or bad plan.

On a side note: One thing strange I've noticed on my deviantart is that I acquire several followers a week but my followers count has literally not changed for like 3+ years. This baffles me. Are people following me as quickly as they're unfollowing me?? I don't know what's going on here.

Ah yes, I think my old fire has reignited. Suddenly I'm pumped to start drawing for dA again.

I had been going through a depressive phase that lasted for about 2 years which caused me to lose interest in the things that once interested me, like anime, manga, and being constantly inspired by others' artwork.

I think I needed to start anew with a different manga series, I needed to refresh myself.
Currently the manga that has its grips on me is predictably enough Attack on Titan. Just thing thing I needed to bring me back into the realm of art that I've always enjoyed and that had continually inspired my artworks....even if it is just petty, superficial fanart...heh.
I know my watchers will like nothing else of mine really, right? In fact, I bet if I uploaded anything Other than Ulquiorra or Kankuro, my watchers would care less....ahhh, under appreciation...love it, haha.
Whatever, I'm just saying that my inactivity for the past few years should be coming to an end here soon.

I'm wondering if my old watcher friends are still watching me or have they forgotten me completely..?? Wouldn't blame 'em.

I haven't updated my journal in nearly two years. Anybody miss me? Haha. Wondering why I haven't posted any Ulquiorra, or Kankuro drawings? I'm wondering that myself...That's the whole reason you guys watch me anyway, right? Which is why my latest uploads haven't received much attention I'm sure.

And By GOD I've been a member of this site for over 6 years now! Yikes, that's insane! I only wish I could have done more during those 6 years.

Unfortunately during these past two years I haven't drawn anything really worthy of showing on here; as some of you might have noticed I occasionally post assignments from my classes as a way to just show something.

My messages and deviations are overflowing, it would be nice to clean the dust off my profile and get things running again, eh?

I'm in my third year at The Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, GA and for the past three years that's all I've been preoccupied with. During college it's very hard to make time to invest into my detailed drawings, this is mostly out of fear that I might get behind in my schoolwork so I stop all personal drawings all together....which is probably pretty silly. I don't allow any time to explore and pry into my imagination, I'm only drawing what I'm being told to draw essentially :/ That's all I've been doing.

If you guys have any questions as to what's up, what I've been doing, etc. feel free to ask
Also, if my friends wish to add me on Facebook, here's the URL: www.facebook.com/thrashawaddle… Message me that you're a dA watcher, otherwise I'll probably decline.
