My subscription keeps running out on me without me noticing, because I have so very little time to keep up with dA!

Anyway... if anybody still reads this: yes, I am still alive, and doing really well. I just came back from a very short trip down to Venice, and I actually have some stuff to upload, drumrolls, please!

I would really appreciate some comments and feedback, as always.

Also, please check out my new featured favorites, and go give those artists some well-deserved love!


To those receiving a favorite or a watch from me:
You got it because I actually *like* your stuff. It may have blown me away from a technical point of view, it may have been an intriguing composition, it may have been emotionally gripping, esthetically pleasing, aggravating me, grossing me out, pissing me off, it may even have been technically below all standards, but still may have had something about it that moved me in one way or another. If your piece doesn't touch me, I won't fav it. I will not exchange a pageview for a fav. Ever. If you are on my watchlist, rest assured that it didn't happen as a response to you putting me on yours, but because your gallery impressed me enough that I would like to keep up with your new pieces as they come.

To those being kind enough to consider me for a fav/watch:
If you would like to give me a fav or put me on your watchlist, I would like it to be because you really like my piece(s), not because you hope for me returning the favor. Preferably, I'd have you leave me a comment on the piece you are fav'ing, letting me know on why you are doing so.

Un-faving on my part:
If I, at one point, fav'd you, and now you suddenly don't find your piece in my favorites anymore, please do not be offended. I go through my favorites from time to time, and sometimes it happens that something simply doesn't reach for me anymore as it did when I first looked at it. This does not devaluate your work in any way, or make it any less good, it's just an adjustment/evolution of my own tastes. Chances are I will find something else in your gallery later, that'll blow me away and needs to go into my favorites again. Please do not hold my fickle taste against me.
